Where's my remote!

When Pop Pop isn't hogging the baby he is in his "dungeon" watching TV. Normally he has the remote in his hand, 24/7. I mean, even in his sleep he adjusts the volume and changes channels. Who knew that ADD still affects you when you are sleeping?! Anyway, I was watching three movies, two ball games and several misc shows with him when Mom called us upstairs to eat. Well, I had to steal his remote. I seriously had to. He is a terrible flipper and the insanity needed to be stopped. I brought it upstairs with me and Mom saw me hide it. After we ate, Pop snuck away to his dungeon again, without clearing his dirty dishes from the table...AGAIN, so I really didn't feel bad about him going downstairs and tearing apart the basement. I helped Mom with the dishes and when we were done cleaning up the kitchen we went down stairs to find him using his caveman remote....aka his toe, to switch channels. He had pulled up one of the video game rockers and made himself comfy. I guess he got tired of looking for the remote, plus he figured I took it. He hid my book and wouldn't give it back until I gave up the remote. Luckily Mom had grabbed the remote upstairs and took control of the TV for a while. I think she enjoyed yelling at him to keep his feet of the furniture. He's as bad as a kid. Oh, and I did get my book back. I found it but didn't tell him about it. I made him give my book back later and he couldn't seem to find it where he hid it....hmmm, wonder why. I know, I know, I 'm a little bit evil. Just a little bit.

Pops 30 foot light display...

Someone asked how he got the lights up like that. Well, what you can't see are the two large maple trees its between and the branch that it is hanging off of. Now if you ask my Father how he got it up there, this is what he would say. "Well, it took a ladder and a lawn chair." He would go on to explain that he sent my Mom up the ladder while he sat in the lawn chair. Of course he had to get up and hold the ladder a few times. He says she got up the ladder alright but she had some trouble getting down, he had to tell her where to put her feet." Yeah, that is what he is telling EVERYONE! Don't you wish you had a husband like that?! Anyway, see all the spots that look like the lights are out? Those are actually where branches cross in front of the lights. I'm sure you will be happy to know that Mom and I took down all the Christmas lights before it rained and snowed, and most importantly, while Pop was at work. You see, that way, things got put away the way properly, not just crammed in boxes, taking up twice as much space. That is if they even made it into a box. More on the Baby Hog in later posts.
