Another movie goes unfinished.

 Yesterday was pretty blah for the most part just like any other Saturday really. Gavii went upstairs for a nap at around 1pm and meanwhile Logan played around on the internet and at one point once things got pretty boring online both for him and for me we sat outside for a bit. Sure, it's been cold in the mornings but in the afternoon it's gotten pretty nice outside if you sit in the sun. Anyways, we went back and forth on dinner that afternoon. First Logan was going to cook because he found an awsome app for his IPod touch but as it turns out we were just short one thing for each thing he wanted to cook. Oh well, we ended up deciding that we'd just order out. By the time it was time to get Gavii up and going though the whole dinner plan had changed yet again..

Yep, even though we didn't have everything needed Logan ended up cooking us up some pasta. He used up the last container of shrimp we had lying around and he basically made some red sauce pasta with shrimp. Oh and it had a bit of a kick to it which was a good thing. Gavii got her dinner first and then after she was done we sat down to dinner. As it turns out she ended up joining us in dinner..Kind of. She brought out her tea set and set up three little cups and she started offering us tea for after dinner. It was actually rather cute. Anyways, she did get to try a bite of our dinner but since it was a little spicy she ended up spitting it right back out. Oh well, once dinner was done Gavii and I yet again played some tea party. This has become her favorite game of all to play since she got her tea set on Christmas. Anyways, Logan got a phone call shortly before Gavii's bedtime. Her bedtime rolled around and I got her upstairs and tucked in. Logan got off the phone at around 8:30pm and he had an idea of what movie he wanted to watch. He wanted to watch "Beauty and the beast" but we didn't own that movie and Logan couldn't find the TV show anywhere either..Oh well, he searched around and he did finally find a copy that we could watch. The download took a while but we did finally get to watch the movie and eat some popcorn. Blah, since it took so long to locate the movie we ended up not finishing it at all. I think we only got a half an hour into the movie before we decided it was bedtime. Oh well, we went to bed and figured we'd pick up the movie again tomorrow night.

As for this morning I heard Logan get outta bed at around 7:30am and I got up shortly after he got up. Once I was up I was able to get downstairs and before I could even get a cup of coffee I heard Gavii wake up. Oh well, I got her dressed and set up with her oatmeal. This morning was nothing too special..Gavii helped me play with my app's on fb like always and well, since Logan was up a bit early today I ended up getting into a shower at around 8:30am. So, once I was dressed, ready and had my hair set up we picked up the kitchen mess and headed out to Target.

We got to Target and right away we went to get our coffee. We waited for our coffee and meanwhile Logan checked out the app on his Ipod touch and thankfully it worked in the store so we were able to pick up the staples we had to throw out the other day and what we needed for our first pasta dish. We're doing a 'pasta madness' leading up to New Years day. It should work out well but we had a whole lotta shopping to do today. Anyways, we got what we needed and then we checked out and headed home. Of course, like normal I couldn't help put the groceries away because Gavii wanted food right away. I got her set up with food and then I got myself set up with food. Once we were done with lunch I got the chance to take care of a few things online before she started asking for a bath. The bath was done quickly and without a fight.

Anyways, Gavii's shows have been driving us crazy today so we ended up putting on "Dumbo" for her just now. As it turns out she's literally glued to the TV watching the baby elephant with the big ears. This was one of my favorite movies growing up as a kid so it's kind of nice that she's digging the movie. We're going to let her stay up until 1:30pm so she can finish the movie.

Oh well, tomorrow is our big shopping day. We plan on going to the mall, picking up a few things and basically taking advantage of the after Christmas sales. Of course, now our plans may change..We're contemplating going over to AZ Mills to hit up the Disney store to see if we can locate a stuffed dumbo for Gavii. Either which way we'll figure something out on what we're doing..Anyways, that's my ranting for today..Until I update again...Hasta!

Christmas, Christmas..

