ce my point (as Braxton calls it)

Our trip to ce my point (cedar point) was really a great trip. We were so worried about Braxton and his willingness to ride and have a good time but he did great. He loved every minute of it even after 11 and a half hours he was still wanting to ride. He rode almost every ride he could even the adult spinny rides and just laughed and giggled and had the best time. I have to say though that if you are not into the water rides going in the fall for the halloweekends is really the best time to go. It was still very busy but it was not hot and you could walk around without feeling like you are going to have a heat stroke and the decerations and Halloween stuff was really fun. They had several haunted area after the sun went down some for the little kids and some for the bigger kids and adults. I have to rank this about my favorite trip ever to Cedar Point even though Rob and I got to ride almost nothing and I was sick. I would love to go again without Braxton just so we could enjoy the Halloweekend even more.

Labor Day weekend

First of all I want to say that my Dad did an awesome job on his bike ride from Lansing to the Mackinac Bridge. I am very proud of him it is quite an accomplishment that he should be very proud of. Well as for my family we went camping with the in-laws. We had a good time. Braxton went swimming for the first time, we went fishing, put put golfing and garage sailing. We ate more food than any human needs to eat in a weekend and just enjoyed the outdoors.

what is it about spongebob

Has anybody besides me found themselves sitting a watching and spongebob marathon for the 6th time that week and realize that this is the most played cartoon of all times. I swear it is on at least 50 times a day between the 3 nick channels we have and my kids try their best to catch every episode a day. After about 6 episodes I find myself turning off the TV listening to the cries and making the kids go outside. I have yet to figure out what is so great about this show but it entrances my 12 year old, 4 year old and 2 year old. They will all sit quietly and watch, their must be some kind of hidden hypnotism in the show. If at some point in the day I can not find spongebob on (which never happens) the kids think the TV is broke. I want to know how to make this kind of entrancement work on homework and chores.
