Blinds and Children

A little over a year ago the boys lost their blinds. I don’t mean they misplaced them, but rather that they lost the “luxury” of having them. I never thought of blinds as a luxury, but I changed my mind after replacing them five or six times a year for several years.

Today they finally earned them back. It was a combination of them going to sleep on time and them treating their belongings with respect. Let’s hope that this time around they do much better or they may lose them for another year.

Random Pictures

I was getting the camera ready for vacation and took some candid photos of the boys.

First Visit from the Tooth Fairy

Tony lost his first tooth this morning. It has been loose for a couple of days, but he would not let us pull it the rest of the way out. He woke up early and ran downstairs when he realized that it fell out.

What is the going rate for a first tooth these days?

A New Toy

My cell phone contract was up not too long ago and I wanted a smart phone, so I decided to splurge and purchase iPhones for Me and Beth. I have always had a very basic phone, so this is quite a change for me. I have been quite addicted to twitter on this thing.

So I downloaded the wordpress application and am giving it a run for its money. Maybe I can turn some of my down time into some quality blogging time.

WordPress Nightlies

I have been running the nightly versions of WordPress for a while. I have not run into hardly any issues until a few weeks ago. After an upgrade, I could not access the admin area.

I figured that I would clean it up in time, but then i started getting seriously spammed, and had to clean that up. So, for now, there are no plugins running on this site, since they were causing the issue.

And the spam is all gone.

House for Sale

We put our condo back on the market, with a new realtor. Our last experience left a lot to be desired and the thought of someone “earning” a commission on doing nothing more that listing the property on the MLS really ticks me off.

The down side of course is trying to keep this place clean with two kids, two cats and wife who works full time and goes to school part time. We enjoyed taking a couple months off of the constant tidying, but it will be nice to have a super-clean house again.

So, if you know anyone looking for a condo with three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms in decent schools give me buzz!

New Theme

Well, it isn’t a new theme, but it is certainly new to me. Please pardon any bugs or formatting issues. I have always used very customized themes, so using an “out of the box” theme will take some getting used to.

Little Drummer Boy

We received Beatles Rock Band as a Christmas gift. I must admit that it is truly fun for the whole family. I have never seen RJ concentrate so much. He even had his tongue hanging out of his mouth.