 So, on Christmas eve we contined the tradition of ordering out for Chinese food. I ended up ordering at around 6pm to make sure we could get our dinner. Yes, they were open and food showed up pretty quickly after it was ordered so it worked out. Now, I ate my food when it first showed up but well, Logan waited a bit to eat because he was working on a last minute project. At any rate, I let Gavii stay up a bit later then normal that night too just because she got to open a present or two on Christmas eve and she wanted to play with the toys. Anyways, I took her upstairs to bed at around 8pm. I tucked her in and then once she was in her room I started the process of moving the presents downstairs. It was actually a lot of work to get all those presents down the stairs. At any rate, Logan did finally eat his dinner and we ended up putting on "Mortal Kombat". We were just burnt out on Christmas and holiday movies so we put in something that was far, far from a holiday movie.

Mid-movie the phone rang and since it was someone who the hubby doesn't talk to all the time it wasn't a big deal. He was on the phone for a little over an hour. He ended up going into the garage for a bit and then he'd come back into the kitchen and talk and watch the movie for a bit. So, once the movie was over we ended up going into the garage for a bit and well, once everything was said and done we ended staying up way too late. Logan ended up wrapping up a bunch of my stuff at literally the last minute aka an hour before midnight. At any rate, we headed to bed at around 11:30pmish and well, I had a hard time getting to sleep that night. There was a ton of kids outside and playing that night. In fact, they were bouncing a basketball around and yelling and screaming. When the kids weren't being loud I was having coughing fits. I think I fell asleep finally at around 1:30am.

As for Christmas morning I woke up and saw an empty side of the bed. I figured Logan was on the couch but well, when I left the bedroom he wasn't on the couch he was actually already awake already. Now, Gavii was up pretty early but she did fall back asleep so at least on Christmas morning Logan and I got some peace and quiet before Gavii got up and going. So, we hung out in the garage for a bit and as it turns out Logan was up since 5am that morning. He had the opposite problem..I guess the kids that were up late yelling and screaming also happened to be up early yelling and screaming. Seriously, did these kids even sleep at all? Anyways, at around 8am I heard Gavii wake up. I got her and brought her downstairs. She immedately got excited about the presents. She also quickly found the one 'santa hat' bear that was just sitting under the tree and not wrap. I made a good call on not wrapping that stuffed animal..All thanks to that bear she didn't go too crazy right away on the presents. She had some oatmeal and then once she was done eatting she watched some Monster trucks..Yes, Speed does a Monster truck marathon on Christmas and last year it made Gavii really happy and this year really was no different she was still thrilled with the monster trucks. So, I'd say at around 9am Gavii made a bolt for the presents. She opened up the fence and went and grabbed up a present. She started trying to open other people's presents too. So, we had to direct her towards her own gifts. The morning was spent with her picking out something she wanted to open, then she'd open it and ask for it to be taken out of the box. Now, we tried to fit some of our own gifts in between her gifts but well, long story short she wanted to open up EVERYONE'S gifts. She was pretty disappointed too when she saw that not everyone was getting toys like her. At any rate, Gavii made out really good this year yet again..Our house on the other hand got the bad end of the stick. Both of our trash cans got quickly filled with wrapping paper and boxes. In fact, we ran out of room for a lot of the cardboard that Gavii's toys came with..Urgh, basically we had to leave some of the boxes in the hallway because we just don't have room for them in the trash.

At any rate, once everything was opened I had Logan make me a cappucino which was very yummy and this time I got a refill on my coffee too. Gavii played with her toys for a bit and then she asked for some food. I hadn't even showered yet at this point but I got her set up with food. We both did lunch and then I went upstairs and took a shower. By the time I was outta my shower it was a little after noon. Gavii and I had a little bit of a tea party and generally we just played around with her toys for most of the afternoon. Eventually her naptime rolled around and this was the rough part of the day. I had to drag her away from a lot of her new toys. Yeah, she was a bit upset but there was no fit which was a good thing. Once she was in bed Logan and I just hung out. We ended up hanging outside for a little while yesterday because well, it was actually kind of nice when you got into the sun. At any rate, we talked, we had a little 'fun', and then we started working on dinner. Yep, I helped with dinner yet again this year..Sure, all I did this time was a lot of chopping but still..I helped with the stuffing. All in all it worked out rather well..As the game hen's were getting done I was getting Gavii out of her nap. I brought her downstairs and got her set up with dinner while Logan set up our plates. Yep, we all had our dinner together and it worked out well..

