Imitation

I like to chronicle some of the things my kids say and do. They give me a lot of material. And yes, I don't always remember to write them down. Unfortunately, some can't be shared, due to the nature of the topic... (and to keep us all from embarrassment)

The other day, I decided to write one of the funny moments as a comic strip (I do this from time to time). Well, that got the kids excited, and they decided to be creative too. Yup... it sure makes me a proud daddy to watch them try to imitate me!

Homemade Slushy!

The other day I came home and was craving a nice cool drink. After using the blender for several days to make fruit drinks, I decided to try and make something for the kids and I. A challenge!

I took kool-aid, ice cubes, and snow-cone syrup.... put them into the blender, and made a nice cool slushy! Tastes just like what you'd get at the convenience store! Yum!

Both Mysia and Malachi liked it too! ('Awesome Daddy' points!)

Now I'll have to figure out how to make a frozen coke or Dr. Pepper.................... ;)

Tech: "Draw Something' App

I’m addicted to a game on my iPhone. I’ll admit that I don’t play on it as my friends, but I sure do enjoy it!

The game is called “Draw Something”, and due to the fact that it encourages you to be creative and draw a word for your friends to guess, it makes it a game that is very appealing to me. It’s similar to “Pictionary” and “Win, Lose, Or Draw”, but you don’t really lose. A very popular social drawing and guessing game where the goal is to keep the rounds going!

I don’t really have any complaints with the game in itself. However, I do get upset with others when they don’t ‘draw’. I’ve had friends who just write hints, or even the word itself!!! Huh? Come on! If you can’t draw the word... don’t pick it. I'm often tempted to go ahead and skip the round if an opponent does that to me.

Anyway, if you like playing the game and up to a fun challenge, look for me! I’m on through facebook.
