First off, thanks to Chingon for the info/comment on the Pre v. Iphone. I appreciate it! I think the Iphone is pretty darn neat (but then again, I think electric can openers are neat,) but PDad is all for holding out a bit to see what comes of this techno war! You're right, there is always something better out there..or on the way! C, do you have a Flip video? I love it! I'm curious if you have had one and what you think. (Also, I forgot to include the link to this article about the DSi. Jack has asked for one for his birthday, but we weren't sure how to compare to what he already has. Sounds like if you have the DS lite, you should stick with it as game play is the exact same...and that's what we're interested in, after all. If you don't have an DS, it's worth it to definitely get the i for the added features. The camera stuff sounds cool. Sophy would love that.)
I've just ingested a Relpax to make my migraine go away. Any minute now, I'll feel like a normal person again. Already I feel it starting to work. Miracle drug, for sure. God bless the makers of Relpax...and may they never stop making it (or find out that it's causing my internal organs to rot.)
I just looked in the backyard and saw Sam's tent (which is a full-sized family camping tent) inflated like a balloon and slowly gliding across the yard about 6 feet off the ground. I hope Sam wasn't inside...and no, I don't think Relpax causes hallucinations. It's just pretty windy here today. Windy, ha! This is a slight puff compared to west Texas wind. I never thought I'd say thank goodness for Pine trees, but at least they buffer the wind. Speaking of Texas that is west of here, I think I'm having withdrawals. Wish we could've visited longer. The younger girl cousins are planning to get a family reunion together this summer, so I know we'll be out there before we know it. The kids had such a good time this visit. They're getting old enough to remember places and faces. Sophy is already begging to go back to eat at Underwood's.
Sophy has become a card game fiend lately. Go fish, Uno, Crazy 8's, you name it. As I type, she's trying to teach herself how to shuffle while she waits for me to play another game with her. I'm so tired of card games!
Sam recently played his first song with both hands! He is so proud of himself, and I have to say that I almost cried when he played it for me the first time. Coming from a boy that eats dirt and collects sticks and rocks, I'm happy to see that maybe one day...MAYBE ONE DAY...there will be a bit of refinement. Haha. Sam. Refinement. HAHHA! Anyway, we're planning a recital for the end of the school year. He is thoroughly excited!
The boys have both asked to join 4H, so we're looking into some things for them. Sam recently learned about the competitive skeet shooting team, and he almost had a stroke. He has to be in third grade to compete, so we're still getting info on that. He will be playing football this fall, so we'll have to see what conflicts. Jack wants to show an animal (oh, I soooo don't want any part of that...,) but we'll see. Maybe Jack can shoot skeet too!
We played hookie from church this morning. The kids were seriously over-tired from the days on the road, so we're doing laundry and relaxing. Piano Girl will be here in a bit, so I'm off to order a pizza for lunch.
PS Happy News! This is a 4 day week, and then my SIL will be here! Tea party and girl fun!!!
