Oh happy day!

Holy cow I paid $25 to fill up my car today! I couldn't believe it, I'm use to paying $40 sometimes $50 to fill it up and we have a small car too.

My new addiction...

I love to play video games but since my husband bought an Xbox 360 there hasn't been a game I love to play until now.....Lego's has come out with some awesome video games all three are soo much fun. My personal favorite is Legos Batman. Whoever decided that when you die you don't have to exit the game was a genius!! In these games if you die you come right back to where you left off and it reduces a lot of rage for me I get so mad when I'm so close to finishing a level and I die and have to start over again, in these games you just die and come right back to life and continue on! Also there is so much to this game you never get tired of playing it there is always something new to a level, you can play it 50 times and still not unlock all its mysteries. AND best of all its great for all ages I love it and Ana loves it. Even tho she doesn't know how to play it she can move the characters around and still have fun as she gains her gaming skills hehehehe lol. Like I said the Batman one is my favorite but they are all fun to play. If you get a chance to rent one today do it but be careful its very addicting so make sure you have all your chores done and kids fed before you sit down and play you'll never want to stop!!

In the mood...

I don't know what it is about cold overcast days and being sick with a cold but I'm in the mood to sit on the couch and wrap up in a blanket and watch Anne of Green Gables. I love that show thats one show I will never ever get sick of watching!!

You do what it takes....

As with all kids I'm sure this is the same ol' story in every household. When Ana is interested in playing and not eating I usually try to get her to eat by saying "Ana, you can't have any treats unless you eat" up till now that has worked, now her response is "OK Mom, no treats" Little stink, now I've gone to threatening to throw away her toys and I have...... but they were just happy meal toys, but it works!!

Halloween Fun

Some of our traditions we like to do for Halloween is go to Vineyard Gardens Pumpkinland and go thru their fun tour of the pumpkin patch and farm and pick out our pumpkins.

We take our pumpkins home and clean 'em up and carve them. We got four pumpkins, one for each member of the family. Jethro hurt his finger the night before playing volleyball so I had to do all the work, I cleaned 'em out and carved all the pumpkins with some help from Ana! Its was alot of work but it was fun I love Halloween its one of my favorite holidays!!

Stitches again....

We had a rude awakening Wednesday morning. Ana was asleep in Jethro's spot in our bed and that's the side closest to the wall and baseboard heater. So at about 2:30am she was turning in her sleep and fell out of bed and smacked her head on the baseboard heater. I didn't have my glasses on when I pulled her back in bed with me and held her on top of me while she cried. I felt what I thought where her tears running down on my face so I kept wiping it away when I finally looked at my hand and realized it wasn't tears it was blood.
I looked down and saw a gash in her forehead, poor thing. I called for Jethro, cuz he was sleeping in the living room, no he wasn't in the "dog house" he just like to fall asleep watching t.v. He took Ana and cleaned her up and we had our first trip to the emergency room! The nurses were great, they were so sweet with her. Ana was freezing in the cold emergency room so they got her a warm blanket and turned on cartoons for her while we waited for the doc. She was doing so good letting the nurses and doctor look at her ouchie until they had to numb it she cried and cried. Then the doctor came in to do the stitches and even tho Ana couldn't feel any pain after they numbed she didn't like having her face covered by the sheet so the doctor could stitch her up. Luckily it was only two stitches and it was over fast. The nurses felt so bad for her she got two stuffed animals and four stickers for her trauma!! Compared to her first experience getting stitches this time around was a breeze
