But if the truth be known, I was able to pick up Ben from Cindy’s early today. Amanda is in Georgia for two days and I thought i would just have a little father/son time with my youngest.

I am really not a big moviegoer, and although I like movies, generally I see them at home. The rest of my family loves them, and that’s why I decided to ask Ben if he wanted me to take him to see a movie. He is fascinated with Transformers, and the new one is now out (although I have not seen the first two…..I really do not go to the movies) but he chose “Captain America” instead.

And the whole thing was really a blast. He thought Captain America was great, and I was probably the only guy in the entire theater to watch it with his four year old on his lap. Ben doesn’t get into plots, but at four is big into good verses evil. He just loves to see the good guys win, and it reminded me of childhood heroes of my own when I was his age.

The big thing was to do something special together, and we accomplished that goal. Scotty was working, Steph was sick today, and Cassie had to work as well. We thought about taking Viper, but every time I tell people he is a guide dog he ends up blowing it by jumping on them. That stupid dog missed a good movie today too.

But we are now home and the magic is gone because Ben is in his room protesting after notifying me that he no longer loves me. (Bad dad that I am, I made him put on his pajamas) But as fate would have it he has come in an apologized because he has to go to the bathroom and he needs my help. So he just told me it was okay and he is sorry now.

So everything seems back to normal, or at least normal for here for the time being. Amanda get home late tomorrow, and thank God for that! He can be mad at her instead!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
