Angry Birds in Seattle!!!




Andrew was so excited yesterday for the new Angry Birds game to be available. Then we learned the Space Needle was involved. 

This morning on the news I saw them talk about how they were setting up an Angry Bird off the side of the Space Needle. So Cool!  Our Space Needle is so Famous! Seattle is really the place that everyone wants to be involved with. It seems to pop up everywhere.  

Can you say Field Trip?  

I picked up Andrew from school and then we zoomed over to Seattle to see it for our selves!  We had to buy the T-shirt also. :-)  

We had a great time. When we were in the gift shop we heard tourist saying "What is Angry Birds?". Then the sales people had to tell them about it. Where have they been?  Under a rock?  Duh?

Sandy in a Box

Sandy got stuck in a box a couple of months ago. It was pretty funny. She likes to go into Andrew's room and get into the tissue's that he keeps by his bed. Well it back fired this time. We heard this noise during dinner, like a box being thrown around. It was weird. Then we saw her coming down the hallway with a box on her head.

Great time to video for sure. Don't worry No One was hurt during this filming. We were scarred a little bit if you know Sandy. She can turn on you pretty quick. :-)  Enjoy!


Shopping for a Mattress

Getting a new mattress is hard work! 

Gary and I have been looking around for a long time for a new mattress. But spending that kind of money is pretty hard for Gary. (I seem to be fine with it :-) 

We made at least 5 trips to Macy's to try them all out. We were really tied between two brands. Gary spent hours in research on line. In the end price got us. We went with the cheaper of the two. But Cheap is not the right word to use for sure. 

Delivery day was delayed a couple of weeks because of snow. But it finally came!  It looked great!  But when I tried it out.....hard as a rock! I tried walking on it and jumping on it. We gave it a week and Ugh....no such luck. It never really softened that much. We should have gone with our first instinct. 

I arranged to have it returned and upgraded to our new Tempurpedic!   It could not arrive fast enough for us. So happy when I saw the Red Truck return to take us out of our suffering! 

We are very happy to have our new mattress all installed and it is Awesome! I recommend it to anyone who really wants to sleep all night in comfort!  I just love it. Yeah!  I don't have any more back aches! 





The Egg Experiment

Andrew has been reading a book all about things a boy should know growing up. He has really been enjoying it. It seems that we are not teaching him everything. Darn...how did I know that was going to happen. Good thing he is reading the book.

He learned that you could get an egg sucked into a glass bottle. I seem to remember this, but I am not a boy so I did not pass it on to him. Well here is how the experiment went. I think it was a success. :-)

Tiff and Nat were here for the event also. Not that they need to learn this, as they are girls.
