A day of the dead celebration on campus.

Catching up, Beanies and all

Well it seems that my excitement for my blog must have waned a bit so I've decided to play catch up. It's been a busy week so far. Yesterday Sarah and I went to court to finalize our divorce. After that we had a very nice day together talking and playing Scrabble. I had not really played Scrabble much before and I'm happy to report I did quite well. Tuesday evening Marcus and I went over to Leah's place and ran off with her two tubs of Beanie Babies. So we counted them and put the names into an Excel spreadsheet. Marcus was so helpful. He would take one out of the tub hold it up look at the tush tag and tell me the name and I'd type it in then I'd say "animal" and he would tell me what kind of animal it was. We did this in a effort to find valuable ones and put them for sale on Ebay. Now we are at this point halfway through looking up the prices on all 142 Beanie Babies and have become somewhat disheartened to learn that not many of them are worth very much in todays Beanie market. Here is a picture of Marcus on my bed with 142 Beanie Babies.

I've not heard from Lauren in the last week or so which kinda bums me out as I'm used to chatting with her during the day. Where are you woman? Say hi to Matt and B for me.
Oh Oh before I forget. Nicole and I went to Target last night and bought Vienna Sausages for dinner. I'm pretty sure those things are terrible for you but they always tasted great to me.
Have a great day.

DJ Marcus jamming

We were at guitar center today. The guy in the dJ room showed him how to use the equipment. He was a natural. Marcus totally rocked the room.

Here is the accompanying video.... he really enjoyed this stuff.

Haircut day

He took too much off! Ok, I have to admit that when I first got this haircut I didn't like it at all.
2 Days later I'm quite fond of it.

Our Company Picnic's Cake Walk.

Our Company Picnic is was today. I made a video of me MCing the Cakewalk.
I also got to call the numbers for Bingo. I've had lots of fun today. They had a singer singing tejano Music. We had BBQ food catered. Oh and there was large trailer with big screen TVs with Xbox and Nintendo Wii. So I played Mario Kart Wii and Bowling with Amy and Yvette.
I think I've eaten a bit too much and I had a Dr. Pepper. My tummy hurt a little while ago but I'll live. Tonight I get to chill with Nicole at Jake and Manda's place. They are great people.
Oh yea Nicole passed her test this morning so all of our weekend plans are still good to go.


This is the video game truck.

Marcus and Daddy

Today we went to the zoo in San antonio for the first time since he was about 4. The weather was really nice and the animals were plenty.

A flower

Nicole took lots of pictures of Flowers at the San Antonio Zoo today. We all had a really nice time. Marcus used the map and played the part of Tour Guide all day.

Marcus focused on Castle Crashers

Here we are on saturday afternoon relaxing. We went to the mall an hour before the stores opened quite accidentally and had a wonderful time looking around. At Hot Topic he got a Legend Of Zelda wristband. We came back to the house and played Castle Crashers together. Tomorrow its off to the San Antonio Zoo and the Tower of the Americas.
