Oh Baby Baby


Lainie insisted on wearing her pajamas "Britney"style tonight.  I think Daddy should go ahead and install the bars on the window now!

Outside



"If I can't play video games I don't know what to do"  Really, we got a Wii at Christmas, less than a month ago and you've already forgotten what life was like before!  "That's it, go outside" I said to them.  At first this was met with protests from the boy, but after some threats he rethought his position and decided outside was where he wanted to be.  The two of them played for hours in the back yard today, it was great to hear them actually playing together so well.  I was only called upon twice to settle a dispute.  Once Lainie got a shovel thrown at her and later Jack got hit by a stick.  Everyone survived and it was great.  At one point Jackson was barking at the dog and said "I'm talking dog to him, you know I can speak dog"  he proceeded to try to converse with the dog and then said "actually I think I'm speaking seal".  That's it son, that's why the dog is not responding!  The dog does not look amused at all the attention!

Priorities

So I thought choosing a name for a blog was going to be the hardest part, but I just spent way too long formatting the layout, background etc. for this silly thing.  This is kinda hard to get it to format correctly, I am really not good at these things...facebook was challenging for me too, if that gives you an idea of my skill level.  There are so many things I should have been doing instead...I have a dirty kitchen floor, a chapter to read for school and the boy has spent way too much time on the Wii, but instead I chose to spend my time starting this new project. Here's to priorities!!

A beginning

Wow, I can not believe I have my very own blog!! I have been so intimidated to try this. Actually the most intimidating part for me was picking a name. I'm still not sure about what I chose but just decided to go for it. Maybe someone should start a blog naming biz to assist people like me (I googled it but couldn't find anything)! Now I've got to figure out how to make mine cute like all the others I've visited!! Good luck to me, I'm gonna need it I'm very challenged in these areas... I may have to recruit a middle schooler to show this oldie how it's done!
