Esssssspresssssoooo!!!!!!!

Last weekend our new laptop arrived. I was going to get plain black but it would have delayed the availability (scary considering this took 3 & 1/2 weeks from ordering to delivery) so we decided to get Esspresso Brown since it will be mostly used downstairs in our kitchen area.

So far I am very pleased with it, as well as Vista. It's a 1.86 Ghz Duo Core w/ 3Gb of RAM and a 250GB HD. Suprisingly it was not loaded with lots of useless junk software and I did not have to remove anything.

I'm off for some Sushi!

Fusion Fun!!!

So my wife came down with the flu in the middle of summer... YUCK!

I stayed home to take care of the kids and figured I'd take them for pizza buffet lunch and a trip to Walmart. I thought it would get us out of the house and let my wife rest while giving us something to do. My son had a gift card from his birthday for 10 dollars and he wanted "floam" that he keeps seeing on television commercials. This is crayola's equivalent called Fusion Model Magic.

It's neat. It doesnt smell like play-doh does and it doesnt crumble as bad for much better clean up. One thing though, it doesn't go well with hair as my daughter found out when she used neon green to make ear-rings matching her shoes... yes I had to get the scissors! :)

Triple Meat-Cake Slam

My son has been deep sea fishing twice in his life. Both times a citation fish was caught (a wahoo and a dolphin). He loves fishing and wanted the "triple meat slam" for his cake with a bottle nosed dolphin. At 11 pm my wife asked me to mold a dolphin, wahoo, tuna, and bottle nosed dolphin out of fondant icing. Here are the results!


My son always colors his wahoo with red stripes so we did the same.

He decided to put gummy sharks, sea weed, and sand at the base (thanks to a creative Mom).

Ice-shroom

One Sunday I noticed a mushroom with a large chunk of ice sitting in front of it. It gave the apperance that the mushroom grew out of the ice. Reminded me of somthing mythical from a video game.

Later in the day when I got a chance to snap some pictures the original block of ice had melted. There was still ice laying in a pile so I recreated the scene from earlier in the day and the ice-shroom was born.

Brrrrrrrrrrr.....
