I got off work today and we went over to Stuart’s school to meet his new teacher.  Then we went to dinner and to try to find Tiger Woods 10 for the Wii.  No luck with that but I did get the new D&D book.  Anyway we got home at around 7:30, just in time to get the kids ready for bed.  Since school starts tomorrow we wanted to get them into bed at 8 so Stu could be very rested.  At about 8:15 we heard a lot of laughing and then a loud thump followed by crying.  I went in to check and Stu’s crying saying “I hit my head really hard!”  That’s when I saw the blood on his pillow.  I put my hand on it and then he saw the blood and pretty much lost it.  I called for Kami to bring a rag and she came running in and we had a look.

Anyway, long story short, a couple of hours in the ER and we are home.  Stu’s in bed and excited to have 2 staples in his head.  Great story for the first day of school right?  Here’s a pic before the doctor examined it.  I’ll try to post a pic of the wound tomorrow when the dressing comes off.

Yesterday was my birthday.  It was a good day.  Earlier in the week our TV we bought when we first got married stopped working so we ordered a new one from Costco.com.  Saturday we discovered that it was backordered indefinitley so we figured we’d go see what waas available locally.  We found a good deal on another Sony so we got it.  Now we can play guitar hero on a big screen.

I had some family over and a couple of friends for some cake.  The cake was awesome, I found a buttercream frosting recipe online and Kami made it but it wasn’t chocolatey so she kept adding chocolate chips to it.  I was nice and fluffy when it went on but after it cooled and sat in the fridge it was like the cake had been frosted with milk chocolate.  Needless to say, it was very tasty.

So here’s what I got.

• Guitar Hero World tour for the Wii.
• Dungeon Delve (D&D Suppliment)
• A rocket Gun
• Sketchbook
• Chainmail (D&D minis)
• Money for guitar hero downloads
• Money for other stuff (Spent on Wii Remotes)

It was a good birthday.  Thanks everyone.

This last week my Dad was able to come over to Pullman to help me work on my basement. My goal was to hang the sheet rock on the ceiling in the Bathroom/Laundry room and the Bedroom since those rooms were complete with wiring and and plumbing so I knew we wouldn’t have a bunch of extra stuff to do in there. The Livingroom still needed some electricity run. We ended up getting the ceiling up in all of the rooms. We also got all of the other stuff done too. We put all of the insulation around the rooms, got the wiring done, added a heat/AC register in the family room, and installed the new lighting. It was a lot of work but it was fun to work with my Dad as always.

Wednesday he play D&D with me and my friends. I know it had to be a shock, some of my friends are pretty into it. We also poured some acrylic resin into a mold to make some custom dice. I broke the mold open today but it wasn’t pretty. I think I need to inject each die compartment with a syringe next time. Only one die came out decent. I think it will be playable.

I think the highlight of the week was that he gave Jake and I the first in a series of drawing lessons. It was a lesson in proportions. I think I’m done with my assignment now. We’ll see how I did. I think it looks pretty decent for my first try.  I’ll post some pictures of stuff later.
