Do You Favor One Child More Than The Other(s)?

 
I am a father, a proud father and I know that I love both of my children the same. However, my wife tends to beg to differ. She always accuses me of favoritism of one more than the other. I told her it's not true and honestly it is not the case.


My son talks and interact with me more, if he needs something he asks for it. My daughter on the other hand never asks for anything but she adores me just as much as I adore her. They are two loving children, they are my kids and I love them the same. We often go fishing , play on the park and take long walks together. Weekends are often game nights, it's the time we get to play games and spend quality time as a family. 


I am sure some parents probably do have favorites but this is something I could or would never do, I LOVE both of them the same. The greatest joy is having them around me and waking up each morning and seeing their beautiful faces. There are absolutely NO favoritism's, my love is real, my love is unique but, most of all I love them equally.



Engage with us in the comment section below and share with us your thoughts on the subject. Tell us if you favor one child more than the other and why?

Weekend Chores Around The House and Yard With My Children

Another weekend filled with yard work and a little repair here and there around the house. I will try my best to make it fun and have it done as quickly as possible, with help of my two children, ages ten and twelve. With their energy it should be interesting to see the outcome.

I will start by repainting the facia board of the house before the sun gets too hot. Early mornings are always best and since I am an early riser I will tackle it right away. Finally after months of peeling paint I am about to give it the touch it it so badly needs. My son will help me by stirring and pouring out the paint for me. Learning on the job is what I call it so when his time comes he knows what to do.

After this task is completed we will tackle the lawn with the lawn mower and hope to have it done by mid day. Upon cutting and hedging my son will grab the hopper and fertilise the lawn so that it keeps its thick texture and beautiful, green looks for the next thirty days. Not too bad for a Saturday task on his part. He gets to see the fruit of his work in a week or two as the grass turns greener and begin to grow.

My daughter loves to dabble int stuff like this, but I prefer her to help us keep fresh by serving us cold lemonade, water and snacks while we work. Working in the hot sun, it's important to keep hydrated. Being the ten year old, little girl that she is, she would enjoy her task, even though she would love to do much more.

All in all, we are going to have fun as we go about our work day sprucing up the house and yard. At the end of the day we will take pictures to capture our days work and enter them into the family scrap book for keep sake. Someday we will come back and reflect upon this and so many other fun days doing chores around the house and yard.

Super Soaker Cps 2700 Review

The Super Soaker 2700 by Hasbro is oneof it's kind on the market place today and in a catagory of it's own. Light in weight despite being heavy when filled with water. Ideal for kids and adults alike, consumes an ample amount of water supply for battle and accurate and convenient. The best of it's kind in the super soaker catogory.

No more than five pounds in weight, the Super Soaker 2700 gun makes it ideal for the battle field. Comes highly recommended with three nozzles and highly powered with a super efficiency rating.
Now onto something more exciting about the Super Soaker 2700. It's the most powerful spherical CPS bladder type water gun out there. It has 5 shots per tank, and very good shot time, while keeping high output. The 2X nozzle is great for conservation, in fact it's the nozzle I use most often on the 2700.

All in all I believe it's the best water gun out there today on the market especially given the price for this gun. Highly powered and ready for a water war at all times. Be sure to check this gun out and purchase one today. Ideal for ages 12 and up, give it a try now.

Hurricane Isaac: Palm Beach School Closes Due To Flooding

  Hurricane Isaac brings a wet day across Palm Beach, FL; causes the closure of all schools. Along with dumping of 14 inches of rain is expected and flash flooding across the county, which means no school today. The kids will stay at home today allowing them to sleep in late, enjoy a movie or catch up with some extra home work. It boils down to an extended weekend break for the kids.

 

Too wet to be outside but extra comfy to be inside to watch a movie, play video games or do some home work. This day brings lots of joy and excitement to most kids, knowing that they have an extra day of break from the grind of another school day. There's always something fun to do, never short of something exciting.

Stay inside and be safe, if going outside be sure to take a rain coat or umbrella for safety and precaution. All in all, enjoy this wet, fun day at home in the comfy of your home. Make it exciting no matter what you do because tomorrow is another day to return, back to school.

 

Summer Fun Stuff For Kids

Summer time is here once again, the time of year kids get excited due to the long break from school. For some summer camp begins, while others travel from state to state visiting parks, camps and resorts. For others it's summer school, work and study to help pull up those failing grades.

