Today has been a fun day for Michael!

He did go to school today but got to get out early!

Directly after getting out of school - he went to have lunch with his mom and dad at Ci-Ci's Pizza buffet!

Went shopping with his mom - and got a Kite and some new additions to the family!

We went to test fly the kite which was shaped like a fish...and the wind picked up a little too strong and Michael didnt have a tight enough grip and the kite flew allllll the way up to the roof of the apartment building and wrapped around the chimmney and got stuck. It did still continue to fly in the wind a good amount of time - it was still flying around when we decided it was time to go home. Michael was heart broken about his kite...but I let him know we would get him a new one tomorrow :)

Now on to our new additions...we call them; Stripie...Orange Slice and Doriee!

Meet the new additions!

I am not sure if you can see all three - it took a lot to get a pic of them not floating around....and Notice Yoshi and Goomba in the tank as well LOL

It's Golf Time!

I just signed Michael up for golf! I am super excited to tell him when he gets home from school!
He has been asking me for a long time to sign him up, we have signed him up for soccer and basketball...but he didnt seem to like those. Continues to want to play golf...the places I have been looking into seemed a bit pricey or just no luck at all...until today!
I called Hank Haney to just check on pricing...they have a beginners Sunday clinic which is 1 hour every Sunday. The lady I spoke to told me that some kids that come into it are naturals, and some it will take a month or so of practicing every Sunday until they get it. It will only cost $20 each Sunday clinic! That isnt bad at all! They then evaluate the kids to see if they are ready to go to the next level (which I forgot the name she called it) on that they start to actually really play and can do competitions. And that upon the evaluation on if he can go to it or not will only be $250 a month!
I am praying this is Michael's "thing" since he shows such a strong intrest in it...and wants to pick up a golf club everytime he sees one.
I really believe in my heart that Michael's want to play golf may stem from when we lived back in VA and Mike would take Michael and me along when he played golf or went to the driving range. I am praying that Michael actually will enjoy golf and want to look forward to going to his lessons.

**Update - I let Michael know today when I picked him up from school that he is signed up for golf lessons and he is thrilled! His first lesson is on Sunday!**

Michael's Dentist Appointment

Well Michael's 6 month check up at the dentist was yesterday he was very scared to go (I guess he was remembering back when he needed to get fillings and the pain it was) I let him know it would be fine and it was! He was in there for about 5 minutes, enough to check his teeth and clean them and do a floride treatment.
However we do neeed to schedule another appointment for him because apparently the back filling that he has needs to be re-done. Also we just found out that his 6-7 year old teeth are coming in wayyyy in the back. He has not complained of pain in his mouth yet but it is just now breaking through the gums.
I wasnt aware that they came in at thsi age - I thought he had them all and just was going to loose them and get new ones...but apparently they start loosing them at 6-7 and getting their adult teeth, at this time the 1st set of molars come in...the second set of molars come in around age 11...and then the 3rd set (which are also called wisdom teeth) come in later between age 17-22.

All Things Mario :)

Just a few things Mario related :) So cool!

Here are some Bento Lunches (Bento Lunch is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables as a side dish. Containers range from disposable mass produced to hand crafted lacquerware. Although bento is readily available in many places throughout Japan, including convenience stores, bento shops train stations, and department stores, it is still common for Japanese homemakers to spend considerable time and energy producing an appealing boxed lunch.)

They even have Mario Wedding cakes...

And Mario Themed cars :)

A statue made of cans - it's MARIO!

They even have MARIO energy drinks! YUM! I am guessing that drink makes you "super mario"

An awesome bedroom design of The Mushroom Kingdom...

Mario Shoes??? Which came out in '07 so I dont think they make them anymore.

Mario Klik? I am guessing it is something like PEZ?

Yummm....Cupcakes...Mario Style!

**Note: We had no way participated in the de-facing of this money, we found it while searching on the internet**

This is pretty neat - mural made with thumb tacks!

Yoshi and Kirby made from food :)

It's Michael's World

Michael asked me to create him his own blog and so I have done so for him :)

Hope you enjoy Michael's ramblings - and I am pretty sure it will mostly be about Mario and Luigi :)
