Isaac and I took off for a quick runabout earlier today - all of the holiday mayhem had us both needing a break, but also stewing a bit in our juices. So we went off to Pinstripes for a little bowling action: Of course being the day after Christmas, it was PACKED. But the hostess offered up a lane for 25 minutes... which was exactly enough time for one game of speed bowling.
Isaac has been playing a fair amount of Wii: He loves Super Mario of course... but there's a little limitation: When playing one player, you can only be Mario, but if you play two player, the second player can be the other characters. Isaac has decided he only likes playing if he gets to be the Blue Mushroom guy... which is ok if I'm playing with him... but when I am busy, he has a "method" to play the blue guy that sort of disturbs me:
Basically he plays as two player, and lets Mario die over and over. It disturbs me. But then I'm probably reading too much into it. I did make a comment about it, and now he's having the blue guy carry Mario along with him.
Bella has been spending most of her time with Papa working on art: She got a book on how to draw dragons, and has been drawing drawing drawing. Her cousin Lilli gave her a crazy wolf hat that she's been wearing non-stop, and her other cousins have her a hot pink snuggie blanket. Also, Isaac gave her a pair of ladybug head hugger headphones. I just caught her hunched over a drafting table tracing dragons, listening to reggae on the headphones. It's pretty amazing.
In my traditional role as tech support, I have helped the in-laws with their technology. This trip, it involved helping them buy a new TV and Blu-Ray player, upgrading their cable internet to a faster speed model, redoing their wireless network, adding a DVR and upgrading the cable to HD... Well that was fun! Also, they got a new iPad too, and I got that hooked up too. Earning my keep!
