Whiskey talk

Friends, Romans, alcoholics... Lend me your palettes.

 

I was lucky enough to get to try the Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 20 year recently.  I shall now spend the rest of my life trying to recreate that experience.

Believe the hype.  It's that good.

If you ever come across a bottle, buy it.

I'm leaving a little room at the top of my rankings just in case I taste something better some day...  But... I'm not going to hold my breath.

Daddy Wednesday - April 5th, 2012

Home with both kids for the first time.


8:50 Put on "Iron Giant" for Kid #1.  He narrates the action as it happens for Kid #2.  This is actually pretty cute.

9:15 Spending most of my time feeding the boys.  No coffee for me yet.

9:20 Coffee headache.  Gah.

9:30 Kid #1 won't stop eating (note to self: ask doctor if tapeworm or growth spurt)

9:45 Kid #2 can hold the bottle by himself now.  Good stuff.

10:15 No nap from Kid #2 yet.  Degree of difficulty: All Pro.

10:45 Nose got.

11:00 Give Kid #2 the "finger test" to see if he's hungry.  He nearly takes my finger off.

11:05 Five minutes of bottle, then he passes out.  Niiiice.

11:15 Kid #1 perfectly happy with a morning of "Phineas and Ferb" and legos.

12:15 Kid #1 declares he doesn't need a nap.  I'm going to play along and see how this turns out.  (Spoiler alert: not well)

12:35 Hands are DELICIOUS.

12:45 Flushable toddler wipes help make a house a home.

2:00 Walkies.

2:30 The walk did not produce the desired napping effect.  Now entering: Fussytown.  Population: Us.

2:45 After a bottle... ANGRY NAPS.

3:30 ANGRY AWAKE.

3:45 Now Kid #1 starts acting up.

4:00 Kid #2 starts boxing his reflection in the mirror.

4:30 Kid #1 REALLY acting up now.  Kid #2 upset, but he's not really sure why.  Degree of difficulty: All Madden.

5:25 Tag me out.  I'm done.


One last thought- It's amazing how quickly healthy eating gets tossed out the window when you're taking care of small people.
