Progressive Story

For those of you unaware, there is an awesome progressive story going on over at Okie's blog. It's an intense novel with twists and turns, keeping you waiting for more.

Enjoy!

The big 3

Wednesday night Sydney wanted to go to bed around 7:00pm, with all the talk of what was planned for Sydney's birthday the following day. However, after realizing it's hard to fall asleep too early, we played a few games and she went to bed at her normal time around 9:00pm.

Thursday morning came early, as the twins ate around 7:00am on their every-three-hours (definitely fluctuates). Sydney, the deep sleeper she is, slept in until around 7:30, and was all smiles as she saw presents on the table. I *encouraged* her that mom should be around for pictures, etc. so she woke Lisa up a little earlier than hoped for.

After opening presents, playing with her toys, and lunch, we went to visit grandma and grandpa. Sydney was ecstatic about her new art easel and supplies. We then left the twins with their grandparents to take Sydney to Gardner Village for a pony ride, followed by McDonalds. By the time we made it to Gardner Village, Sydney was asleep in the back, after an exhausting day. However, she was quite thrilled to ride C. J. We then went back for cake and ice cream.

Wii believe

Okay. I was tempted to pull off my last post, but hey...it shows how blessed/spoiled I am. Lisa just called a different Walmart, they said they had two, and she got one :)

Hooray!

Meat

Kids are the greatest. This morning, Sydney was helping me find a binky for Tanner. I didn't realize it, but I'll always say 'here it is, bud', or things to that effect. So Sydney found a binky and said 'this is for Bud'. I asked Sydney if we call Tanner 'Bud', what her name was, and she replied 'I'm princess' (which I frequently call her). Then I asked her what we should call Natalie (I've used 'pumpkin', 'peanut', etc) but she said 'Daddy, let's call her 'Meat'.

If you can figure out what she's trying to say instead of 'Meat', let me know :)

Here's a picture that my sister-in-law Wende took of the twins. She's amazing.

Searching for a Wii

Well, after a few years of not owning one of the latest consoles, I'm ready to get back in. We borrowed my brother-in-law's Wii and now, like too many others, I'm in search of one. Here's the major dilemma: I've called stores around the state and almost all say they get them in for purchase on Sunday :( So this morning I called all the stores, with frustrated employees trying to understand why, if I really wanted one, I didn't try to get one first thing Sunday morning. Kmart said they receive one yesterday for sale...one.

Let me know if you see one available for $250 :(
