I bought these a few months back for Greg and I love them.



I went out and bought the above set tonight (I felt bad...we were leaving Applebee's and he fell and hit his head HARD on the concrete).He was okay...after he cried for about 5 minutes straight and I felt like shit. I guess those are the downsides to being a mom.

Anyway, the set has 3 markers (that only write on the paper), 3 soft sticks...which are like crayons...and then 2 paint pen thingies (that paint like paint brushes). I;m not going to give him the paint thingies because he's too little for those, but the soft sticks and the markers he can have. He can write on the carpet if he wants to and it doesn't show up...he can write on the wall, the couch, the chair, his clothes...and it doesn't show up. They're fantastic! I'm so glad they invented these

Um...in other news. Been working like a slave...I work most weekends, work days when I can overtime...I think I spend more time there than I do at home. I might as well pitch a tent and visit the place that I'm paying to live at. Have you ever heard that phrase "I work to live, not live to work." I wish that were true...I do work to live...but it just seems like I'm living to work more than I'm working to live. It's so pitiful.

Speaking of living...I'm moving in August. I'm done with these apartments that I live in. They suck and I'm moving on. The ones that we're looking into have 2 bedrooms and a loft. Obviously, the bedrooms would be for Greg and one for me and Brian...and then the loft is going to be for the computers. Since the loft us upstairs (and it has vaulted ceilings, I guess) and it's open to the living room...it'll appear to be a lot more open and Greg can't exactly get up the stairs very well to get to the computers (a plus). He sees us on the computers now and he goes over to them and starts playing with the mouse (like he sees us) and banging on the keyboard (like he assumes we're doing). It's cute...but at the same time, no one enjoys closing 12 windows of Firefox because Greg pressed the enter key 12 times while that shortcut was highlighted. NO FUN AT ALL...

Anyway...this is enough for now.

Haha, I wasn't attempting to be tool-y about it, just agreeing that graveyard is indeed shit.

Those crayon-marker-pen things always seem entertaining. If i had a kid, I'd certainly get one. Though people think I'm bound to be a bad parent, as I don't want my kid watching TV or having computery things until they are at least 10... "zomg you are not going to let your kid watch disney? how horrible!"Oh well.

Those colour wonder are a miracle...
I cant believe they really have these kind of things...

Sounds like Greg's gonna turn out to be a computer whiz.... haha

we used to live in a house with a loft. the cats liked to chill out on the ledge. one of them actually decided to chase something off the wall once... all we heard was a THUD and then the cat scurrying off. luckily he was alright. good luck getting into those apartments.

Ouch! I hope there is no bump on his head. I can hear him go thump and start crying in my head right now. Sounds horrible!

I didn't know the inventions nowadays are so awesome that things like pens and crayons know how to recognise surfaces! Saves you a lot of time and energy for that.
