zombie farm as life example.
#1 son had been playing zombie farm, it was a frequent meal topic. kat was the last person I would've thought to get caught up on a virtual farm game. now her tap ranch takes an increasing amount of time to tap-farm. she enjoys it, so I figured I'd see what this was all about. I figured it would be more fun if zombies and the eating of brains was part of my farm/ranch attempt.
so I started a zombie farm. then #1 son had a farming failure. he lost all his zombies and he had no gold. shortly after that setback, we got a call from his teacher. while she had admitted that he already knows everything on their curriculum for this year, he is still expected to be interested and behave like a gentleman.
so I confiscated his electronic devices. no ps3, no after school tv, no nintendo and no itouch/iphone.
while I had his device, I had a look around his farm. he had used all his gold to buy a bunch of decorative items that had no utilitarian zombiefarm value. he had invaded the farmer at early opportunities with the minimum amount of zombies.
he has been so good about not complaining about being bored, he has shown genuine remorse for annoying his teachers and classmates. so, I decided I would manage his farm while in my care. when I hand over control of his zombie farm tomorrow, it will have a full army of mutant zombies! some times you do get a second chance. I'm glad I can help my son along in life.
and his zombies are HUNGRY about brains.
we finally got to see the black angels! good show too! pics from iphone 3gs
my sister, her husband and their twin girls came to visit (nebraska football season)
we attempted a portrait. not easy to get one toddler to cooperate, two is near impossible.
they have found out about the ipad....
#2 son was comfortable navigating it right away, thrilled to find a giant iphone. #1 son is now trying to find a way to make some $ so that he can move into one.
I've started some of the bodywork on the van. the sun had punished the roof paint away. not a big problem in dry el paso, but in austin we need to cover any exposed bare metal to keep rust away. working from the top down. have also pounded out a few dents and got some new shoes for it too.
#2 son has added a new word to his vocabulary, "VANNNNNN!"