As kids we always look forward to the summer fun stuff such as the wonderful summer camps where you attend and meet up with some familiar faces and meeting new friends. The water games, pool and cooler games are the most exciting since the weather is extra HOT during this time of year. Disney is yet another favorite place for many to attend during this time of year where large gatherings make it much more fun and excitement at the water parks.

Summer has always been a wonderful experience for children and it will be for many years to come. The memories of joy during this time of year lasts for a lifetime. It's the time we look for the cutest water gears, toys and have a blast. These are precious memories which lasts for a lifetime.

What was your most memorable summer fun time?

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City PS3 Rev.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City turns the table as we fight for "the man" rather than humanity. Cosying down with The Umbrella Corporation felt a little odd at first, but I soon got into the swing of things.

Raccoon City is resurrected by Capcom and Vancouver-based developer Slant Six Games in the form of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. Although leaving the main games in the series to do the real story work, it still offers an unusual twist in the form of team-based third person shooting.
Operation Raccoon City is set directly in the middle of the infection zone of the titular city. You can play as any of the Umbrella Security Service as they get sent around the city to obliterate all remaining evidence of Umbrella's seedy dealings with the incident -- which also means murdering any people who have an inkling of the unpalatable truth.

This is essentially the Hunk mission from Resident Evil 2 writ large. Those that found that hidden level in the second game will remember the storyline. Here it is extended, considerable as we learn of yet another tangent to the franchise's main trajectory.

The basic premise is that Umbrella Corporation realises that their G-Virus scientist William Birkin plans to sell the virus to the Government. Their response is to send in a team to try and stop the virus getting out. As you may imagine, literally within minutes the whole world is on the edge of extinction when Birkin gives himself the virus, mutates and wipes out the team.

Each of the available characters have different abilities and weapons, which much is expected. Less familiar though is the way the story is told from the perspective of the corporation. Playing through these events batting for the other side is an interesting and intriguing experience -- particularly when fan favourite characters like Claire Redfield, Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine are targeted by the corp.

From this ethically-murky, cauldron, climb series' favourite mutants. Tyrant, Hunters, Lickers and the deadly Nemesis all step up to thwart "the man" at some point in time. Players need to reduce contact with the enemies. If their infection gauge fills up it's game over -- anti-viral sprays and medics being the only way to drain the meter.

In addition to the main story, Operation Raccoon City also delivers a four-player cooperative campaign, a four-versus-four competitive game mode and a multi-player heroes mode. The sheer variety on offer here turns what might have been a footnote to the Resident Evil cannon into an engaging and interesting addition.

For fans of the series this is an essential tangent to tide them over to the arrival of Resident Evil 6. For the rest of us, it's still a good chance to enter the world of corporate mismanagement and viral weapons.

A Day of Disovery For The Kids

Sunday was a great day for the kids as they visited the Museum of Discovery and Science in Ft. Lauderdale. The weather was perfect for the occasion and the atmosphere was warm an inviting as the kids mingle and manoeuvred through the crowd.

Monday was Dr. Martin Luther's Birthday making it a holiday for many, so we decided to take the kids out on Sunday to experience something different of sorts. Not that they have never been there before,but we thought it was the perfect time to take them once again. The exhibition tours were magnificent, while the kids pat and touch the alligator, snake, turtle and more. It was also exciting for my daughter to see a live conch for the first time after eating it so many times. She had a different out look on it after seeing it alive, vowing not to eat it again.

A little expensive, but well worth it for the kids to see and interact with the variety of animals and explore the science exhibits. It's essential for their growth, development and enrichment of the lives of children. It was a wonderful, fun experience manoeuvring the event. All in all, we had a great time as a family outing at the museum.

Enhancing The Brain Of A Kid

By Sanford Hall

Does anything really Work?
 Reading is fundamental for kids, it's one of the basic steps in enhancing the brain of children.  We all have our personal theories about what helps and what hinders our mind's capacity to think. And our culture is rife with fads. There is probably no more engaging question for us to ask ourselves than how we can enhance our mental powers.

Video games are a form of play, a simulation of exciting fight and flight activities that require constantly changing adaptations and multiple, shifting forms of attention. Good players must invoke unconscious and intuitive processing to keep abreast of the action. This is a form of challenge which in turns help stimulate and expand the mind.

