Mario Super Sluggers

Hey - this is kinda fun. My nephew WHOAGUN, well, he LOVES this Mario Super Sluggers game for the Nintendo Wii. And, when the wife and I were at JR & Dutchie's place last weekend - the wee lad and I were playing away on it. The kid was good! So - whipped somethin' together today for him to peer at while mommy and daddy cruise the net.

Whoagun - pretty kewl, huh?

Cheers!

It's a beautiful Saturday!

Heydeeho bloggerino's.

It's Saturday and it's amazing outside. Just about to fetch me a cool refreshing beverage and have a sit down outside.

The wife is busy scrappin away and I sat for a bit to finish off a layout. So, thought I'd post'em up and then go and take'r easy for a while.

Actually - two of them to show you today! (aren't you lucky?!)


The second one is dedicated to my poor darlin' wifey-poo who had NO IDEA what she was getting herself into 17 years ago tomorrow when she said "I do!" Remember hunny - Till death us do part. hehehehe. Gotcha!

Anna Mae's

Hey kids - here we are - wrapping up a Friday night. The wife and I are hangin' out catching season 2 of Heroes on DVD. Doing a bit of digiscrapping while sitting in front of the boob-tube. The kid's punk friends Bing & Bong are sleepin' over at our place. (yech - Clair, on Heroes is about to cut her toe off). Great viewing, huh?

So, the bro-in-law called tonight and might be signing up for some Gym time. Hopefully with me! It'd be good to have a bud to go with. Makes it so much easier to go when the "mood" just isn't there. Sounds like it'll be a road trip to pain on Sunday. Will let you know, of course.

Oh - have mentioned that I am dropping off the 'happy pills', right? Well, today was day 1 on the lower dosage. My head is pounding, but doing alright otherwise. Look out! I hear the train whistle in the background - the freight train is on it's way! hehehehe. Wife - if you are reading this... make sure your SAFE spot is all set up.

So - for a layout.

Kewl, huh? Went for a drive with the fam a few weeks back to this wonderful little Mennonite restaurant in Listowel, Ontario called ANNA MAE's. All you internationals - catch a flight - take a drive and hit this place. Just be sure to get there about 11:30am if you are going for lunch because as of noon - you wont get in. Then - order the Broasted Chicken. Yes - I typed "Broasted". Trust me - it is to DIE for! Then, order some more to take out and stick it in the fridge for the next day. Coming from the UK? It's worth the 1000 pounds for the flight and $224.95 cab fair from Pearson International Airport. If you do actually come from the UK and decide to go there. Let me know. I'll meet you for a spot of lunch!

Cheerio!

For Judy & The Wife

*grin

Did this for my darling wife and her good friend Judy.

Enjoy!

Growing Up

This morning, the boy woke up before the wife and I. He showered and dressed. Fixed up his hair just right. Made his own lunch. Packed his bag for school. When I woke up, he was pretty much ready for school already. We sat outside and chatted for a few moments. Then, he said "alright - See ya Dad" and off he went.

The boy is growing up.

Thursday

Yes - Thursday. Only minutes left until Friday. WooHoo!

Bupkus to report from today. The kid came home from school all happy because he got "lots of hugs" today from GIRLS! Yikes - the lad is in Gr.7! So, little father-son time and hopefully... we dont get phone calls from the school.

Went to the parent's place tonight to do a little computer fixing. Nasty little bug crawled it's way into their system. But, couple of hours and a can of RAID - all is clear. While there, I was browsing through some photo albums that Mom had set out for me to look at. As you might recall, the wife and I lost everything in a fire a couple of years ago, including photos of the kid as a wee fart. So - a flood of memories as I was browsing the pages. Brought the album home for the wife to look at as well. Garsh... how time flies. And, how the wife and I have aged! LOL!!! That's what kids will do to you I guess. Sorry Mom & Dad!

Two layouts tonight. The kid and his brat bud in the pic have been friends since before Junior Kindergarten! And, pretty much since then, the two of them have gone to school together on the first day. This year, as you can see, was no different.

The second layout - just a little bit of fun while at the brother-in-law's place this past weekend. I always seem to snap a pic of the wife as she is cocktailing. I try and keep the evidence of my vices low profile. *grin.

Happy Friday all!

Helloooo

Howdy.

Cannot tell you how tired I am. Both the wife and I. NO - not for THAT reason! Sheesh. You bloggers have filthy minds. It's because of that dreaded WalMart trip I told you about last night. After blogging, sorta hung out with the wife for a bit, then headed up to the store. Well - as I am driving back home at 2:30am(!!!!!), the wife, who had to get up to go to the loo, called me on the cell. So, we kibbitzed for about 5 min 42 seconds, then I pulled in the drive another 3 mins later. We unloaded the bag of goodies for the kid and then, both being WIDE AWAKE at this point, sat and continued to chat for another little while. As 3:30 am rolled around, finally felt like we could hit the sack. I remember the clock turning to 4am. That was about 12 seconds before the alarm went off to get up and start making lunch for the boy. Yep - we were both bagged today. But - for a good cause. Turns out the panic attack last night that the boy had was due to his strong desire to BE READY for school. This morning, the look on his face was pure contentment that he was heading in for the first 'teaching' day fully stocked. Felt good.

Remind you to tell you about my new toy courtesy of my geek buddy up the street when I blog tomorrow!

For now - I leave you with a couple of layouts done. I have mentioned Bing and Bong - the kid's punk friends. Two layouts feature Bing - the older of the two. (the third brother, and the eldest who is late teens - we call him Bang.) Bing is a good kid. VERY polite. Not quite Eddy Haskell polite - but damn'd near close. (age showing through here - those of you nodding in understanding of that reference - yep... you know what I am talking about)

Enjoy.


This layout is titled after the name of the Geocache we did with Bing (his first) - "My Brother". Appropriate, as the kid points out, as Bing is very much his brother from another mother.

Awww - aint that sweet?
