A Hairy Picture Day. There is so much that goes into getting the girls' hair ready it’s ridiculous. Take a deep breath and read. It doesn’t work! Who knew that you had to have a special degree to do girls’ hair? In comparison, for my son all I have to do is wet it and brush it and it stays the entire day. Anyway, it was picture day at preschool – a very stressful day for me as you can imagine. If I screw up their hair on picture day, I’m sleeping on the couch for a week! Fast forward a few weeks. Me (lau...

http://papabearmemoirs.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
There were times being a Daytime Daddy when days seemed to drag on, especially when Peanut Bear and Junior Bear were infants. The days would run into another, making almost every day seem like ground hog day. I'm sure many of you know what I mean. The monotony of changing countless diapers and conducting seemingly endless feedings was sometimes too much to take. So to pass the time at home, I took to entertaining myself, sometimes, I'll admit, this was at their expense. Well, when I would wake the kids u...

The Papa Bear Memoirs - A Dad, Parenting Blog: Vacation from Vacation
http://papabearmemoirs.blogspot.com/2009/09/vacation-from-vacation.html
If you listen very carefully, you might just hear it. Do you hear it now? That’s right, nothing. Yes, the sound of silence. It’s a beautiful sound. See, it was a busy summer for Papa Bear and the crew. It seemed like we were going somewhere different every weekend. If we weren’t at my parents’ house, we were at Mama Bear’s parents’ house. If we weren’t at some party, we were down the shore. You’re right, I love it there. They respond: “Five more minutes.”. Me: “Okay.”. 8230;10 minutes later. Oh well, I c...

When the Naughty Step Isn’t So Bad. As many of you know, I go to work in the mornings after dropping Cookie Bear off at pre-school for 9 am. This means I work later as I usually don’t get to work until 9:30-9:45. As a result, I miss dinner most nights since I don’t get home until 6-6:30. Well, last week I had to come home early from work to relieve the sitter because Mama Bear had her “Back to School Night.” Therefore, I had to get dinner ready for the three kids. I don’t like this (the broccoli)! The ou...

http://papabearmemoirs.blogspot.com/2009/08/papa-bears-been-bad-boy.html
Papa Bear's been a Bad Boy. To all my faithful PBM readers;. I apologize. I have been a bad boy. I haven't been faithful to my blogging. The key to me having the time to blog was the school year. The kids and Mama Bear, a teacher, go to bed early during the school year, giving me time at night to blog. Well, during the summer not only does Mama Bear stay up later, but so do the kids. It wouldn't be fair of me to take time from them to blog. Im looking forward to it! August 11, 2009 at 6:51 PM. And Twitte...

In addition to the Mets games, I like watching just about any baseball game that's on and Junior Bear will watch along with me. One of the channels offered with the baseball package is a "mix channel" that shows eight games on one screen. Junior Bear especially likes this channel and will stand at the TV and ask me who he should root for in each game. So, you can see how this upcoming World Series is going to be one of the toughest. no, THE toughest World Series I have ever endured. I have ponder...I hav...

The Papa Bear Memoirs - A Dad, Parenting Blog: Reminder: The Kids Have School
http://papabearmemoirs.blogspot.com/2009/10/reminder-kids-have-school.html
Reminder: The Kids Have School. Well, Uncle Bear (my brother) got married last Friday and my entire family was included in the wedding. So, I thought there would be something to take from that for the blog this week. As it turns out, nothing noteworthy happened at the wedding. However, the following Monday was very interesting. So, I was on my way out the door to get to work early so I could leave early. As I brought the yard waste to the curb on my way to the car, I noticed a bus drive by. Truthfully," ...
