Play Palin Bingo

Posted on October 1, 2008 10:27 pm by TheAngelForever

Whether you are a fan of Sarah Palin or not, almost everyone is watching her every move and listening to the words that come out of her mouth. Thanks to this, a record number of people are likely going to watch the Vice Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin tomorrow evening.

JL and I were talking. We had so much fun with the Obama and McCain debate that we wanted to do something special for this BIG debate between the VP candidates. Many people have mentioned drinking games, but well we do not drink. We wanted something family friendly that anyone could play along if they wanted to.

I started thinking about Palin Bingo. We could use some of Governor Palin’s catch phrases/words from the last few weeks. The best part, JL is a webmaster and can code anything. This afternoon we sat and laughed our rears off making a list of 73 items to include on our Palin Bingo boards.

Tonight while watching Pushing Daisies and Private Practice, JL sat and coded a Palin Bingo game for all to play tomorrow night. Heck, you could technically play it any time you see Sarah Palin on television, hear her on the radio, or even see Tina Fey impersonating her.

May I present you with a sample TheAngelForever and TechyDad’s Palin Bingo:

Did that get your attention? I figured it may. If you would like to play along JL, aka TechyDad, has written a script to allow you to generate your own Palin Bingo. All you have to do it head on over to his blog and click on the link. Once there all you have to do is refresh the page and new Palin Bingo cards will be generated for you to print out to play a fun family friendly game while watching Thursday’s debate.

Have fun!

Ready for the bobsled team

Posted on September 23, 2008 8:50 am by TheAngelForever

Think back to your childhood for a minute. Did you like to go on amusement park rides? If you did were you more of a merry-go-round kind of kid, or did you like the thrills of any or all fast moving rides?

Saturday at Six Flags we quickly confirmed that NHL is into thrills. He was disappointed that he was not allowed onto two rides that were interesting to him (you had to be 48 inches tall), but quickly found one that was his absolute favorite by the end of the day.

After leaving Wiggles World for the first time, I convinced both of the boys to go with me on the Alpine Bobsled ride. JL was not too sure about this, but I promised him it was a very fast yet controlled ride. The boys agreed and we went onto the ride in seconds since there was absolutely no line.

Both of the boys were pleasantly surprised with the ride. NHL actually asked to go back on it immediately. JL took him on this time and I caught up with them for some photos. Here are NHL and JL in the Team USA bobsled. NHL was not looking at the camera since he was paying attention to the bobsled ahead of them.

Next they come around to check and make sure the bars are in place and locked correctly.

Then you wait for your bobsled to head up the hill of the track.

Here are the boys on the last turn of the journey.

Can you tell they like it? Oh wait, perhaps you can not see NHL since he is a little low in the bobsled (you can barely see the top of his head). Still you can tell JL’s response. This is just before coming back to the station.

NHL adored this ride and went on it four times during our day at the park. In fact at one point when we offered to go back to Wiggles World he said "No Mommy, it’s boring there I want to go on the Bobsled!"

LOL – that’s my boy!

Birthday balloon crown for Mimi

Posted on September 8, 2008 9:07 am by TheAngelForever

Today is a special day, it is Mimi’s birthday.

Happy Birthday Mimi!!!!

As I have mentioned before, my boys are extremely close to my grandmother. They see her as often as possible, love to visit her apartment to have chicken soup with matzoh balls (and other goodies), and more important to play and snuggle with her. JSL still loves to sit on her lap where she will sing him to sleep.

Yesterday night we went out to dinner to celebrate Mimi’s birthday. Much to our surprise there was a special someone at the restaurant. It was none other than Mr. Twisty!

When Mr. Twisty heard that it was Mimi’s birthday he was very careful not to ruin the secret. He did not want to bother other people at the restaurant, so he made her a very small birthday crown. Here it is on Mimi’s head.

We all had a lot of laughs thanks to Mr. Twisty. He also made something special for NHL. NHL did not even need to hear the list of possible balloon creation. He immediately asked for a lion. ROAR!

After our delicious meal (thank you Aunt S and Uncle M) we decided to order some cotton candy. I was convinced to let JSL try some of it. At first he did not want anything to do with it, he simply played. Check out what he created.

Unfortunately for us, he soon discovered that the cotton candy was sweet and enjoyed it. Needless to say he was up quite late last night. Apparently the sugar rush got him, but not NHL. Here are both of the boys enjoying.

We all want to wish Mimi a wonderful birthday. We are so glad that you live so close by. The boys and I love spending time with you. We hope to make many more special memories together for years to come.

We love you Mimi!

Wordless Wednesday – Got books?

Posted on August 27, 2008 12:05 am by TheAngelForever

FYI – The crib library was thanks to big brother. Mommy asked him to give the little guy a book since he was asking for one after waking up from a nap. I guess next time I will mention a specific quantity!

Introducing Sparky

Posted on August 14, 2008 7:36 am by TheAngelForever

Did you know that static electricity is quite entertaining? Seriously, it is!

Sunday we went to a local place to celebrate NHL’s birthday with a friend (think Chuck E Cheese with amusement park rides – inside). At one point NHL decided that he wanted to go on the indoor playground. JL thought it would be fun to follow NHL up and take photos of him inside. I went to watch them come down the big slide.

As JL was flying down at me I noticed something. He had sparks flying out of his pants. Yes, the static electricity was quite evident not only thanks to visible sparks, but also the snapping sound that accompanies it.

The little guy soon wanted to join Daddy and big brother in the fun. This meant that I took over control of the camera. I opted to do a video. When we arrived home we decided to check out the photos and videos. Sure enough, we were able to see and hear the static electricity on JL’s pants!

NHL thought it was hilarious and wanted to see it over and over. "Make Daddy go back up the slide and down!"

Who knew?! Here is the video so you can witness the wonders of static electricity yourself.

Later on JL was talking to Laura on the phone and told her about the video. She immediately gave him a new nickname –> Sparky! So please help me to welcome hubby’s new nickname.
