monday, wednesday, friday

Big Son is at that age (I have no idea what that means). I think he is completely bored at preschool. He just doesn't like to go. The problem is, he NEEDS to go so that he can learn classroom structure, but the material is way behind him. Today when I was talking about "big school" he was getting way excited because I said he'll learn about science, math, geography, etc. In preschool he's learning letters... So every MWF is a struggle for us and him.

Little Son, on the other hand, is having a blast...

a churro sounds good right now...

The Wife writes:

Little Son came running to me. "I pooped."

I said, "Uh oh, where is it?" (thinking he'd pooped in his underwear).

"In the potty."

So we go to the bathroom and sure enough he got up by himself and pooped in the potty. I congratulated him and told him to flush it down.

"That poop looks like a churro!" he said.

Yay for The Wife and Little Son on the success.

enjoying valentine's day

The Wife really did good today with her Valentine's Day gift to me. Back on my mission a good friend of mine (a fellow Elder) drew me an awesome picture of the Tree of Life. Up until today it sat in a degrading poster frame. Now it shines in this (sorry, I couldn't get a good shot with my office lighting and iPhone camera):

Also Big and Little Sons were having a BLAST playing "Just Dance for Kids" (their Valentine's Day gift from The Wife). Check out this video to see how they boogie (it gets good in the middle and watch Big Son at the very end):

Like I said, I think The Wife did great... now the ball's in my court.

bubble bath

Big Son: Look! I'm like Jesus!

Me: Why do you say that son?

Big Son: That's just why I have white hair.

what we've been doing recently...

Big and Little Sons have been playing with their laptops.

I have been pretending like I have a chance at working at a place like Zappos.com. The book I am holding is the Zapponians' 2009 Culture Book. The Wife's Bro is gonna get hired there--he's two interviews into it. What a lucky duck.

Yesterday the driver's side window motor broke in my car. I'm currently waiting for the part to arrive so that I can finish the job. (I <3 Amazon.com.)

I've also been working on some projects that include: some games for Facebook, iDevices, and XBox and a major website project. (I'll write about them as soon as they leave the Top Secret factory.)

And for that one person who asked if I quit the blogging scene: nope. You should be ashamed of yourself! You know who you are. For you, I offer the following sagesse: you should go get a spoon, dip it in honey, and rub it all over your face. Yep, definitely do that. Cheers.

breakfast every morning

Every morning I wake up and walk into the kitchen and put something similar to this into the blender:

Then Big Son and Little Son take turns pressing the "Smoothie" button until it looks like this:

But don't let that color fool you because honestly it tastes like this:

This morning's creation consisted of: 100% white grape juice, large handful of spinach, one whole granny smith apple, and some frozen "smoothie" fruit (purchased at the Costco).

Slurp! Slurp!
