Epiphanies

I’m sold.  It couldn’t get any easier.  Cut up a pot roast into smaller pieces, salt and peppered it and threw it into the slow cooker and wala – dinner.  Well, I had to do the rice cooker too but still, it was an easy breezy way to cook meat.

Practiced multiplication with B.  I almost fell asleep during one of the sessions.  I broke it up so that I could keep B’s attention a bit longer and mine too.  Talk about boring stuff.

J had stinky poop today – I think it’s a residual formula poop from the other days.  Makes me want to nurse him for longer if it means I could avoid changing the stinky diaper.  Boy was it nasty.  Forgotten how foul it could smell.

Forgot to mention C did diving in the outside pool again yesterday.  Well, more like belly flopped in but he’s still cute doing it.  I should have filmed it.  B came along since he’s on spring break.  I made him write a book report on one of those Deltora books that he’s reading.  P and I chatted about her new movie which is going to be shown this friday but unfortunately I can’t make it because Dh has a poker game with his buds and I have to take care of the kids.  I mentioned that I heard her neighbor is selling her house (which has a lake front view) for $1.1.  It’s tempting but she said it wasn’t worth it.  I already knew that but it’s still tempting.

B went to the batting cage with Dh the other day but I think he took out his frustration (couldn’t  hit a lot of the balls) on DD and DD had a  nervous breakdown (haha).  Poor Dh.

We played Candyland – Dora the Explorer.  B won so he was happy.  Think he’s been a bit perturbed by his losing streak so this was good.  I really want the kids to be laid back about losing at games.  It’s all just a game – nothing to get huffy about.

It was a pretty relaxing day today. C went to his Yamaha music class this morning and then they went to get haircuts with Patrick. It still boggles the mind that young kids today have their own hair stylists. What happened to the days of old where cutting the hair of your own kids was the norm? Anyway, went with my boy band of three and hubby to the park. B rode his bike there. C did not since he isn’t all that great at stopping and starting. He’s 4 so we take it pretty easy on him in terms of bike riding. Once we got there though, he was a fierce bike rider. Hope he nails the stop and start soon – once he does, we can all go bike riding together.

We also played a little hoops, fooled around on the swings and played catch. It was fun. Came home and hubby made some killer pea sprouts. I’ll post the recipe tomorrow. It was delish!!

Then the kids indulged me in my new resolution to play more board games. We play way too many video/computer games. I managed to locate Cranium Cariboo. I think we have quite a few of those Cranium games. Guess people just keep giving it to us as gifts because I really don’t remember ever buying any of these. We have Cariboo, Cadoo (although I don’t know where the board is or the rest of the items that came with it), Hullaboo, and Balloon Lagoon. I’ve never played Cariboo before. Guess that’s why I was disappointed. It was really just a fancy memory game. The kids had fun because they hid their pokemon figures inside of the board and claimed the pokemons if they picked that particular square. I think if you’re 4 and older, it’s already too late and too easy. I suppose one can still have fun with it but it’s over so fast there’s almost no point to it.

I also wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to get the wp plugin smartarchives working. Still can’t get it to work. Blah. I really want it too.
