The pulse in the house...

The pulse in the house is weird. Everyone is tired and/or sick. We haven't done a whole lot as a family just so we can maximize rest and relaxation. It hasn't always worked out that way. Little one's needs don't necessarily fall into rest and relaxation. They tend to fall into that "I want to cling to you! Give me your attention!" type mode.

Observation: CamMad doesn't have a lot of hand-eye coordination. Yes, they are still young and they will cultivate that skill over the next few years but it is funny watching them play video games. Child1 is very kinesthetic with the game controller. If the child needs to move the character to the left, the child and the controller move to the left. Watching them play Cars (a lot like Pole Position of the 80's and early 90's) is the funniest. They still don't get the concept of winning so they are having a grand ol' time when the cars go off the track or run into things. I'm glad they don't have their license!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night the 'rents finally got their first crack at the PS3 without the kids getting in the way. We played Tiger Woods Golf and had fun. Parent2 won the skins match (due to the fact the character was a pro and I'm building a character) but it was nice to do it without the constant distraction children may cause.

In some ways I'm looking forward to the long weekend more than I did for the vacation week. Number 1 reason: NO PLANS except for the Patriots game on Sunday afternoon!!

Have a great Thursday everyone!
