Uhhhh.....Wow....

Uhhh, wow is right.....I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted anything so all I can say is just...wow.

I doubt that there is even anyone out there who still checks in and reads it after this length of activity. Oh, well..guess I can still ramble on whether anyone reads it or not...lol!

Obviously, I haven't shared any pics of kids at Christmas....or anything else for that matter!

Here is Savy with her "twinn" that she got for Christmas. It is actually designed to look like her! When it is ordered you can chose hair, eye and skin color...hair length and style.....and even....get this.....you can send pictures and draw in where they have freckles, moles, etc!

Pretty cool, huh! She loves her and takes her everywhere!

Dax's main Christmas was a train table. That little boy is obsessed with trains! He got the biggest old smile on his little face when he saw it!

Lots of fun and family over the holidays, but feels kind of weird telling about all the holiday festivities at this late date!

I have a confession to make too...I've fallen and I can't get out....lol.....of the video game black hole! I have never.....ever....honestly....been remotely interested in video games, computer games...nothing of that sort. In fact, I used to tell all my sons-in-law that play them constantly that they were just big ole kids and needed to grow up....(in a loving way, of course :-)....but I did feel that way....that it is just a collosal waste of time!

Well....we were convinced by said kids and spouses that we needed to get a Wii system....specifically to obtain the Wii Fit game.....for our health, you know...!!! I am not an exercise type of girl....at all....I know, I know....we need to exercise for our health....but I hate it! We all figured that making the effort into a game, so to speak, that I might enjoy it more....so we did it. Well, they were right.....I do enjoy the Wii Fit and actually use it....and we really like the Dancing with the Stars game....actually gets our heart rate up and everything! So far, so good, right? Well.....That was all well and good....until I got this for Christmas

It's insane, it's ridiculous, it's addicting.....and I can't quit playing the stupid thing! Then I got another one called Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility....OMG....between the two I never get anything done....it's EVIL....lol! I only knit a couple of hours during prime time watching tv with DH.....and I have managed (barely) to keep him fed and the laundry done....but these horrible games have taken over my life...lol!!! I have managed to finish a couple of knitting projects, believe it or not....but haven't gotten around to taking pics yet. Anyway...hoping when the new wears off of these silly things......

Lots more to tell - talk about but kids are on the way over so I need to scoot!
