Bowling

So for Christmas we got a Wii and it is really funny watching the boys try to play. Samuel gets frustrated really fast and wants to stop but he wants to continue playing as well. I have helped him some but he does not want any help. Andy on the other hand gets gets tired of it really fast and just stops playing. For Andy it is because his arms are not long enough and the sensor does not detect the movement as actual movement. and his hands are too small to press the A and B buttons. But he is getting there.

Anyway back to bowling. Samuel has become very good at bowling with a high score of 148 and average of around 120. He typically bowls spares every frame but the one problem he has is that he does not realize how the points add up and he typically only knocks down 3 to 4 on his first roll and then the rest on the second half of the frame.

But he has learned how to curve the ball or roll it straight when he wants it to, which is something I have not fully figured out yet.

Now Tennis is a nother story in itself. :o)

Stupid News

One of my favorite things to do is to find the stupid news story of the day and share it with my loving wife. Most of the stories are government funded research studies researching common sense things. Like did you know older people are more likely to get alstimers (or whatever it is called). Or how about people who save money spend less. And my favorite "Cancer Patients sick with another disease are less likely to survive than someone with just cancer."

Anyway with that I just thought I would share the stupid news of the day, it is a little different but with a little research you can see how stupid it is. The article is Airlines are expected to lose $5.6 Billion in 2010

What is not said is there are around 10.5 million domestic commercial flights a year in the US and that is not including all the international or other flights world wide (which totals around 30,000,000). With this said on average they are losing $186 per flight. I know with a $3 raise the majority of the people would not even notice since flight prices fluctuate so much and it would fix this problem.

Shoot I should go to work for the air line companies as a financial consultant.

School Play

Today is Samuel's big school play. The play is only an hour long :o( but I plan on getting it all on tape. Actually I do not know how long it is but the teacher was a little bit upset because they were having to cut it a little short due to the fact that there was something else going on at 6 pm for another group of kids. Oh well it will be great and I hope I do not forget to take the zoom off every now and then and get the rest of the class too.

Whenever we pick Samuel up from school I used to ask him what all he did but now every time before we can even get out of the class room he asks me what all we did while he was at school. He wants to know every minute detail down to the second of every little thing and if there seems to be too big of a gap or just does not sound right he will even ask "so what did you do between that." The problem is there is not a whole lot you can really do in 3 hours when you have a starving baby on your hands.

I also remember when I was younger my parents asking what I learned about during school and my answer was always "Nothing." Well when I ask Samuel he always replies back with EVERYTHING! but again like myself, he will not go into details.

Anyway I guess that is enough for now.
