Crazy Bingo

I thought I'd seen it all. Then I went to BINGO night at an elementary school. Should be fun, right? No one taking it too seriously, right? Wrong. In typical Jackson family style, Ben and I are sitting at the table playing Bingo. Playing 8 cards of Bingo. Because Charles is chasing Lily (it was his turn) and Sofia was playing with a friend. Ben decided to bale. He'd just finished dinner and wanted to get up and move around, so now it is just me playing 8 cards of Bingo. (2 per family member in case you're not getting the math.) And I won! Ben is excited, he collects his prize, and the guy behind me throws a fit. An honest to goodness, "that woman is a cheater!" fit. And he just keeps on going. Through the next three games. And then to anyone who will listen to him. Frankly, it was ticking me off!!!! I looked around the room and I was not the only person playing cards for MIA family members. What do you think? Did I cheat? Am I missing the spirit of the evening? I offered my cards to my friend at our table. She refused to take them lest she get beat up in the parking lot on the way out if she'd won.

worst blogger ever?

I think the only person worse at blogging than me, is me. I can claim that because this is not my first time at the blogging rodeo so to speak. But enough of that because, really, who cares? It's been 9 months. Oh crap, 10 months. And a lot has happened, so lets just skip ahead. Ben turns 6 in 2 weeks!I absolutely cannot believe it. I also can't believe how many Lego sets he's asking for. He has ordered a red velvet cake with swedish fish on top. I love my boy. He stayed home today with a fever and a cough and I hope he's better by friday so he can go to the hockey game with his grandpa and go to hockey practice on saturday! Sofia started ballet and loves it. She is also still loving preschool. She spent most of last week sick and did a good job of passing her germs around. She's been helping me out so much at home. So today she had a well-deserved manicure and pedicure. I'll give a dollar to anyone who can guess the colors she picked! Lily is almost 15 months old!! She's a climber, a runner and a barbie lover! I am still in love with my blue-eyed beauty. She is amazing!! Life is fun and full. I'm currently tackling tons of craft projects that I have been collecting materials for. Oh, and I started worrying a book. And I'm trying to take more pictures so I can save for our Hawaii trip this summer. Which means the kids won this year. No amount of hawaiian french toast can equal a trip to hawaii.
