Randoms

Just a quick list of the goings-on 'round here lately:

Ella is now jumping on the Star Wars bandwagon - she can be heard humming the Emperor's Theme anywhere the feeling takes over - say, getting dressed for dance class at the community center.

Ben has added a few more songs to his repertoire - a Boba Fett rap, Bananaphone, Peanut Butter Jelly Time (all from YouTube, of course!)

Apparently Ben also has a thing for ACDC. "TNT" came on the radio last week and he exclaimed, "I LOVE this song!" He has some friends at school who introduced him to the song. Who knew ACDC had such a strong 5-year-old fanbase??

We booked a spring break trip to Mexico - specifically, this resort. The kids already know, and Ben is constantly asking if it's March 27th yet! It's going to be a long two months...

The Olympic medals were at the Mint on Saturday, so we went to take a peek. Over two hours later, we finally got that peek! They are very, very nice. The kids weren't blown away or anything, but how often in your life do you get to be that close to them?

Some friends and I did a big batch cook on Sunday - so I came out with 28 meals, for approx. $230. Sweet deal! It was fun - tiring, being on your feet all afternoon - but we enjoyed it. I'm hoping that the kids will actually eat some of them too! ;)

If the kids have a weird Star Wars obsession then the whole family should check out the video at this link. Gord, see if you can recognize the music...
