There is never a dull moment in our household. Everyday is an adventure . . .
Ben was invited to a birthday party for a girl in his class. We are so used to having to deal with boys, it was a shock to the system to walk through the “Pink Aisles” in the toy department. I don’t think Ben and Andrew were too thrilled, especially since we had to walk past the Lego, Star Wars, Transformers, and Hot Wheel aisles to get to the Polly Pocket/Barbie section. That is... 
Andrew has developed into quite the gamer. He amazes Mom and Dad with his game playing ability. His favorite games are the Lego series . . . Lego Star Wars, Lego Indian Jones and Lego Batman. He takes his gaming seriously and is definitely a back-seat gamer.

I wish we had a chance to record this so you could have heard it rather than read about it. I’ll do my best to describe it . . .
In the morning, Ben and Andrew were hanging out in their bedroom. They were bored so decided to make a fort out of their blankets on the bunk bed. Proud of their efforts, Andrew came in to tell Mom and Dad about it. From a previous experience, Dad was a bit nervous...
