Sean’s parents gave us a very nice (and big) bottle of beer about two years ago. They got it while traveling somewhere and Sean and I decided we would save it for something special. So, we have sold our house, settled into this one and everyone is finally healthy again. (Knock on wood.) So we decided to break it open tonight. We shouldn’t have waited. This beer has been sitting around for so long, we had put so much pressure on this beer to be really good, that we were a bit disappointed. It was okay, but it was REALLY bubbly and was a bit like beer mixed with a wine cooler…not necessarily a good combo.

Liam has discovered Pokemon. Need I say more? I just hope and pray that this is not his next phase. I can handle Star Wars. I even made it through his long and drawn out (and rather intense) love of Thomas and Friends, but I don’t know if I can handle Pokemon. Really. He got two Pokemon books at the book fair this week and the whole Pokemon thing just seems mind numbing. Ugh.
We have birthdays aplenty around here this weekend. It is Shannon’s birthday (Sean’s sister), Sean’s birthday, Sean’s grandma’s birthday and Liam has a friend’s birthday party to go to, also. On top of all of that, my sister-in-law (also on Sean’s side of the family) had her baby shower today. The shower was great and a lot of people were able to make it. We had a yummy lunch and Holley got a lot of essentials for little Finnegan.
Liam asked us today if he could have a personal watercraft when he gets a little bit older.
Where did this come from? He was reading his Spanish/English dictionary in the car and I guess that was one of the words. I think our response was to say sure. There is no point in having the conversation at this point. We’ll just say yes and hope he forgets, which he won’t, but , again, there is no point in arguing about it right now either.
Another interesting thing he asked me recently while I was driving and he was reading in the back was if he could do marital arts. My first reaction was to see what in the world he was reading and to try and figure out what marital arts were. It turned out he wanted to do tae kwon do…martial arts….much better.
