Winter Energy

One thing I really hate is winter. We are all stuck inside (way to cold outside) and the activity level goes way down. However little kids still have a lot of that energy that they really do need to burn.

Grandma bought the boys this adventure game for the Wii at Christmas time. It comes with 25 activities and a play mat that they have to run and jump on to do the activities. They have so much fun and it really does get that energy out that they have all built up.

Have a look and tell me this doesn't look like lots of fun.



If you noticed someone thinks he is Indiana Jones. He has a hat, whip and everything, hence the singing with the adventure. I love it!!!

The only bad thing about the game is the mat walks all over the room and the boys never reposition it until I make them, so someone is always jumping right next to a piece of furniture.

Oh and we do have the occasional melt down when someone doesn't win. Oh well they have to learn someday.

NEW YEAR

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone, just a little late I suppose.

I have lots to share but no real desire to get the camera card out, edit my pictures and post them. I don't want everyone to think I have dropped off the planet, just lacking any drive to be on the computer. I do have a lot of drive for many other things including working out more, reading my Harry Potter books I got for Christmas, yes I know a 36 year old reading Harry Potter but I love the movies and decided I must read the books. My husband and I have also committed to spending more time for just us because with kids we tend to not do that as much as we should. I am also trying to put myself first, not to sound selfish just find that I put me last and I need to give myself a little extra attention as well. So lots going on in my life these days.

We had a wonderful Christmas, Luke also turned 8 years old. Where has the time gone. We had our first ever all boy sleep over at our house on Luke's birthday. 6 boys in all and let me just say 7 & 8 year old boys are very loud and they can stay up very, very late. They seemed to have a great time and I am glad of that. We are at the age now where unless Luke has a friend over to our house we are not going to see that child much because he is always being invited to someones house. I really like all the families of Luke's friends. I am hoping that I can make some mom friendships out of a few of them. I am one who really keeps to herself and I shy away from letting people in and I am really going to try and work on that also.

Soon I will bust out the photo's but for now all I have is a very late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