Once we were done with our food Logan started messing around on his computer. He started up with some music mixing but well, didn't get too involved in the project. We ended up spending the night trying to show Gavii exactly how her new remote control Lightening Mcqueen car worked. Shortly before Gavii's bedtime the typical holiday phone calls started coming in. Logan talked on the phone for a bit and then sooner then later it was Gavii's bedtime. I wasn't about to let her stay up late again because she didn't nap and well, she had just had a big day. Anyways, I took her upstairs at around 7:30amish and once she was in bed Logan took care of the rest of the phone calls. Once all was said and done we ended up putting on "Sleepless in Seatle" and eatting some popcorn. We didn't watch the whole movie but we decided we'd pick it up the following day when we both weren't so tired. We ended up going to bed a little bit before 10pm.

As for this morning I heard Gavii wake up pretty early. Oh well, I ended up waking up at around 7:30am. I got the day going..Got Gavii up and dressed and fed. She was more then happy to go back to the toys she got the other day. Now, the one toy that ended up under the tree just didn't work right yesterday. Her singing Ming-Ming still wasn't working and she pretty much kept telling me it needed to be fixed. Once Logan got up at around 8am she started to tell Logan her toy needed to be fixed. We were orginally going to go to Target or Wal-mart today to replace the broken toy but we decided against it. Oh well, I went upstairs and took a shower and we were outta the house. Instead of going to Target or wal-mart we went to the grocery store. We got to the plaza and Logan hit up RadioShack and Hallmark while I got going on the list. I got what we needed and thankfully Logan got done with what he needed from the other stores rather quickly. We got what we needed, checked out and headed home. We got home and before we could even get everything set up Gavii wanted food. I got her set up with her food and then I got myself set up with food. We both had some lunch and then once I was done eatting I went upstairs and changed myself then it was time for Gavii's bath. Once I had Gavii downstairs from her bath Logan made the call to alienware.

Yes, he ordered my big gift on Christmas since our end of the year checks had shown. The only problem is that there's a thing called Raid-0 on it which after talking to my dad about it we've realized it's a bad thing..Logan printed out the information on the laptop and made the phone call. The laptop is already 'in production' as he found out and as he also found it the tech people were completely no help at all. He kept being passed around and passed around..Generally he got nowhere fast and we soon realized that we're getting the computer as is and the harddrive is just going to need to be reformated. Oh well, I have to wait until the end of Januaray to get the laptop so another couple of days of waiting won't be the end of the world.

Oh well, Gavii has been happily playing with her toys today and weirdly enough the one broken Ming-Ming is now working somehow. Logan said she had tossed the thing on the floor earlier and since the toy was dropped it now works..Weird. It's almost the little one's naptime so it's time to wrap up the blog and whatnot..Until I update again...hasta!

The DVD that crashed the computer and more prep.

 Yesterday wasn't that thrilling for the most part. Gavii of course didn't nap because she was too thrilled with her webkinz fish which was suppose to be mine mind you. She ended up just happily playing in her room for the most part which was fine with us. Anyways, the time rolled around to get her up and going and it was nothing outta the ordinary. Oh, I forgot to mention that Logan did work on the duck cake while Gavii was napping. Sure, he didn't do the whole 3D thing but he did part of the duck cake which turned out pretty well. Once that was done he ended up working on a baked sweet potato. Since I had never had a baked sweet potato he wanted to make sure I liked it before he made it for Christmas dinner. All in all everything turned out really well..The cake and the potato. Of course, I ended up filling up a bit on the cake sample and the baked potato sample.

Anyways, Gavii got up at the normal time. I got her some dinner and then we let her play around for a bit. At around 6:30pm I ordered us some cold sandwichs just to put in the fridge. The food took a little over an hour to show up which was more then fine since neither of us happened to be starving. Oh well, I took Gavii upstairs for bed at around 7:30pm. I read her a story and tucked her in. At around 8pm the food showed up. We ended up sitting down and eatting. Our plan was to watch "District 9" but that didn't pan out too well. We got through the previews and then before we could even hit play movie the whole computer crashed. It was a major crash to say the least. Logan got upset and ended up calling up Ryan to see if he knew what to do. Anyways, after an hour of Logan messing around he finally figured out what happened. Basically, somehow the DVD ended up messing up the video drivers. He did get things fixed but it took a long, long time. Once it was all taken care of we ended up watching the second half of the one "Star Trek" TV series. Once the episode was over we headed for bed.

