I like to move it, 4th of July, and kids say the darndest things…

The other blogging tool on my laptop and the firewall at work at my last entry so I’m combining the two.

The move to the house went well except for one small mishap with the moving truck. We accidentally got it stuck on the garage. The SU was driving and cut the corner to short and hit the left side on the corner of the roof and it lifted the left wheels off the ground about a foot. Thankfully, a couple of guys helping us move were pretty smart. We used a jack, some plywood, two by fours, shingles, and pretty much whatever else we could find and we were able to get the truck unstuck. We finally got moved out of the apartment about 8pm on Saturday. We’re mostly unpacked now with just probably a dozen or so boxes left to unpack. I busted my rear area for three or four days to get most of the unpacking done. Our dining room and kitchen are completely unpacked and cleaned up. We’re still trying to finish the living room, bathroom, and bedrooms and those will be done soon.

We spent the 4th of July with the SU’s family since mine is all in Texas. We shot off fireworks from 5:30pm until 11:00pm and had a blast. Nobody got hurt but I did manage to burn a hole in my shorts. I love the 4th of July. It’s probably my favorite holiday besides my birthday, Christmas, and Thanksgiving (for the stuffing!!)

Today, I had lunch with the SU and the crumbsnatchers at my favorite Mexican place when it became abundantly clear that the girls needed to go home. I volunteered to take the crumbsnatchers home but that meant I had to go back to the office to get my laptop on the way which also meant that the girls would have a chance to finally meet some of my co-workers. When we got there we went up to my desk and I started shutting things down. Carrie started talking to the Crumbsnatchers and then they said, “Where’s coconut head?”

“On the other side of the wall” I said. We trotted around to the other side of the wall and said hello to Rob and then we made our way back to Coconut Head. As were standing there talking to coconut head Crumbsnatcher #2 said, “Who’s that daddy?” pointing to Danny.

“That’s Danny” I said.

Danny asked, “What’s my silly name? Since he’s coconut head what’s my name?”

Crumbsnatcher #2 says, “Dan Dan!!” Crumbsnatcher #1 didn’t quite hear what she said and she repeated it as “Dam Dam? His name is Dam Dam?”

Color me beet red while the girls are busting a gut laughing along with the co-workers. One of my managers popped up like a whack-a-mole out of her cube and said, “I hear children laughing and what’s this about Dam Dam?”

Double color me embarrassed. We got out of there as quickly as we could without any further damage.

I guess the moral of the story is there’s a reason why you don’t take children to work with you. I’m just glad there wasn’t any mention of any bodily functions. That would have been really crappy (pun intended).
