Time o'clock

Max always adds his flair to time. 

Great caretakers

We took a walk yesterday and it was coooold!!!!!

The kids fought over being the one to push me on the wheelchair. 

Simone ran me over some holes and almost into the side of the road.  Max kept cutting off Michael's path. 

It was get to get out of the bus.  The kids might take me out for a walk again this afternoon if it stops raining.

Bunion Banished ...

... Breakfast Bestowed!

The family has been very great at taking care of me.  I woke up this morning and 5 minutes later, Simone handed me the waffles she had prepared. 

And just now she handed me a cup of Coffee!

Simone is so awesome! 

Phantom Menace

I had decided to show the kids the Star Wars movies in the order that I had scene it.   They enjoyed episodes 4, 5, and 6 and I felt that maybe we could just move forward and ignore the first three that I had seen by jumping to Episode 7.

They enjoyed 7, but I made the mistake of talking about Luke and Leia's mom.   That ignited a curiosity and now ... we're watching Episode 1.

I hated it when I saw it opening night because there had been so much hype and joyful anticipation.   I was disappointed.   Maybe it was because of the expectations.   Maybe it was just real ready bad.  

Now I get to see it again but through the eyes of many young kids.   The things that excited me (Luke Amidala's costumes bore them).  The biggest shock is that the character whose presence onscreen and awkward voice annoyed me so much on opening night is Max's favorite character.  

Perspective is so interesting!

The Cow

Simone and Max finally started playing Minecraft.  They've been aware of its presence but had not actually played it until last week.

Simone has been making several worlds.  This morning she made a new one and told me about it. 

"Mommy, I made a new town!  I called it 'The Cow.'  Don't worry, it's not named after you."

Good to know. 😐

Super powers

Simone thought that it was unspectacular that superheroes just shove villains aside to beat them.  She wishes they were more creative and did things like puke bombs.

Max chimed in his thoughts. "I know what the Incredible Hulk's superpower is.  Ripping off pants."

Pizza Rolls

I told Max that we were having Pizza Rolls for dinner and he asked for clarification, "Are those the pillows of meat?"

Why, yes.  Yes they are!
