Showing the Boy how it’s done.
Wii had a great Christmas. There were no major meltdowns had by anyone and no awkward and embarrassing moments while doing the rounds with all the parents. I consider this a great success. Wii got a Wii for Christmas. Or, technically the Boy did, but the Transformers game showed up in my stocking and a controller and nunchuck add-on showed up in B’s stocking and we told him that they showed up in our stockings so we would all share the Wii.?It all?worked out fine. He wouldn’t have had any qualms in sharing it with us anyway, because he likes playing video games with us. But it never hurts to drive home the?Theory of Sharing? every now and then, especially at Christmas. What I do not have pictures of, but what will eventually end up on YouTube, I’m sure, is video footage?of B and his brother boxing on the Wii. Two more unboxer-like moving people will you ever see. It was entertaining, to say the least.
B and I originally weren’t going to exchange gifts, but when we were out doing some shopping at Target, there were a few things we ended up picking up for each other. He got a brand new electric razor that he DESPERATELY needed (his old one had a crack in the casing that leaked hair EVERYWHERE).?I told him he would ruin Christmas if he did not pick it up and put it in the basket RIGHT THIS INSTANT. So he got a new razor for Christmas. Of course, my husband is not one to be outdone, so he went back to Target a few days later?without me and got me the sewing machine I have been coveting. Of course, I had already beat it out of him prior to his going just exactly what the intended nature of his visit to Target was. Despite that,?I was still happy and surprised when he brought it home.
And no, I haven’t actually used it yet, but it is out of the box and on the dining room table. I’ve read through the directions a few times, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Oh, and I went to Wal-Mart and got a few yards of fabric to attempt sewing on my brand new sewing machine. But to tell you the truth? I’m a little scared of it.
I mean, I know THIS much about sewing: [crickets]
Yeah, that would be nothing. But I am excited and I’m hoping to at least get the bobbins threaded this evening. We’ll see what happens from there.
I hope you all had a great Tuesday off and enjoyed it however you saw fit.
I heart B’s pants!
And my brand spanking new sewing machine that I got LAST year is still Brand Spanking New. Oy.
Wii got a game for our wii. The Godfather. It was actually for my husband from my parents, but everyone got a kick out of watching him kick mobster a$$.
The wii rocks, btw!
Oh, yeah, there is a video but the other B is apparently in the witness protection program and REFUSES to have his pic on the internet. Too bad.
PS- your dog is a nympho.
Why does B look like he’s trying to make the boy move with the remote thingy?
Hey, If *I* can sew, so can you. I hope you enjoy your new machine.
