"Mario" world

dreamincolorvp

This Christmas was a MARIO event. Santa brought a MarioKartDS slot car set to Benjamin. I am not sure who has had more fun – Benjamin or Mike. We also have a Nintendo DS with Mario on it, and Mario Galaxy for the Wii. J-Doc and Bevie sent MarioKart for the Wii, along with an extra steering wheel. Benjamin loves playing MarioKart and it pretty good at it. Mike likes it too.

Facebook

Well – Mike and I are trying to play catch up with everyone. After much peer pressure – we are both on facebook. I didn’t do it for the longest time. We are going to have to be very careful. It can be such a drain on time. But, on the other hand I have gotten back in touch with Carol Garreau and Tracy Rode. What fun ‘talking’ with them again!
I have joined a bunch of different local groups (JLLR, working moms, etc.). I also have ‘freinded’ a ton of people. It is kind of fun – but you do have to be careful what you say and how you say it.

Taggie

We still have Taggie at our house. We have had offers for the ‘taggie’ to get lost. I am not really ready for my ‘baby’ to lose his security blanket. After all, I still have Snoopy (in the cedar chest).

First day back at school – and a long one at that. Basketball practice tonight. First game is Saturday. Go Green Flash!!

Bad Idea, Very Bad Idea

In an effort to keep the little people busy and happy yesterday, I decided to tell them about Cops and Robbers and Cowboys and Indians. Well, that is now one of our favorite games. It was rainy and muggy here today. So, my big boy and my little boy played C&R inside. The loot? My camera, and anything else near me. Loved hearing the discussion about splitting the goods. Hope that is not a conversation that EVER really happens.

This is not a great photo – but it is one……

I finally am in the 21st century with a Facebook page(?). It is a blast hearing from people from high school and college. Even heard about the Youth Symphony reunion tour in 2010. Mike suggested I start practicing now. Wonder exactly what that means…………

I also made some killer Turkey Noodle Soup leftovers. Got to use the super cool ladle that Mom gave us for Christmas. Check it out – it is made to hook on the side of the pot and rest there.

Back to school, work, bball practice, and scouts this week.

First of Many

We had our first sleepover of the year last night. We picked Scott up at his house around 5:30. The boys barely got still enough to go to sleep…..then BP was up and down for another 45 minutes. This morning has been a medley of Wii, DS, and movies. Now, I am scanning in slides from 1959 listening to the sounds of two 6 year olds hammering a “Keep Out” sign on their ‘castle’ in the back yard.

Photos will be coming later –

Finally, a DS

All we wanted for Christmas was a DS. It was not the first thing seen on Christmas morning. We have had some BIG BIG fun with it (all members of the family). I am excited that my Brain Age is only 41. Woohoo! Take the little victories…..

Oh! And ya’ gotta’ love the oversized feet pajamas. Two pair under the tree. They are a size (or two) too big but to quote the big man…”They’re cozy!”

Just Keep Working, Just Keep Working….

I have had some time to get some layouts completed. Here is one I did of the boys’ trip to the Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock for the Grand Opening of the new ball park and the season opener for the Arkansas Travelers.
I also managed to complete another layout from the first Junior Deputy 2007 Pirates Practice. The layout has 25 photos on it. Mike loves to take pictures and I love printing them and scrapbooking, so there is a recipe for disaster there.
