Right before bed last night, Billy asked for me to get him something. I forget what he wanted, actually...but that is not the point of the story. (another new Nerf gun, I suppose. How is it possible that we do not have them all by now????) I told him no, to which he whined for a minute. JJ walked in and responded, 'Oh, yeah Billy, well I want a full-scale model of Disney Land......so I guess were are both nothing but a dreamer!"
I know he is mine so I am biased, but that kid is funny!

Happy (Chinese) New Year!
We celebrated the Lunar New Year on Saturday. That is what the Chinese New Year is...the lunar (ours is the calender, I guess) Billy told us all about it!
To celebrate, we ate dinner with chopsticks (which the boys now say they want to do with each meal), had fortune cookies (of which Jessie tried to steal from everyone!) and played Chinese checkers. I am not even sure why anyone else still agrees to play me, since I am undefeated and the undisputed champ!
Then we read what our zodiac signs were, and it was very funny! Some of the descriptions were right on.....and some were completely wrong. Billy's was the most close, and I hope mine was the most off.
Billy - Horse (proud, leader, argumentative and bull headed!)
JJ - Roster (clean, neat, vain, concerned about outward appearance, popular)
Mickey - Tiger (Maniacal, mean, organized, punctual)
Minnie - Pig (lazy, fat, slovenly....but well liked!)
We even did Jessie....she is a rabbit. We will have to wait until next year to see if the description fully matches her personality!

Pinewood Derby
The best night of the year for Cub Scouts.
Both boys made it to the winners bracket before being eliminated (and luckily they never had to race!) And great fun was had by all.
Plus, don't they just look so handsome in their uniforms?
A new adventure....
Snowboarding. We live so close to the mountains, we thought it would be important for the boys to have exposure to snow sports....they have chosen Snowboarding. Billy is in his second year of lessons....and JJ just his first. They are both picking it up pretty quickly...and are having a great time learning!
Apparently in this weeks lesson, they will 'graduate' from the bunny slopes and take the lifts up the mountain. Stay tuned for that report!
