Quote of the Week:

"Mommy you ripp-ead my chair! Naughty." - Luke after I tried to step on his chair and the seat ripped out. OOPS! If anyone has an extra Lightning McQueen moon chair, I'd be interested.

Basketball!?!?!

Easter Egg Tag

Well....We have gone from the mid seventies back down to the mid twenties this week.
The warm days were spent cleaning outside and the cold days were spent cleaning inside.
The former guest room turned exercise room is now turned nap room and the exercise equipment is upstairs in our room where the daycare kids have been napping. It is nice to have somewhere to throw laundry baskets and junk when company is coming. Our project of finishing unpacking our bedroom is yet to be accomplished, but the garage is looking awesome.


We also got new iPhone 4's this week and I switched to a NEW LOCAL PHONE # in hopes to help local parents who are looking for daycare. They are amazing. We are in love. The biggest problem we have found so far is there are 5 of us and only 2 iphones. Timers must be set. The boys want new ipod touch's for Christmas (START SAVING FOR BLACK FRIDAY DEALS NOW). However we are supporting this and their wish for iPads as they have everything rolled into one (reading, typing, games, movies, music, pictures and internet). Last year after their friends got PSP's they had stated they wanted these, however they are just as expensive as the ipods and can do far less, plus for each new game or movie you want you have to go spend more money to purchase them and keep track of them while the ipods and pads can have them downloaded, uploaded and stored on them. Luke is really good with it too!

Society today uses these forms of technology as second nature. They are starting to become widespread in classrooms. Wayne even had his students pull out their phones to use as calculators this past week in class as all the real calculators had been taken to be used for DACS testing and they still had to have class and to have class in an upper level math class, they had to have calculators. I chuckled when he told me as this is something he swore he'd never when it was mentioned as the "future" by the school board president last year. Not a single student did not own one and therefore it was fair and class was able to resume.


Our favorite Apps and features so far:

Wayne- Risk, Shazam, Pandora, iTunes, iMovie, eReader, Homerun Battle, Netflix, and Redlazer
Kandi- iPhoto, iTunes, the 5megapixel camera with HD, Facebook, youtube, allrecipes, kids games

Restaurant and of the week:
We went back to Barbacoa's for our family meal out this week. Wayne got his CHUCK NORRIS SAUCE on his burrito and HONEY HABANERO sauce for his chip dipping. As good as it tasted he was quite sorry come today. I had their Barbacoa burrito (all of which come with lime and cilantro rice, your choice of black or pinto beans, a sauce choice, a meat choice and toppings). I chose queso for dipping my chips in. These end up MONSTROUS and I was unable to finish mine.

Outing of the week:

We went fishing!!!! It was our first time out and we wanted to catch some WALLEYE while they were in the run. SUCCESS!!! Andy caught his first walleye and Zach caught his first walleye. Unfortunately out of the Belle River and Orman Damn they have to be under 15" or over 18" to keep. Both of the ones we caught were 17".
The boys loved running around in the mud and muck with their dump trucks, diggers and shovels. They also loved sticking their hands in the minnow bucket and touching them. Zach would actually pick them up and watch them flail in his hand. He wasn't afraid to hold his fish by himself either once it was reeled in either. We had a picinic lunch on our Sherpa we got from Santa. It felt great to get back out to the river!

Today (Sunday) the sky appeared to be falling as snowflakes the size of toilet paper sheets fell from the sky. Everyone could be seen peering out doors and windows, or running around hands up and mouths open try to catch them. THEY WERE HUGE!!!!!

The pictures likely won't do them justice, but I had to try!
