Wii are still having a blast

Last night, Natalie and Jesse came over for dinner and Wii. Natalie tried to smuggle in her own little bowling ball in for the Wii Bowling.

Isn't she a cute mommy-to-be? They are counting the minutes until April when little Cecilia arrives. Meanwhile, Jesse showed off his awesome dance moves on Dance Dance Revolution.I love all of my friends for letting me post these crazy pictures of them on my blog- especially Jesse! I love that he had to hike up the pants legs in order to score higher. Of the four of us- Jesse was the best at Dance Dance Revolution. Wii just keeo having more and more fun this game system. I swear I am becoming a gamer.. haha!

my class

I rarely talk about my kids on the blog- but I am currently seeking some much needed advise. As many of you know I teach the 22 most amazing three, four, five and six year old children on the planet. They are getting a little antsy about wanting a new class pet. In an effort to avoid anything rat-like, we have been talking about getting a bird. A small, sweet, low maintenance, non biting fun bird (or maybe 2 if they are really small). Does anyone know anything about birds and have a suggestion of what we should get?

Here is a list of 13 things that may shock you about my day. This list will be very amusing to those who truly know me and those who know how unorganized and procrastinating I really am.

2) I have not played Wii (actually I haven't in 2 days)
3) I am currently on top of my January paperwork (for the whole 1 day we have had school)
4) I ate spinach salad for lunch and actually liked it.
5) I made dinner yesterday and it is in the crock pot for tonight.
6) I have already packed my lunch for tomorrow...
7) and my breakfast (easy to do when you have an awesome new lunch box)
8) and breakfast for Mr. D too
9) I am in my PJ's already and it is only 4:30- now that is on top of things!
10) and I have already had my bath too
11) I finally changed my dogs barking jingle bells ring tone today.
12) I actually know that today is Thursday
13) and I published my Thursday 13 before midnight!

scene from my house

Last night:
Mr D.: What time should I set the alarm for?
Me: Well, my Doctor's appointment is at 7:30- but it is just a blood test, so I can be ready to go fairly quickly- so whenever you want to get up will be fine.
Mr D.: OK I will set it for 6:25
Me: OK

We go to sleep.
This morning

Mr D.: @&%$ - it is 7:15 the alarm didn't go off (actually it had- but the sound was turned all the way down so we never heard it)
Me: What??
We quickly get ready and both leave- Mr. D. had to go back to work today. (boo hoo)
I get ready as fast as I can. Call Dr. office- they are not open until 8 (just the lab is open early). Get dressed as fast as I can and leave. Get into the car- no gas. Stop in the 25 degree weather to get a little gas. I literally just stood there until I was miserable. I only got like 10 gallons. I drove the 14 miles ot the Doctor's office. I get there - no one cared that I was late- no was was as stressed about it as I was. In and out in less that 20 minutes. Now I am at home enjoying my last day off before back to school tomorrow. I am trying to get everything I had wanted to accomplished.. but instead I am blogging and relaxing. There will be plenty of time to get everything done- but today is my day to RELAX!

Wii-ing the new year

Today, some friends stopped by to play Wii. It was a great way to Wii in the new year! It is truly a game for all ages!

belle of the ball

Last night, we went to the Hats and Horn's Societe Ball for the 3rd year in a row. It was so much fun. The band started at 9 and we danced danced danced! All of that time I spent on Dance Dance Revolution this week really paid off.. haha. This is a picture of me taken at the event. Everyone wears a hat and for the third year now- mine was the tiara. I am planning on retiring it this year in hopes that I can beg my new friend Jonathan to make me something FABULOUS for next year. Happy New Year dear readers! Make 2008 great!
