After hitting Americana Festival, we headed home. J and kids ate before continuing the celebration of America's Independence, leaving me to kill time before heading to work at holiday pay.
So far, I'm cleaning out my Neon. I vacuumed/carpet scrubbed backseats and passenger's side. Got a headache, so I'm now finishing off leftover Little Caesars. Hope to finish car and do a couple other things before I have to head out, but first things first.

Mostly uneventful Tuesday.
As I mentioned previously, I was annoyed with Cincinnati Bell this afternoon. I cannot reiterate how much they annoy me, but I'm sure they will find ways to further frustrate me, but life goes on regardless.
J and I took D out with us on some errands. We got Pizza!Pizza! before the older kids got home.
Figured getting Little Caesar's today was good idea since K had a school musical tonight.
My inlaws came with us to the school, so we had 7 people loaded into the Journey. I was suspect of our bringing D along since she is 11 weeks old, but she was very well behaved.
We got there an hour early for choice seating and we got to mingle with paents from K's scout den. Overheard a discussion regarding the pinewood derby that made K's not placing okay with my father inlaw.
The musical only lasted 30 minutes or so, which seemed to make the decision not to tell my folks about the event a wise one.
The inlaws stayed a little at the house and a good time was had by all.

In hindsight, I wish I never bought stuff as a kid
Not sure if I mentioned it, but I used to collect comic books at one point. I didn't go nuts or anything seriously devoted. I got sucked into the fad and bought a series that I liked. I had the first 8 issues of the comic, and was broached by a classmate who was much more serious about a swap. I got 16 comics for my 8. The ones I got had a central theme to them as being The Punisher, Wolverine, or New Warriors. I subsequently bought a random comic regarding Wolverine, Punisher, or Venom, but I soon forgot about my comics once I moved out of my parents' house and went to college.
I got married while in college, so I never had the complete removal of personal stuff from my technical permanent residence. I basically just abandoned my stuff thinking my folks would leave my room as is and I'd get around to it when I felt like it. I was wrong. My mom isn't sentimental and tossed my treasured things or let her animals pee on them for some in-explicit reason. My baseball cards and coin collection were salvaged from the demise, but my drawings and comics didn't.
Though I was angry when I learned of the above unfortunate events, I forgot about them much like they were the recollections of a stranger until reading an article about adult nerds being upset their retirement savings(comic collection) were being sold at pennies on the FACE value of the comics. I got angry about the loss then remembered that they were probably worthless anyways.
Getting mad about money spent on disposed items is not as silly as regretting paying for things that intended to be disposable. I bought a lot of toys that gave me many hours of joy, if I hadn't bought them, then I wouldn't have the memories and would have spent the money elsewhere.
Today, I had a couple errands which I figured K and B could tag along and give J some rest as D was napping between feedings. They both wanted to go to Target. K had a giftcard while B had toothfairy money, while I had to see if they carried newborn diapers in the quantity boxes advertised.
My mission was a wash, so we ventured to the toy section. K wanted Lego Minifigs to the Lego Movie. he had enough to buy three, while B didn't have enough to buy one(but I would spot her the difference). K quickly picked three mystery packets and was content, while B wanted specific characters, a mermaid or girl with a stripe in her hair. I started feeling the packets for telltale signs of ones to discard. K assisted in the search until we came to a packet that didn't have moveable legs much like the girl with a stripe in her hair would have. B was content with the finding so we left with those four.
K would soon be crying when we got home, for he picked two minifigs he already had from our trip to the Lego Store on New Year's Day. Sad that B was patient to get a figue she wanted while the older K was haphazard with his decision. Maybe one day he'll be better with his money. Just last week he wanted to spend $4 on a digital edition of a 25 page Star Wars Comic, which I am glad I talked him out of purchasing.
Neither kid wanted to go get Pizza Pizza, but they wanted Crazy Bread. they didn't eat the Crazy Bread the last time I got it, so I didn't get it. Sure it's $1.99 if you bother to go to their website and print the $2.00 off coupon that is always there, but $1.99 is better saved than wasted in my book. Ironically, I bought two pizzas for $5 since I got my pizza card filled last time I was there.
Tonight, I watched the Playoff game in hopes of seeing Tom Brady cry, but the game was a blowout in his favor. I could have used that time spent elsewhere besides the tv screen.

