Nicholas has received his first report card!

Nicholas, we are very proud of you. Your first report card is glowing, you love your pre-school and we love that YOU love pre-school so much



I have lost 20lbs !

I have been working on losing weight, not specifically by dieting or excerise but changing my attitude on food and life habits. It is difficult, but my current progress is 20lbs in 14 weeks. I look forward to 40lb!

4 Day Break Over :(

without comments

Thanksgiving blues, I have never liked it. Having 4 days off in a row AT HOME is a rare event for me, so it was a shock to the system coming back. We did a great deal of work over the weekend preparing for Christmas. Basically, because the kids have so many new toys coming in, we had to get rid of the old stuff (charity). We also did some spring cleaning – in winter – to make room, space for Christmas Trees and so on.

My Wii is still stuck in Richmond, ARGHHHH.

I had to disable comments on my Blog – I was just getting inundated with SPAM comments from SPAMbots. However, if you have previously left a comment on the blog it should still work.

Happy Thanksgiving

without comments

We had a great thanksgiving feast, thanks to Jenny’s impressive cooking abilities, Jennys Dad and Mother visited at separate times. The twins enjoyed some peas and mashed potatoes, Nicholas had a Turkey Cheese Sandwich made by moi. Yesterday afternoon, my second Wii-Remote arrived, and Nick and I have been pretending we have the actual console. Its pretty snazzy, I can’t wait to actually use it. The biggest news today is that I have broken through Jenny’s shields and she is allowing me to rip open the Wii on its arrival. However, I will only be allowed to play the game that came with it (Wii Sports), the other 5 games I have arriving (including Zelda) will have to wait till Xmas. A fair compromise I think. I have some great pictures of the twins and thanksgiving and I will post soon.

The Wii has travelled in 1 day to 3 different shipping centers, now it is in Richmond, VA mere miles from its destination. I predict it will arrive Monday. TG holiday is getting in the way.

Wii Tracker #1

without comments

Well my Wii finally was sent from Ohio this morning, (interestingly, Toys R Us charged me on Sunday). According to UPS it will take 6 DAYS to arrive! I could cycle over faster than that. I hope it comes sooner, but Jenny says I am not allowed to open it. (FYI: Just if you are wondering, I am over 25 – even though it may sounds like I am 12)

Nick and his feast

without comments

Here is some media from our preschool lunch which Nicholas and his fellow students prepared for us. It was AWESOME! We loved it, and can’t wait for more ‘plays’ and ‘feasts’. Nick did a wonderful job.

He has a bruise from an Ice-Cooler incident, and when his teacher asked him how it happened (when we were together at lunch) he said ‘Daddy punch me’….
