Remember the "old days"

Last weekend, I took Neil and his friend Logan to see "Race to Witch Mountain". Ok, so, I wanted to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (I heard he wanted to drop "The Rock").

When Logan's Dad mentioned that he found the original movies...I thought it would be a good idea to try to find the movies. Of course Target had the dvd...but, if you are going to look for it....look for the "2-movie collection". Disney has repackaged both movies SEPARATELY...but a few of the stores still have the "2-movie" DVD...and I think it's cheaper than either of the repackaged movies...

The boys saw a part of Escape to Witch Mountain....but, will have to see the rest tomorrow when they are at Bachan's house. Jeff and I are going to dinner and theWarriors game TOGETHER! The first and only time this season!

Shaq is Back!

Actually, he has been back for a while...today, Shaq had his stitches removed....what a whinny kitty! He hid his head under my arm...sigh....

I realize that I have been remiss about my log...I guess I have been distracted lately....one of our dear friend had brain surgery this week. Luckily, the tumor was benign and the surgeon was able to remove all of it! All in all she is very lucky!

Bugs and Basketball

The boys opened their Christmas presents from Uncle Preston today....yup, RC Dragonflies. Fun fun fun....luckily this RC toy has a beginner mode...which is great because it takes a little bit to learn how to fly them. These are great....they even buzz.....

Here is Jordan with his "blue" dragonfly....their wings are really cool...


Neil has a "green" dragonfly.













Tonight we went to the Warrior game...we traded tickets with the Fujii's so we were able to go as a family.

Jeff was taking the picture...so, he wasn't in the "family" picture. Luckily, we found a staff photographer who took our "official" family picture. (www.warriors.com/gamewinningshots Game: March 15 Gallery:2)

Bankrupt!

Tonight, I thought it would be fun to teach the boys how to play Monopoly. So, I dug out the game we got Jeff...it's the one that has locations from around the world...BUT, it doesn't have money. What is the use of teaching the boys HOW to work with money, if the Monopoly game uses a CASH CARD, not MONEY!!!!

So, we ended up playing Spiderman Monopoly. It was more fun than we thought...the boys actually got the hang of it by the time JEFF won. I got really sleepy...maybe it was the wine.

Of course, Jeff was the banker and he took all of our money....sigh....

Here is a bad picture of the board...but, you get the idea. The hard part was the dice were red and blue...not a great idea for this board.





*The boys didn't even notice the tv wasn't on all night!

Addicted!!!

Ok...so at first they scared me...but, now...um, I am a fan. I don't know what happened...I was walking around Target...and these three, (yes Julie...THREE) bags of Nerds jumped into my cart.

My friend Julie, has been blogging about these Giant Nerds since before Valentine's Day. They are a little scary...and who wants to eat a NERD?
I haven't had any since high school...anyhoots, I bought one bag earlier in the week, and took them to school. Julie said that she would take the rest of the bag if I didn't like them.

Well, now I have 3 bags....

Booties!

Yeah! The booties are done...aren't they cute? Of course, they have little purple ribbons, are wrapped in pink and PURPLE tissue paper...in a pink bag!

I'll have to get Neil to make a card...that should be interesting....

Oh, and yes Julie....I like the Giant Nerds...for those of you who do not know what Giant Nerds are...(don't worry, I was scared to try them, but I tried them today)...here is Julie's post about them.

Baby Blanket #1 is done

2009 is going to be a busy year for babies!!! I finished my first blanket...this one is for Neil's Student Teacher who is due next month.

(I can post the picture, since she doesn't look at my Blog....as for the other people who might look at my Blog or FB notes...you will have to be in suspense!)

Today, I was working on the booties...but, I had a hard time finding a pattern that "sort of" matched the blanket. I think I found it...I'll post a picture of that tomorrow...
