JUST A TIP - When buying Macaroni and Cheese never get the special shapes like Spongebob, Scooby Doo or even spirals. You will lose 1.75 ounces as the the special shapes only have 5.5 ounces and the "regular Macaroni and Cheese " has 7.25 ounces. Unless buying for kids get the best bang for your buck and get the regular Mac and Cheese. Just a useful life tip from me.
- My nephew is playing basketball he is 7 years old and almost 5 ft tall. His dad was very good at basketball as was his mom, but so far he has shown no athletic aptitude. Although he has tried Soccer and Baseball in the past he seems to want this more then anything else. It also seems like maybe he is getting a little more coordinated which is great.
- I saw the movie The Invisible on DVD last night it was promising but the ending was pretty disappointing. It just didn't hold my attention, I liked the main characters I just thought the movie ended strange and too (because most movies are) unrealistic.

Rendition - Movie Review
Rendition - When an Egyptian terrorism suspect "disappears" on a flight from Africa to Washington DC, his American wife (Reese Witherspoon) and a CIA analyst (Jake Gyllenhaal) find themselves caught up in a struggle to secure his release from a secret detention facility somewhere outside the US
This movie sucked. It was like reading a book except the book would have been a lot more interesting. They could have killed the main characters in this movie and I wouldn't have cared at all. This is not the worst movie I have ever seen but not something I want to pay 10 dollars to go see at the movie theater. Maybe it would have been good on DVD when I was tired and wanted to go to sleep quickly.
I haven't really liked Jake Gyllenhaal since he got his back broken on that mountain. You can make a million movies but you make one gay cowboy eating pudding on a mountain movie and that is all you will be remembered for. Reese Witherspoon was good in Freeway back in 1996 but hasn't done much since then.

Old ladies at Subway
- Swim Lessons at the YMCA, My mom and I, my nephew and niece (Damon and Jazzy) and my kids (Lily, Mia and Taylor) 5 kids at the pool. (Doesn't that sound like fun)
- Lily and Damon passed although we are going to keep Lily back to stay with her cousin, she barely passed and could use another session at the same level.
- Taylor socked Mia in the face it was a good punch and I was proud of my daughter for taking it and Taylor had good form. Too bad he got pulled from the pool for the last half hour but he seemed to understand apologized and was great the rest of the day.
-Subway by the YMCA sucks ass, a bunch of old ladies who don't really know how to use the cash register. My mom was way to nice as they over charged us by about 10 dollars. She was just tired of waiting.
-My daughter Lily is in special learn your shapes group in Kindergarten. My ex volunteers at the School every other Tuesday and gave me that surprising news. Doesn't make any sense to me since she knows all her shapes and letters and appears to be really smart. Maybe she is uncomfortable or thinks it is a game. I don't know, but she is driving me a little nuts.
-New rule for one of my daughters (guess which one) "Only hug people in your family or preapproved by dad. " Lots of hugging of dudes on Friday a little disturbing. She is way to friendly and way to eager to please which can be a disastrous combination for a little girls with the way the world is now.
-Going to take my nephew who is a 7 year old Giant to go play some basketball going to start helping coach his Y basketball team this week should be fun.
-Mia was playing with balloons in her room when she tripped fell and hit her face on the wooden toy box, nice mark across her cheek. Tough day for her.
-I was getting gas and I saw this moron just walk across the path of my car twice and I am not the best driver, he was lucky I was just paying attention this time. It doesn't happen often, he walked into the street where I saw a lady draw a dog into her car. When the dog got into the car, the lady started wailing on the dog, then the crazy dude who walked in front of me twice then got in the car and the car starts shaking and he takes his turn beating his dog. I just hope that couple never has kids.
-Fuck Boston, Just saw the Patriots destroy another team, watching the Redsox win the world series and watched Boston College squeak out a win against Va Tech to remain number 2 in the country. I am sure the Celtics now that they have Allen and Garnett will make the NBA Finals. So screw all Boston fans. Yeah it is jealousy.
-UFC is way better then boxing. Can't help it I want boxing to be better but it just can't compare. Brock Lesner is coming to UFC, lets see what happens. He was a College Heavyweight national champion and is a beast athlete. Maybe Goldberg can come next.

The Haunted Woods
Lauren, Ashley and I took 5 kids to the haunted woods in Eagle on Friday.
- My daughters don't like to walk around in the dark woods and have men in masks yell at them.
- This doesn't seem to bother Lauren's sons at all as Parker just said "hi I am Parker", while Taylor would ask where did the scary animals go when they were gone.
- Ashley's daughter seemed to be fine as long as she was holding an adults hand.
- Musical Children is when kids don't want to be in the front too long and decide to trade handlers after getting scared to get towards the back.
- Ashley got the crap scared out of her when my daughters flipped out and I fell behind. One of the "scary men" got behind her, I told her I was right behind her. She said OK then the dude scared the crap out of her. A couple F bombs are dropped by Ashley.
-After about 3/4 of a mile all the kids wanted to leave (except Parker) so we started waving the white flag walking through the woods repeating the phrase "We are little kids, we are scared, we want to go home." The scary men in masks started hi-fiving the kids and letting them know it was OK. I believe this saved us from dealing with some nightmares.
- Minivans are great for transporting kids not great for parking. We have a minivan now and believe me great for taking kids not so easy for me to park. As I held up a lot of people with my amazing driving skills, going forward, backward, forward, backward turn the wheel to the left, the right to the left. GREAT PARKING SKILLS.
-Whole thing was pretty inexpensive the line was about 30 minutes which was tough to entertain the kids for that long. Lots of holding the younger kids and carrying them. Stupid teenagers screaming in front of us. Surprised Ashley or Lauren didn't push a couple teenage
girls into the woods and whoop their ass.
-Got free chocolate milk at the end of the thing. HELL YES I LOVE CHOCOLATE MILK. Especially FREE.
-Left the chocolate milk in the van when we got home because all the kids fell asleep and we had to carry them in. Forgot about the free chocolate milk (yes free) and so I didn't get any. Saddest point of my life
-A thought about the fires in So. California and I would be willing to bet that it was started by somebody who was about to have their house foreclosed on. Too bad this couldn't have happened in Tomball Texas last year.
-The movie Planet Terror sucks balls. Just didn't care or laugh or anything. Just thought it was kind of gross and horrible. I like most zombie movies but this goes at the bottom. Even the machine gun leg sucked ass.
