Back to work, back to work

Alrighty, so today was the first day back to work for Scott and I after an awesome 6 days off. It wasn't a terrible day back, it wasn't an awesome day back, it was a day.

Mat was being his typical cute self today, like always. Though he now goes 'WHY NOT?' for everything...thanks Daddy. Mat would say 'Why' over and over again, then Scott would just say 'Why not' so now Mat does it...constantly. It's so awesome. Mat is more in the question stage than ever, everything is why, how, what, who, etc. He tends to retain what you tell him though, which is pretty cool.

Mat is using his imagination all the time now. He pretends he's super Mat, or Sir Mat, or Doctor Mat, among a plethora of other things. Tonight he was pretending he had a tea party with 2 cow stuffed animals, myself and Scott. The cat, Fluffy, joined us for a bit, then left, and came back. When he came back, Mat was like, 'Oh Fluffy, have you come to join us again?' Haha! I was about to crack up, he was so polite about it, and serious, it was awesome. We are about to try him on 'big boy books' that have no pictures, since his imagination has blossomed so much. He seemed pretty excited about it. We'll start him out on James and the Giant Peach.

Other than that, we miss the Mays family, they are back in Arizona now. We enjoyed our limited time with them. Though we are holding the razor they left behind as a hostage...RETURN TO OHIO OR THE RAZOR GETS WATERBOARDED AGAIN! Mat has been asking for each member of the Mays' family since they left. He doesn't quite understand the whole distance thing yet...We'll get there!

In other news, WARHAMMER OPEN BETA IS SUNDAY. In preparation for this, I must complete my final project for my business foundations class, and the remainder of my discussions. So I have 7 discussions to complete, and the final paper and powerpoint presentation. THIS IS DOABLE, as I will be doing nothing on Sat. but this, well after I return from baking myself at the Beach for my company picnic. Speaking of the company picnic, Logan and Audra will be joining us for a fun filled day of excitement and fun at the waterpark. Good times, good times. I imagine Scott and I will trade back and forth with the kids so we can ride a few rides!

Also, Fluffers (new nick name for Fluffy, thanks Josh:P ) has caught 2 mice this past week. Only 1 died, the other one escaped...Kim and I witness this first hand...we were terrified that the mouse would attack us, so we kind of ran in circles around the living room as we were watching Stardust and the boys all slept.

I've added some additional pictures, and a video of Uncle Josh chasing Mat around the tennis court! So check them out!

I've kind of ran out of things to chatter about...so FAREWELL.

It does seem that everytime y'all come to town (or Kim and Josh visit) I'm in Idaho. I totally could have come/been there as well, but certain someones don't tell me of the trips until like the week before.

Hey now, certain someones read this too! Besides, we all agreed to plan the next trip around your schedule.

I'm excited about Warhammer too. We have to get on the same server.