As for this morning, I heard Gavii wake up way too early. She got up at around 6am talking about the fish..Urgh, oh well..I got up at around 7am and got her up and going too. Sure, it was pretty early for a non-school day but oh well..She had her breakfast and then asked for a slice of duck cake which wasn't happening. Oh well, Logan got up at around 8am and I was into a shower by around 8:45am. Now, we had to go out today..Even though we didn't want to go out we did still need a few odds and ends for dinner on Christmas. Once I was done and ready we headed out to Target. We got there and I got Gavii into a cart, we got coffee and then Logan went to the bookstore to look for more webkinz. He did some shopping and I got the grocery shopping done. It worked out pretty well because by the time I had just gotten the grocery shopping done he was done so we checked out and headed home.

We got home and we put away the groceries and then right away Gavii asked for food. We had some lunch and all was well..Now, once she had lunch she of course wanted a bath right away but I hadn't changed or anything yet..Blah, I put her into her room so that I could change and this made her pretty annoyed with me. She was left in her bedroom alone while I was changing. Once I was seriously ready for her I went and got her into a bath. Once that was all said and done I took her downstairs and she played around in the kitchen while Logan and I cleaned out the fridge. Yeah, it was gross but we found out what was smelling in the fridge and sure, we're going to have a huge grocery list but still at least that sucker is cleaned out. Oh well, once that was done I took care of a few more things online and then it was Gavii's naptime. Once she was in her room I went upstairs and wrapped a few last minute gifts for Gavii. Yeah, I've been over productive today to say the least..I'm still working on laundry too..Oh well, I plan on taking care of the kitchen island tomorrow since I've taken care of a lot today. Oh and we're having our traditional Chinese food dinner tonight and then game hens and a whole lotta trimmings tomorrow.

At any rate, that's my ranting for today...Until I update again...Hasta!

Christmas prep and other stuff.

 Yesterday was pretty blah for the most part. I took Gavii upstairs for a nap but at the end of the day she really didn't nap at all. Oh well, Logan played around with his Ipod touch for most of the afternoon and evening. He ended up downloading some more games for his IPod touch and all in all he enjoys the present but yeah, he keeps making the battery run out which means he actually has to set it down and let it charge. Anyways, we did make a choice on dinner finally that afternoon. Orginally Logan was going to cook but since the chicken was questionable and we didn't have garlic bread we decided to order out.

Anyways, I got Gavii up, she had some dinner and then at around 6:30pm I ordered us dinner. We let her play and dance around while Logan and I took turns with the IPod touch. Now, I was hoping the food was going to show up after Gavii was in bed but it showed up at a bit early. Oh well, it was just about her bedtime anyways so we cleaned up her toys and then I took her upstairs, tucked her in and read her a book. We ended up eatting our food and then Logan went back to his IPod touch. Yeah, we didn't watch a movie or anything that night because Logan was trying out games. Oh well, I ended up taking a nap on the couch and eventually at around 11pm I woke up, we went to the garage for a minute or two and then we went to bed.

As for this morning I got up at around 6:30am. I heard Gavii was awake already so yeah, I ended up getting up and going. I got into a shower and got dressed then I went and got Gavii. It was your average morning and whatnot for a school day. Gavii had her breakfast and all was well...Now, just as we were about to leave Logan decided that we'd pull Gavii outta school for the day. We had a few errands to run but he figured we could get them done with her in toe no problem. So, we ended up not taking her into school today. We did however still go to the coffee shop for her so that she could see ducks. Yep, she was thrilled to see the ducks and once she had some time to say 'hi' to the ducks we headed off to the mall. She was more then happy to get into the cool car at the mall. Now, Logan and I split up at the mall in order to make better time. He went to look for his webkinz and I went into Macy's to get my pair of pants. The pants mission became very difficult to say the least. I circled the whole area and couldn't find the pair of jeans I wanted. Sure, they had pants and more pants but the brand wasn't right. It took me so long to even try to locate the pants that Logan found what he needed and met up with me quickly. Oh well, I know I can get them online so it's not the end of the world I just wanted to drop the pants off at the tailor today when I picked up the dress. Anyways, Gavii knew daddy had webkinz and she started getting a bit weird. Oh, we were going to get me a pretzel at the mall but we decided to just head out and get me drive through. So, we left the mall and literally the second we took the little car away from her she freaked out all the way to the car. At this point I was pretty annoyed because errands would have been a ton easier without Gavii. We made it to the grocery store and well, she fit all the way into the grocery store. She did calm down eventually but she kept asking for the toys in the car. Urgh, we got what we needed and then we checked out and hit up the car. Logan was trying to hide one webkin from her so that it could be a Christmas present but her little toy radar went off and she knew it was there..She kept pointing at the bag and generally being a brat so we let her have the fish that Logan was trying to hide. Of course, the fish was the best thing ever to her. So, we the plan was to hit up Wendy's before the tailor but we ended up skipping it because I figured the food would get cold anyways since she wanted me to try on the dress again. We went to the tailor and she was a running a bit behind and she told us to come back in an hour. Thankfully, she's close so we went home and Gavii and I had some lunch.

