I've taken this week off work to spend with the boys before they go back to school next Monday. Today we went to Paint Your Pot to paint ceramics. Ben painted a dragon, and Alek painted a trophy for Gary upon which he wrote, '#1 Dad'. Does anyone else see the irony in me taking a whole week off to be with the kids and Gary getting the trophy????
This afternoon Ben went swimming with his friend Evan, and Alek and I went to Walmart. Always exciting - so manyt things I didn't even know we needed. Alek got himself and Ben a set of this new game - Bocedone, or something like that. Next generation Pokemon. New way to spend my money.
But, our family has a new pasttime. We've started playing Rock Band together. It's hilarious. I'm the singer ... and if you know me, you know I can't carry a tune. This thing doesn't seem to care about the key you sing in, just that you're saying words in a relative tone at the right time. I do very well!! Gary and Alek take turns playing the drums, and Ben and Alek take turns playing guitar. We're looking for another Rock Band for Wii guitar ...we've found lots of Guitar Hero guitars, but none for Rock Band yet ... few more months and everyone will be trading them back in, I suppose.
So, tonight I rocked on the All American Rejects' Dirty Little Secret, and the song Creep (can't remember the performer). It's so funny - I hope no one can see us out the back of our house! We must look crazy.
Good night ... I've started reading the Twilight series ... probably won't be blogging much for the next few days.

I get the Irony there Marna:) Kids, ya gotta love them:) I think it's great that you are taking a week off to spend with the kids before school. We are doing the same thing next week so our blog will be pretty empty for a few days. We are taking them camping.
We play Singstar on the playstation and battle each other so I can relate. I am sure we sound just wonderful to the neighborhood as well:) Have a great week!
