The Moment That Was!

Andrew recently had a day off from school. A few of the parents got together and decided to send the kids to Science World. Great idea!! I'll send my Andrew and my husband, he can take the day off and capture some special "kodak" moments of Andrew that we can then cherish forever and ever!

Guess who forgot to bring a camera? Also, just a reminder for those people who keep their cell phones in their pockets and occasionally uses them when they are in need of a camera, it may be a good idea to check that there isn't a build-up of lint over the lens.

Anyways, the only picture with any clarity whatsoever was this one of Andrew's school friends. There are (from left to right)....Anne, Claudia and Aza. Claudia normally doesn't look like this, I think her mom may have given her one too many coffees that day.

Nintendo DS Rules for Parents

If you are thinking of getting your kids a Nintendo DS, consider as we did, setting strict rules so they know what to expect. The rule around our house is that the game is to be played only on weekends and, for short periods of time. We have since modified the aforementioned to reflect the reality of raising our particular boys.

Please feel free to adopt our ideas to your unique family situation accordingly.

*** Nintendo DS is to be played on weekends only***

Exceptions to the rule are as follows:

1) We will allow additional time as a form of bribery to get them to do things.

2) When the parents want to sleep-in on weekends, they can help themselves to the game unit without waking us up. Usually a grunt will authorized DS time.

3) If mom or dad wants to watch tv in peace, go quietly to the next room with the game unit.

4) If the kids are talking too much during a family drive, the DS units are to be distributed.

5) Being quiet at a restaurant is rewarded with extra DS time. Letting mom and dad enjoy their meal may get you a Wii!
