so what's happening?

howdy?

i bet no one even reads (or checks) this lil' blog, since i've been so remiss.

for that i apologize....



so latley....much has happened. hence, no blogging time!



i'll date back to christmas! (how sad is that!)


december-great family time! did the crazy family marathon....saw everyone...had a wonderful time! the children of the corn got so many great gifts! it even snowed on christmas eve...and it stuck! a good six inches! it felt like a BLIZZARD leaving mass on christmas eve!

january-more snow. seriously.



february-little mama turned five. great family party, first preschool party! gymnastics! had a great time! then, more snow. really. see pic below...got something like 16 inches of snow....global warming my patoot! then sweetpea turned one at the end of the month.





march-the boy started soccer for the first time! go coyotes! spring break came and went in a flash! sweetpea started to walk and talk (a bit for her age...."ba" (bottle), "whoa", "bubbles", "bite", "bobo")



april-whew! caught up! little mama is playing tball (go rangers). easter was crazy and wonderful...and if anyone needs any candy, i am your hook-up! now we are just waiting for school to let out, there are some wonderful things to come! oh, and little mama got accepted to st. pats for kindergarden next year! so we are just going along!



i will try to keep up better in the future....six months of catch-up in one post is just embarassing!

facebook has taken over....

its not that i don't love my blog. or that i won't ever post here anymore. its just hard to keep up with FB and a blog....and all the other stuff in our life right now!

sooooo....i will try to do better about posting more stuff on here. really. but in the meantime...if you really want to know and see, what's up....catch me on FB too.

esp. if you are my lil' brother....hahaha!

what's old is new...and apparently cool....

first, sorry i haven't posted in a while. three kids, full time house, full time job....excuses, excuses....

so the other day the family and i were at the mall. we were taking daddy shopping for his birthday presents. (see, this lack of planning and extra time extends in to all parts of my life...not just the blog) anyways, little mama and the boy are HUGE fans of where the wild things are. not just b/c of the movie, but because they love the story. but they had this really cool set up of WTWTA merchandise and dolls etc. in the window at urban outfitters. so we went in. all this leads up to the title of the post...

apparently, my past (and that of all you thirtysomethings) is already coming back to haunt us....

in the mens t-shirt section we encountered shirts like these:

yes, thats right, cobra (of g. i. joe fame) and gizmo!

oh wait, there's more.....

Teenage Muntat Ninga turtles....heros on the half shell...turtle power! Ok, the GI Joe movie just came out, so I can see that. And Gizmo, well, that's almost a cult movie. But really, there was not much redeeming value in any of the TMNT cartoons or movies.....

And then we saw this.....

and i knew. I knew there was no WAY anyone who wasn't actually a child of the 80's bothered with the thundercats....nope. And also given that early to mid-30's is not exactly the demographic that urban outfitters is shooting for, I had my worst fears confirmed. The 80s are becoming a trend, a retrp-trend. Which may make me count as "old" more than any numerical indicator could.

And if I was still uncertian....the look that the young hipster boys in the pencil-thin, acid-wash jeans were giving husband and I was we remembered the shows from the various shirts was the final nail in my "cool" coffin.

Oh well, one less thing to worry about! Ha!
