Still Here!

Well, it's been ahrd to keep up lately. Just wanted you allt o know that I am still here, playing the game of Life. Spinning to wheel and hoping to make some more money. No really, I am looking at some job opportunities and hopefully I can post soon some new and exciting news.

The kids love to play Life. However, last time we played, Isabelle told Maria that after her first spin she had to go to college and proceeded to count out the spaces for her. Maria was not happy with someone taking over her turn and just to spite her sister, took the non college route and proceeded to win the lottery shortly there after.

The Life lesson in that one was a little hard to teach...Morrie and I quickly moved on and pretended nothing happened. That's generally the safest route when faced with guiding your children around really important issues.

Oh Dad!

Apples to Apples is the game here. Have you ever played it? One green card is picked and it gives an adjective. Then all the players throw one red card from their hand to whoever is "it" and that person picks, in their opinion, what word best matches the green card adjective. It was my Dad's turn. My Dad is a roof engineer, he designs roofs, he consults on roof leaks, roofs are his life. That in turn makes climbing ladders his life as well becasue he spends his days either on a ladder taking pictures of roofs, or on the computer writing reports on what he found. These are the red cards that Morrie, myself and my mom had that we threw to him. We were all SURE our card was the winner for the adjective "Loveable".

What are the odds? It was so amazing that we took a picture of his hand, and I am proud to say that my card "cameras" won! I think he just about passed out when he saw the cards!
