I know I said I had found my Halloween Costume a month or so ago… but I found, and bought, my real choice last night off Shirt.Woot.com.

I’m sorry to say that they’re sold out for today or you could join me as my twin classic, green-screened, gameboy.

In Episode 80 I referenced by former dogs, Deeogee and Beckett. Today I ran across an old photo of them hanging out… apparently planning their escape!

Isn’t Deogee the coolest looking dog ever?

We’ve taken a trip to Disney every year for probably 5 years now. Each year we’ve had our little girl we’ve plopped a Stitch hat on her head and taken a picture. I thought I’d share the photos from the last 4 years with you guys. Notice we’ve started ‘afresh’ with our second child.

** Edit: After investigating the photos a bit, I can’t say that I’m surprised that the hat hasn’t been discounted for sale in the past 4 years. **

Some of you NLCast peeps may not listen to Geek Loves Nerd… and you’re missing out. Not just on the awesome show I do with my amazing wife… you’re also missing out on randomly recorded and published mini-shows I do with my 3 year old daughter, Jenna.

We call it the JennaCast.

Just wanted to let you know that our 4th show went live today. It’s awesome… and even if you don’t think so… it’s just 7 minutes long!

Check it out!

I love my little girl. She has these little things she says that are technically wrong… but so, so cute! Like the word “backpack”. She’s heard us say “Pack-pack” apparently… so that’s what they are! Instead of “boogers” they’re “biggers”… it’s hilarious because if you talk about eating a bigger sandwich than you did last time, she’s like, “Ewwww!!” Love it!

My favorite has got to be how she’s heard the word, “Chipmunk”:

I’m in the process of giving up one of my two offices. Now everything’s stacked in here to the rafters. Sound’s like I’m complaining… but I’m not. It’s a great chance to go through things and clean house!

A great attitude makes all the difference!

I recently put some stuff out for a local charity to pick up…. you know.. Just some stuff that we didn’t want anymore.

What can I say… I’m a giver.

I did my exhaustion test as an object lesson in front of 150 kids this morning. Previously my max had been 15… and that what I told the kids.

I taught on Romans 5:3 where it says that the testing of our faith builds endurance… then I intro’d the 100 push ups thing… told them that I’d barely done 5 my first time… but after two weeks I needed to do my test.

They counted out loud for me… when I got to 16 they started going nuts and then when I hit 20 they busted out with cheers and applause!

So how was your test?

I just finished Week 2 of the 100 Push Ups challenge. Phew! I’m starting to feel these things!

Some may remember that when I started I could barely do 5. I just completed 15 on my last rep! Woot!

If you’re doing the challenge, make sure you post some updates in the forums so we can keep one another motivated!

I dropped my little 3.5 year old daughter off at her second day of preschool this morning. She did awesome. She walked right in, sat down, and started an activity… never looked toward the door to see me standing there waiting to see if she was going to… need me?

I’m so proud that she didn’t. It’s exactly what I wanted for her… to not be that baby-like child who couldn’t stand to be away from their parents for even a moment. She’s always been independent.

So why was it harder for me to leave her today than it was on Tuesday?

I put this question out on twitter this morning. @JenAvila had an awesome, profound reply.

It is probably because it is a reality today whereas Tuesday it was a novelty.

Good word. She’s getting grown up. She will need me less and less as she grows. That’s what we want… yet don’t want at the same time.

It’s like the difference between a wedding and a marriage or having a baby and raising a child–Taking a little girl to preschool versus being the parent of a preschooler.
