Mama Mia!

Lately at our house the movie Mama Mia has been playing at least partially once a day. Isabella knows most of the words to the words, and let me tell you it is odd hearing our three year old singing, "I heard about you before, I wanted to know some more, what you mean to me", and "Money, money, It's so funny, in a rich mans world"

Old Zen makes a come back.

Many of us a few years ago had the Zen balls that had bells within them and you used to gain dexterity in your hands. Remember those?

Well I am going to take a bet you do not use them anymore! Reuse: Let your kids use them. I do not know why I didn't think of this when they were little but we played for a good 30 mins yesterday with them.

I can assure you they will come back out again today.

All of the things bought!

With all of toys, special chairs, princess castles, and other what-nots that we purchase for our kids, the best forts and play things are the items we already had!

Opening Day 2009

We live in Ohio State country. Many people think that it is all about the football. Yes it does revolve around football, however at the end of the day it is about friends and family.

Good and bad for you?

We all know that fast food isn't the best choice in eating habits. However selecting the right items and omiting specific peices of an dish can make a meal decent for you. However nothing beats a freshly prepared hardy meal from home.

Anyway, we have found another use for our local McD's. (The name is shortened to provide aminimity) The playground is a great place to release some excess energy for a Friday night. These girls will be in bed sleeping at 8 tonight! At first we were very hesitant but I have been through all of the tunnels and it is kept impressively clean.

Kids Play

Recently we found some software for Isabella to play on the computer. She absolutely loves it.

I believe that you should teach your children at a young age about computers. However, I am the first one to say, that unless it is a closed piece of software like the one pictured, (Closed meaning it is hard to close the program.) you should not leave them alone. This coloring software provides music, once out of the program the music stops. Its very smart. I have a software engineering degree and I don't think I would have come up with that one.

I also put a little sticker on the mouse so that she knew what button to press. (I will admit it here, this is a one-up that Mac has on PC.)
