Big Mike Patrick

     Hi there, welcome to the BIG MIKE part of the web site, glad you stopped by.

     So, last time I mentioned Grandson Number 3 Zachary was turning 2 (did so on March 3rd).  Couple of interesting things that happened before and during the party.

     The day before, Grandson Number 1 Christopher asks me to take him out to get a present for Zach.  Pick him up and before the shopping we go to McD's for Chicken Nuggets and a Hot Fudge Sundae.  he took the Sundae with him, ate about half and left it in my car.

     Out to Wal Mart for the present.  Actually I have to pick out the present since Chris is playing with the toys, but I show him what I got for his approval..a xylophone (more on that later).  It's then to Game Stop for his PS 2 game then home.  This all started at 3:15 when he came home from school.  That's important to know.

     About 7:45 that evening, my phone at home rings; it's Chris. "Popsie, do you still have that Hot Fudge Sundae I ate some of?".  Well it's in the car Chris but it's kinda melted.  "Can you bring it over?  I'm real hungry".  Well OK, would you like me to bring over some ice cream we have in the freezer?  "Oh yeah Popsie, thanks!"

     Since I'm only five minutes away, out I go, still in the PJ's and a pair of sneakers to take care of his sweet tooth.  Yeah I'm a sucker but I'd do anything for those kids.

     So we have the party, LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of little kids.  This time, Mom and Dad were in charge, Popsie and Donnie kicked back.

     So out of all the presents Zach got, the two he loved best were the xylophone and a "hammer the ball through the hole" game.

     Both from me and Nancy.

     Both the noisest gifts of the day.

     Mom and Dad gave us the Evil Eye.

     Great being a Grandparent!
