The first post...

Well it seems that the rest of the world has a blog, so why not me? Although I will admit, this is much more for me to ramble on than it is for anyone to actually read. I guess it's more of a diary of sorts with which to express myself.



As April is turning out to be a rather properous month for us, yes even amid this financial climate, we decided that last night was "treat night" for us all and headed out the door to do a little shopping.



First stop was for Jason. His beloved and ancient Bulova wind-up watch had broken again and we were off to get it fixed again. Due to it's age and quality, we found it would cost more to fix than to purchase a new one, especially with the sales going on these days. So Jason got a new watch. Similar to a kinetic watch, but instead you tap it twice each morning to keep it running. He's pretty thrilled with it!



Next stop...toy store! The kids got new Webkinz. Pink Poodle named Daisy for Emily and a Turtle name Thupy (sp?) for Ben.



Then it was dinner. Chinese for Em and me. McDonald's for Ben (so he could get a Monsters vs. Alien toy) and some REALLY horrible pizza for Jason. He took one bite and couldn't eat the rest. Do not worry though, he got something else to eat later!



Now off to my get my "treat". To my very favourite store...Big Al's Aquariums. Man, I LOVE that place! It was a great day to go too, as it was shark feeding night. More about this in my next post!
