Can't leave all that negative hanging out in the blogosphere...

Andy was out of town during that last post, so I was obviously having a little struggle. I feel better now that he's back and I've slept a lot and, frankly, eaten a lot of fast food and chocolate.

I'm about to take the kids to the library just to get out of the house. The family computer broke a while back, so this is their only opportunity to play computer games. Let me just say that their favorite is the one where they build a person. Wait, it gets nerdier: the computer provides all the different bones and organs, and my kids put them together into a skeleton with organs. No skin or muscles. Yes eyeballs. They love it. The fact they choose this over actual "game" type games thrills me. PS - they are very good at it.

Also, I will try to check out the second book in the 39 Clues juvenile series. It has an entire online world with cards and clues and I can feel another Webkinz-esque obsession coming on. I need a kid who is into it so that I can live through them. Because, even to me, buying a pack of kids collector cards for the code is going a little too far.

Okay, I gotta go help Gabe pick out some clean clothes. His current choice is a sweatshirt and size 3T jammie shorts that fit like biker shorts. Not happening.

You need to clear out some space in your house one day and get some crazy lights( I think we have some strobe lights and a fog machine) and turn it into a little dance party for your kiddos. They love to get down and dance! Esp. Claire!

We have the whole 39 Clues series ... wanna borrow them? I haven't gotten to read them yet, but Shelby LOVED them and loved doing the stuff on their website.

Glad you're feeling better today. It's true though ... life is much better and much happier with the hubby home!

Lorin LOVES 39 clues!! She's read all the ones that have been released! She's like you, she reads a lot and all the time! I love it! I wish I was more like that but then it would cut into my sewing time!
