playing pirate

He got two pirate ships for Christmas, to add to the one he already has.  He plays with each one, and occassionally, his sister joins in the fray.  He really likes playing with his pirates!

Yesterday was a tough day for the little man.  On the way to see family he started complaining that his tummy hurt, then he started crying, and…yeah.  At least he had a blanket on his lap, but stil he got his coat and his clothes.  We turned around and headed back home, missing his cousin’s 18th birthday party.  We were disappointed to be missing it, but knew that was the best course of action even though Kailan was crying about not going. 🙁

The goals are going well so far this year, too.  I actually got on the elliptical three times last week, and two the week before.  I feel better for it, too, so I hope I can keep it up.  I also have been doing well at the menu plans and have stayed on track for the most part.  As for the rest, well, I veered into an Archivers scrapbooking store once last week and my eyes glazed over and my wallet opened.  I hate it when it does that all on its own with nary an ounce of encouragement from me.  Darn little bugger. 😉
