Random Game Suggestion

When I was pregnant with Nick I spent 2 and a half months in the hospital. (my water broke at 18 weeks....) I had lots of time alone, as my family was far away and I was fairly new to AZ. Just reminiscing of those days today. There were so many good and wonderful and people who will forever be dear to my heart that came and visited and took care of my every need. Even people I had never met before but heard that I was in need.... whoever you were **people from Salem ** thanks for the dove chocolate eggs... I will forever be hooked to Dove chocolate because of you (not that I need an excuse to be addicted to chocolate...) That was a very difficult and tender time for me. And to be quite honest!!!!! BORING!!!!!! I sat there for 79 days. Until finally about the last 2 weeks they installed in my room a flat screen, pull down, touch screen computer. I played NEWTONS NIGHTMARE for hours. It's quite addictive (I'm seeing a personality trend here... yikes) Seriously... try it! It's good stuff!!!

NEWTONS NIGHTMARE

I remember I would dream about it. Crazy pregnant hospital dreaming thing I guess.

3rd Grade Spelling Words

These were Sadie's 3rd grade spelling words: (see if you could spell them, let alone know the definitions or use them in a sentence...)

paradigmatic
reciprocate
reciprocity
reciprocal
rhapsody
notorious
rhapsodic
obsolete
obsolescent
notoriety

saran wrapped april fool's

We are not HUGE into the whole practical joke thing at our house... but it's April Fool's... who can resist? We had a series of saran wrap pranks this morning... one on the toilet, one on the toothpaste, one around the comb... you know (sort of obvious)... well NICK didn't like it one bit!!! He's the one the prank of the toilet back fired on (hehehehe)... so all morning he's asked me "Mom, when do you wash your hands?" I could see it all over his face DETERMINATION to do some pay backs... v

Story #2 for the day
This is the story of my little cheeser Andy and his best friend BEARRR (to say it like he does you really have to emphasize the rrr)...
Nothing in his world is right without the comfy feel of his sidekick on his hip... And seriously who can blame him... there is nothing better than a warm bath in the morning and a nap on the comfy chair with BEARRRR

oh and don't forget BLANK (blanket)... ahhh to be a kid again...