By Sanford Hall

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you had a wonderful celebration with your family and friends. It's the beginning of a new year for all, let's hope and pray this year is a wonderful year for each of you. I sure hope it's a much less challenging year for myself.

I have outlined a few goals to achieve this year and hope you have done the same. Number one is to spend much more time with my wife and children this year. Invest more in the stock market, yourself and lastly to quit procrastinating.

I would like to hear some of your goals as well, so give some feed back in the "comment" section and lets' achieve our goals together. Many people tend to set goals at the beginning of the new year but very few achieve them. Be persistent, write down your goals and mark them off as you go along. Let's make this year a goal achievement year. Sing along the praise of a Happy New Year.

NEW Year's Fun Stuff For Kids

By Sanford Hall

  

New Years is here once again and the kids are already excited running around having fun. Today my wife and I took the kids shopping for our annual New Years Party. This is the time of year when we invite the neighbours, family and friends over with their kids to celebrate the new year.

This year we plan to do a few fun things for the kids, such as make them spin drums, balloons, noise maker shakers and the ultimate, favourite and popular glitzy glasses.

Materials for Glitzy Glasses

• template
• Poster board
• Glitter glue
• Glue

Instructions 

 

1. To fashion them, download our template and use it to cut the frame pieces from poster board.
2. Decorate the glasses (we used glitter glue), leaving about a half-inch at the ends of the arms free. Note: Do not use loose glitter, as it might shed and get into the wearer's eyes.
3. When your decorations are dry, glue the arms to the back of the 2012.

The Day After Christmas

By Sanford Hall


Christmas has come and gone, left behind are a tremendous amount of bills to be paid and work to be done. Never does any one given day causes so much expense and unrest which takes months and sometimes years to smooth en out. It's one rat race I wish I could escape, but given the love and dedication to my love ones it's one I will forever endure.

The fun has come and gone and only left are the surmounting bills to be paid left in the wake of the hussy fuss of Christmas. I took great pleasure in the excitement of the kids opening their gifts on Christmas knowing quite well that it will take some time to repay the cost of all the excitement. Millions of Americans come to spend a fortune on Christmas and not taking into consideration how or when they will ever be able to repay this debt. Never over extend yourself when it comes to spending on gifts or using credit cards. Buy only what you can afford, remember there's always a tomorrow.

With Christmas comes surmounting bills, left in the wake for us to repay a daunting task filled with stress and restlessness. Pinching a penny goes a long way, always remember there's a tomorrow. Never spend more than what you have in your pocket.

Christmas Is A Time Of Giving

By Sanford Hall


Christmas is here once again upon us and many will not get to experience it once again and to some it would be a first. This suppose to be a festive time, where everyone celebrate the birth of Jesus. With the poor economic conditions many children will not get to experience Christmas this year.

Nobody or no child should have to go without experiencing the joy of Christmas. As I stood in my kitchen yesterday cooking dinner I began to think as I always do. I thought to myself, what could I do to make a difference for some of the unfortunate kids at Christmas. But I remember, as my wife would always tell me "Sanford you alone can never change the world, so stop trying"! Then low and behold something came to mind. I thought why don't I give my two children, Aaron and Alexa $10.00 each and take them to the store and buy a random gift for a child and take it to some sort of charity within the city we reside.

By doing this helps my children in many ways as well as the children they are giving a gift. I thought it was a wonderful gesture and call upon all readers of this blog to do the same. $10.00 isn't much to brighten the day of some underprivileged children who otherwise would not get to open a gift for Christmas.

As a dad it brings great joy and warmth to my heart to see my children open their gifts on Christmas with excitement flowing throughout their body. This is the excitement I would like for our children to experience. Let's start by doing the same with your children or yourself by giving a gift to a children's charity today!

Last Day Of School For The Kids

Sanford Hall


Today is the last day of school for the kids before Christmas. This means I have to do as much if not all of the remaining shopping for christmas while the kids are not at home or in the way. The malls are crowded this time of the year while everyone does their christmas shopping.

I will be shopping for a few video games for my children XBOX360 and WII. I hope and trust it goes well so I can return home in time to bake them cookies as treats once they return from school today. Cookies are something they enjoy and love, therefore I know it will be something that's surprising and exciting once they return. As a dad, I live for these moments, seeing such wonderful expression on their faces. This is the reason I consider myself the worlds best dad, which makes me dad of the day, every day!
