Dinosaurs, Cats and Sushi

The other evening the boys were on the floor in the family playing with their Rocket Ship set they got at the Space Center. Mike was flipping channels and came across the Jurassic Park movie. Of course they start yelling, "stop it here daddy, we want to watch that dinosaur movie. We wont be scared, we already saw it at Uncle Owiees." (thanks bro) So we went ahead and left it on the movie. Within minutes Zachary got up, went into the playroom and grabbed his 2 dinosaur toys, a big green truck, and several dolls. He gave Caleb a dinosaur, and put the people in the truck and they both attacked the people with their dinosaurs. It just happened to be at the same part as in the movie where the kids and guys in the green jeep get attacked by the T-Rex. It was cracking us up!

Then while Zachary was attacking the people and the truck, Caleb started having his dino attack the jets and rocket ships. I don't think Mike and I watched the movie, we were too busy cracking up and watching the boys play. What fun they had! Mikey is SUCH the handy man! Our speakers were out in the Durango (it couldn't possibly be due to the loud music I listen to right?) So instead of taking it in and having someone else do it, costing several hundred dollars, he went to Best Buy and bought speakers for $35. Since they weren't 'Durango' ones, he couldn't just take out the old ones and plug in the new ones. So he drilled holes in the plates and put in screws with some special glue and fit them in himself! He is always amazing me with how he can fix almost anything he wants and is so creative about it as well. YOU ROCK MIKEY!! (and now I can rock out again! Thanks honey!)

Christina gave both cats a shower the other night. Don't they look so pleased? Mikey and I went out on Date Night a few nights ago. We went to our favorite local Sushi place. This is a baby octopus. He was yummy! This was our dessert. Extra shrimp heads and sea urchin. I don't think we had ordered the urchin before because it didn't look familiar to us. Oh wait, yes it did. It looked like cat throw up. Actually took us a min to decide to eat it! But it was pretty good. Christina has her modeling Expo tomorrow that I am taking her to, and Mikey plans on finally putting up the trampoline. We hadn't put it up since we weren't sure on what our plans with this house would be. We have decided to stay here at least one more year. Since I doubt the market will turn around enough for us to sell our house and buy/build what we want here. We probably have 2 more years here. We love our neighborhood and all the kids' close friends live nearby. Might as well get the trampoline up, and put in a small putting green for Caleb. We can do a few things that we want, as long as we can put it back the way it was. Which wont be a problem. You can buy sod anywhere! And I am going to continue adding to my garden. I have a tomato plant, rosemary, basil, catnip, mint, and parsley so far. They are doing good so far!
