Monday, monday…

I am deciding today was a total wash. There was nothing spectacular that went wrong, just lots of little things went awry, got broken and my shoulder is throbbing for the third day in a row. Coupled with my crampy lower back pain and the fact that my husband is ill and I’m just a certifiable hot mess today. It’s only 10 pm, but I’m calling it a day.

First Communions and busted ankles

May 27th, 2008 by Karen

This past weekend was eventful to say the least! On Sunday, Maria and her classmates received their First Communion at the 9am Mass and it was absolutely beautiful.

The only drawback to the day was I really tweaked my ankle cleaning house on Saturday in preparation for house guests.  I won’t go into the details because it makes me cringe just thinking about it, but suffice it to say, I am now best friends with a bag of frozen peas and an ace bandage.

Sigh. My middle name should have been Grace.

My son, the Jedi Master

March 10th, 2008 by Karen

About six months ago Joel won a Xbox from Microsoft at eComXpo. We’ve got it set up and the kids enjoy playing the little arcade games and the demos. We have Viva Pinata, but it’s a bit beyond them still.

About a week ago, Alex discovered that he really liked the LEGO Star Wars II demo on the xBox. No, I take that back, he doesn’t like it…he LOVES it. And he’s amazingly good at it. Joel and I have played it several times, but Alex has found secret areas we didn’t even know existed.

So, today I was out and about and saw the Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga in Target. I couldn’t resist and bought it. We had such a fabulous time this afternoon playing multiplayer on it…the whole family got involved and we just had a blast. Alex also played by himself for a bit and did great…not bad for a four year old that can’t even read all the directions!
