New and Improved!

January 23rd, 2012 by Kami

I decided to change my theme today! Do you like it? It’s all Wil Wheaton’s fault really. I wanted to add his “demand it” widget to my page and it was too wide for my side-bar. But there were other aspects about it that I didn’t like. I thought the type was a little too small – making reading my blog a little daunting. There were so many I liked, that the decision was hard.

Any-hoo…the kids are back in school today after a WEEK AT HOME, thank you very much! We were buried in snow for 3 days and then over the weekend the city was able to clear the roads. I was a little worried last night as the snow came down again…hard…and was sticking to the road…that we were going to get another 6am call saying school would be delayed or cancelled again. But the sun? It’s shining! Oh yes! Not a cloud in the sky. So hopefully some of this white stuff will MELT OFF already! My youngest is spending his morning making a new wii character. So far it’s a short, fat old man with women’s red lips. I wonder what he’ll name it this time. His last few have been things like “cheese” and “moomeemaw.” Now the old man/woman has horns. Two hours ’till kindergarten time! (Or mommy time.)

Have a great week!

Recipe for a successful sleep-over

January 21st, 2012 by Kami

1. Be crazy three hours prior to your friends’ arrival.

2. Argue over which of two movies to watch first. If yours wasn’t chosen, complain the whole way through in order to prove to the others that your movie would have been the better choice.

3. Stay up until at least 11:00 telling each other silly stories and giggling.

4. Wake up no later than 7:00am and make sure to slam all doors as well as shouting your excitement to let the rest of the household know you are in fact awake and ready for breakfast.

5. Try to sneak out some cookies before breakfast is served.

6. Ask for doughnuts an hour after breakfast was served.

7. Get all five light sabres, pass them around, and swing them around recklessly mere inches from the big screen T.V. when your movie has any meaningful dialogue. The actors may take it as a threat and get back to the action quicker that way.

8. Forage for more snacks and pop.

9. Go see a cheap movie with your friends and their parents, hoping for more popcorn and soda.

10. Finally say goodbye. The size of your stomach ache will be the measure of how much fun you’ve had.
