I'm not a fan of video games.....has a lot to do with the fact that I dated a guy that could play for hours on end and never know the world was crashing down around him. So, I swore that there would never be one in my house.
A few months back, we were at some friends' house and we played on their Wii. OMG, what a fun time!
So, I bought myself one for my birthday. I LOVE it. I don't play it all the time. But, I did get the EA Sport so that I can do some sort of exercise out of the heat! It isn't the same as running, but it is better than nothing and it is a lot more than the Wii Fit (that's just fun!).
If you don't have one, I would HIGHLY recommend getting one. There are games for almost all ages. Little has a Dora game, but she's not that into it. I'm more than ok with that. I usually play it when she is napping; it is just easier.

Ballet Update
Well, we are going to post pone going to ballet just yet. Don't worry, I haven't given up my quest, but we have a lot on our plate right now and I think that I'll have a better chance of convincing him of it in the spring!
I rec'd a lot of funny comments about it and I'll keep you in the loop!

Radio Days
We are sitting at dinner and Little is singing, LOUDLY. I ask her to please not sing so loudly, please eat.
"Ok, mamma, I'll turn it down." She then proceeds to "turn down the knob". "Is this better, mamma?"
"Yes. But, why don't we turn it off during dinner?"
"Ok." And then pushes the "off button". Makes a square in the air, "This is my radio."
Malc and I looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh!!!! So now during dinner we have to ask her to either turn down her radio or turn it off; and she pushes the appropriate button!

Three months later......
....it has been over three months since I went to yoga. I know, shame on me. I went Saturday morning and boy could I tell it has been awhile! I'm not a very bendy person to begin with, but to not do this for a few months makes it even worse!!!
I enjoyed it, but I'm feeling it today! I have it on my Wii, but just isn't quite the same! :-)

To Ballet or not to ballet
I went by a ballet studio last week to get info regarding classes for Little. I was so pumped, they have a class starting in August. This is a small class and in September the class will have almost double the amount of students. What a perfect transition for her to learn some of the basics of the class.
I told my mom all about it. This is a real ballet studio: specific uniform, must be bought at a certain store, the girls must have their hair pulled back, slick, in a bun! What fun!
I mention it to hubby. Oh HE%& no, that's too "girlie!" She doesn't need that!
OMG!! TOO GIRLIE!!! Whatever. So, we've been having a "discussion" about this for a week now: football players take ballet, it is good foundation for any other sport, Mia Hamm was in ballet as a young girl, if she doesn't like it we pull her out b/c we pay tuition by the month......you get the picture. So then I throw out: if we have a son, he can't play football b/c it is too "boyie", right? Stumped him, he was almost speechless and then came back with "that's different." Nope, it's not....but I think I made headway! I'll keep you posted on my progress!!!

On the MAP!!
I am SOOO very excited b/c we have a Thai restaurant in town. To some folks, that might not be a big deal, but to me this is HUGE!!!!
I went by last week and they were closed: Grand Opening on Monday, July 20th!!! So, guess where I went to lunch on Monday??? You got it! I got it to go. The place was PACKED, took a little long for my order, but it was worth the wait!!! I will be going back there OFTEN!!!!
If you've never had Thai food, it isn't Chinese. It is much lighter, more noodles and veggies. But OHHHHH so TASTY!!!!
Come and visit and we'll go eat there!
