Holy Thoughtfulness Batman!

Yesterday was my 36th birthday. Nothing really special in that, so it was spent doing normal Wednesday things like laundry, errands and taking the kids to and from school. We did go out to eat last night as I decided I was not cooking on my birthday. Anyway, Rob actually got me a card and a gift. If you know anything about Rob, you'll know that he isn't the best gift giver, so he usually just doesn't give me gifts. To be fair, he used to try, but they were so awful that I told him to forget it(ie....thong underwear one year, yeah like those were for my benfit). This year though, he actually....all on his own....got me a gift card to our local scrapbook store. Wow! Thoughtful and appropriate. I'm in shock. ;)

A Couple More

The Daily Show has a new website that has tons of videos from years past, so I've been able to find some of the funniest ones of old. Here are a couple of my favorites:
"The Crack of Ten" with Matt Walsh

"The Crippled Chicken" with Stephen Colbert http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=126543&title=singing-senators

"Slimming Down with Steve" with Steve Carell

One of my favorites

This is one of my favorite Stephen Colbert clips from the Daily Show.

Vagina Couch

A friend sent this link to me and it was just odd enough for sharing.

Emma at basketball videos

I couldn't figure out how to get a video on here, but I could on youtube.....go figure. ;)

I'm twisted

I took this quiz and found out that I'm twisted....which really isn't too shocking. ;)

Conan's beard

Here is a picture of Conan O'Brien sporting his Kris Kringle beard for last night's show. His facial expression makes me laugh my ass off:

Amazon

Last night I was perusing Amazon as they still had mega sales until midnight. Anyway, I came across a few products with some interesting names. So if you need your boy buttered, your tushy twisted or your goat horny....Amazon is the place for you!

Wii boxing

Here is a cute picture of Emma boxing on the Wii. She kicks ass!

The day after Christmas

So, it's over. All the build up for Christmas and then just like that, it's done. I have to say we did really good this year. We didn't spend too much on gifts and everyone got everything they wanted. The big gift was the Wii and some games for it. We pretty much spent all day yesterday playing it. My arms, back, and shoulders are sore as shit from boxing with a computer guy named James. He kicked my ass 3 times before I got him. Kyle got Legend of Zelda and Emma got Super Mario. It's crazy to watch a kid that small navigate stuff like that. Oh, I also got the new camera that I'd been wanting, but a way better model than I had been expecting, with better zooming capabilities and things like that.
My sister and BIL were here this past weekend and we opened gift with them on Saturday. Then we had Christmas eve with Rob's family and spent Christmas day here. It was really warm, like 45 degrees yesterday and my mom and I took the kids sledding. Here are some pics with my new camera of Christmas present opening and sledding:

Damn, I really need a new camera

Emma had her Christmas program at preschool today and I took some really shitty photos. They had the program in the sanctuary which is notoriously dark, plus I had a bad seat, so I had to zoom. So here are some grainy, zoomed, mega red-eyed photos of Emma singing Christmas songs.;)

Snowball fightin' with Geraldo

Christmas scrapbooking

We had our scrapbook group's Christmas party/crop yesterday. My secret Santa got me a bunch of stuff to do some basketball pages. Which is nice considering that both kids are playing basketball this year. I got all my pages completed and again, I'm caught up. ;) Guess I'll just have to be a little more camera happy for the holidays. Actually a new camera is on my list since my current one is 5 years old and in the digital world, that is ancient. At least they no longer cost $400 like they used to. Here are some pictures of some of the pages I did yesterday:

Santa x 2

I've got some kids with Santa pictures to post. The first one is of Emma and Kyle(who no longer believes in Santa and was really put out by having to pose with his sister) with one mall Santa and the second is Emma with from today with another mall Santa. Gee, can you tell which one was taken by a professional? I'll give you a hint, it's the one without the raging red eyes. ;)

Never trust a big butt and a smile

Ah, class of 1990. This one takes me back. ;)

Snow play

We got some snow today and here are some pics of the kids playing:

Dexter

I just got done watching season 1 of the Showtime show Dexter on DVD because, of course, we don't have Showtime. It was entertaining and he sure makes for an adorable serial killer. ;)
