From the Russell’s

Nicholas has started earning some much needed cash – he opens doors for me, and so far has earned $1. Today, Mommy asked Nicholas to help out with the toys today, to help pick them up and Nicholas said:

Sure – but just one

He is learning fast. We asked Emily to take a dripping ice-cream plate to the trash, and she did (amazingly) – unfortunatley, she turned the plate upside down.. but she DID put it in the trash!

From Nicholas getting up at 4.30AM ! and seeing his new train set (managed to hide the rest from him) – to the twins storming in and ripping open presents, with Nick showing them how it was done. It was a lot of fun, and house was a disaster zone for toys. I am late in posting pictures/video because I have been preoccupied with a new PC game – Crysis. Much to Jenny’s displeasure ;-) Here is a brief preview with some more coming:

Nicholas was counting today and this is what he said:
Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, I love you, Twelve, One Hundred

If you think about it, I love you, does sound very similar to eleven. As for jumping to One Hundred from Twelve, this is unexplainable

As we all know, Santa delivers most presents on Christmas Day – but some gifts are from us parents. Well, Jenny is trying to get ahead of the curve and wrap as much as possible. The iDog amped – is quite impressive, but while wrapping the iDog – Jenny accidentally activated the unit and a chamber of noise engulfed our small home as it wagged its tail and barked in ecstasy. Well, as you can imagine, Jenny moved as fast as I have ever seen anything before in my life to try and smother the eclectic iDog to a peaceful slumber and wrap it as soon as possible. The kids did not awaken, we were lucky.. this time

For my XMAS present, I purchased computer parts. I got:
* Intel Core 2 Duo 4400 overclocked to 2.4 Ghz
* Geforce 7600
* New Motherboard
* 4 Gigs Ram

I can now play Crysis (hit PC game at the moment) on Medium level, and I am very happy. Only thing is, can’t really play it with my game helper Nick cos there is a lot of blood and guts and running people over. But I find it a lot of fun, especially throwing grenades at people.

Jenny is getting a purse… HOW BORING IS THAT ?!