Family Movies, pizza, furnishings
Tuesday at the Danbarry Dollar Saver is $1.75 a ticket, so we saw Despicable Me 2 today. Unlimited drink and popcorn in collectible cup/bucket makes the family a happy family for less that $25.
K only said that he liked the first film better. Not much to argue, but as sequels go it's okay.
Only sequel I consider better than the original is Empire Strikes Back. Godfather II is what J said was better, but I don't care for the trial and Havana stuff.
My lips are feeling cracked from the salty popcorn. I filled the bucket twice during the film, so we all had quite a bit of popcorn.
J was hungry earlier than usual, so I took advantage of a FREE CINNAMON CRAZY BREAD coupon that came in today's mail. $10 for two large pepperonis and an order of crazy bread isn't bad, especially since K has been eating pizza of late.
Not sure what the average cost of a family meal is, but our eating out doesn't .break the bank. On Sunday we had milkshakes with our Steak n' Shake meals and only had a check for $18 something. We never pay for drinks anymore it seems, so I always make sure to tip the waitress well.
The kids have switched rooms. I put in a shelf from IKEA EXPEDIT that seemed a bit heavy, so I made sure it was not above K's headboard. They seem fine with the arrangement. B wants to be with the baby, which will be soon enough. Her bed and the crib strangely match. It was unintentional that the trundle set we got B when she outgrew her crib was the same color and style. I'm not saying a Divine Entity made sure the Morris Outlet Store had the ideal match for us when we were looking for an affordable bed, but it worked out well that I think it's more than random luck.

Pizza Pizza
A couple weeks ago, we had Domino's pizza. I don't remember the previous time we had their pizza, but it had to have been a very long time ago since we have been getting Little Caesar's weekly for over a year and had previously gotten Papa Murphy's weekly for roughly a year or so before our switch to Little Caesar's. (Coincidentally, our Papa Murphy's has since gone out of business within the last six months or so and we'd switched long before the Springboro Little Caesar's closed).
The reason we got Domino's was due to J's "winning" a $30 gift card. I put the quotes because the pizza was disgusting. I still ate it because it had toppings that I like and I don't believe in throwing things away that don't make me actually vomit. The crust and sauce were too flavorful if such a thing is possible, and we WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER PIZZA FROM DOMINO'S AGAIN. So we will have to find something else on their menu to use up the rest of the "gift card."
Our kids love Little Caesar's and B wants to walk there whenever we go out of late.

Mid-week Birthdays last a week...
Strange day in that I did all of the driving, when I usually drive shotgun. I rather not drive with people other than the kids, but sometimes it makes sense for me to drive regardless of my preference. I had to get some things at Meijer's while the kids were at swim class, so I drove to swimming and dropped them off.
My daughter turned 4 on Wednesday, so we had cake and ate out on for her birthday. We gave her gifts today, so we had cake from Ele and Little Caesars today. I figure that you need to order a cake if you invite people from out of town to your kid's birthday. Homemade cake for such an occasion is tacky unless you do it for a living. We also had mixed fruit from Meijer's, for those that weren't into veggie or pepperoni pizza or chocolate cake alone.
It was a good time, I assume. We had both sets of grandparents over, and the floor was decked in pink wrapping paper scraps before long.
Only annoyance is I had to put a hold on the floor project that I had been working upon. When I start something I like to get it over and done. I have tomorrow and a while beyond to complete it, but the longer I let it linger the more likely it will not get done at all. I also got slowed down on Wednesday when I had to do a number of things since the wife was home. I'm doing the floor because she wants it done, so she can't complain about that delay, nor today's. In the grand scheme of it all we both acknowledge one thing: Birthdays are what make being little great, so don't sweat the little things that can wait.
