It's Time for Some Friday Randomness!

Another week, another cold, I am beyond ready for Spring.  It's March now (and almost my birthday!) bring on the nicer weather!  This winter has been a bit rough illness wise, it seems like as soon as we get over one thing we catch another bug.  I'm coming down with another cold, and poor Oliver still has a pretty awful sounding lingering cough from his cold.

Right now John is playing to new Need for Speed video game and it looks like a lot of fun!  I may actually have to try it out.  It's not terribly often that I find a game that I really like.    It's been a long time, but I really enjoy the Burnout series.  I have a frightening fondness for their crash mode, where your goal is to cause the most destruction possible.   And I am good at it too, which makes it that much more scary.

I feel like I am having some sort of blogger's bloc.  The craziness of the holidays has past and now it's just cold and boring outside.  We haven't spent a lot of time out of the house this winter because of our pretty constant state of illnesses.  We did have an appointment on Wednesday morning, after which we all went out to lunch at a local bbq joint.  It was super yummy and nice to have lunch out together.  The boys enjoyed it a lot too; I don't know why I'm constantly surprised at all the different foods they enjoy.   This weekend we plan on going out to get some more fish for our new fish tank.  I think the boys will be pretty excited about that.

The boys are getting so big I can't believe it!  Last weekend we got them haircuts and they look so much older now.  Where did my little babies go???  Oliver has hair a lot like John's, it sticks up straight in places and pretty much does whatever it wants.  So we decided to cut his hair really short.  The lady used the electric clippers for pretty much his whole haircut and he was NOT a happy camper.  She used scissors mainly for Owynn's haircut and he did an awesome job.

I plan on downloading a bunch of pictures that I've taken lately to my computer this weekend.  Hopefully I'll get some decent blog posts with some pictures together this weekend.  You know if I don't feel like I want to keel over because of this cold.

How Do I Not Remember Buying That???

Today while cleaning I came across DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) for the 360 (XBox) sitting at the top of one of our closets.  Since it's almost Christmas my thought process went something like this.  "Am I supposed to see this?"
"Wait, we don't have any money, how would John have bought this for me?"
"If he didn't buy it for me for Christmas, just how long have we owned this?!"
"Why can't I remember buying this???"
"Has this really been sitting at the top of the closet since we moved in?" (Which by the way was a year ago. Have I mentioned I am also not the most observant person?) 
I then found the game portion of it open and on the video game shelf (the dance pad was in the closet).  "Huh, apparently we have had it for awhile."

I told John he could have wrapped it up for Christmas and I would have never known.  Really though, how do I not remember having this?!?  When John traded in his original XBox and everything that went along with it, including my beloved DDR game (ok maybe I didn't play it as much as I should have, but still) I made a BIG deal about making sure he replaced it for me on his new (at that point) 360.  Which makes it even more baffling to me that I can't remember him buying this for me.  Like I know my memory isn't always the greatest (I blame hereditary for that), but really, why can't I remember this???  I am very excited that I stumbled upon this, now I just need to find some time to play.  I would have today during nap time, but I caught a cold from the boys and I feel like total crap.