By the time we had both had our food it was pretty much time to go and pick up the dress. We got there and I tried on the dress one last time so that she could measure out the train. Yep, Gavii was thrilled with the dress all over again. Anyways, the train got fixed up and then we headed back home. Once we were home I got Gavii into a bath. The entire bath she kept talking about Santa coming and her new fish webkin. At any rate, even though Gavii was a bit of a pain today it really didn't go all that bad..We got everything done and well, we still have some light grocery shopping to do tomorrow but for the most part we are ready for Christmas.

Anyways, that's my ranting for today...Until I update again...hasta!

Pizza, movie and errands.

 Yesterday was really not that exciting. I took Gavii upstairs for a nap a bit later then normal and well, she was in such a good mood that she didn't actually nap. Oh well, Logan made a few phone calls that afternoon and sooner then later it was time to get Gavii going. Mind you, she knew it was pizza night but the second she got up she started asking for food. I got her set up with some dinner while Logan called up the pizza place. We ordered our dinner and then we ended up putting on "Transformers 2". So, we had to pause it to get the pizza and pause it one more time because Gavii needed a time out. Her good mood turned into a bad mood as the night wore on. Anyways, it's a good thing we put the movie on early because it was pretty long. Eventually at around 7amish I took Gavii upstairs for bedtime. I read her a story and tucked her in. Shortly after she was in bed the movie ended.

Once that movie was over we put in "Bullet proof"..Yeah, it was an old school Adam Sandler movie which Logan hadn't seen yet..The movie was almost over when the phone rang..Logan was on the phone for about an hour and then after he hung up the phone he said the movie was okay at best but not completely horrible. At any rate, we ended up going to bed at around 10:30pm. It really wasn't that exciting at all to say the least.

As for this morning I got up at around 7:15am. I was up before the coffee machine was started so I hit the button and grabbed my computer. I got no quiet time this morning because once I had my laptop Logan woke up and well, minutes after he was up Gavii got up..Blah and I hadn't even had a cup of coffee yet. Oh well, I got Gavii going then I got her set up with breakfast then I finally had some coffee. Like normal Gavii helped me out with my fb app's..Now, since Logan was up a bit early I ended up getting into a shower a bit earlier then normal. I figured since it looked a bit crappy outside that I would get into a shower early. All in all it worked out..I was done with my hair by around 9:30am and we were outta the house by 10am. Today, we went to Target and picked up everything we need for Christmas dinner. We also grabbed up some DVDs and other supplies for the holiday. We also got Gavii a webkin which well was partly for Logan too. Needless to say Gavii wanted to get home to see the guy on the computer screen. Anyways, we got home and Logan took a trip to the mailbox which well upset Gavii because she was just getting out of the car and she wanted to go too. This resulted in a huge fit and her running down the street to the mailbox. Oh well, once that was over we went inside, took care of the groceries and then Gavii asked for food. Gavii and I had some lunch and then once she was done with her lunch she was able to go over to the computer to check out the webkin on the computer. Once I was done with my lunch I went through the Christmas cards and whatnot..Blah, our end of the year bonus hasn't shown up yet..Hopefully it'll show up soon so that I can get my laptop before the new year.

At any rate, I finally got upstairs to change and then once I was changed I got Gavii into a bath. Once she was done with her bath I ended up taking care of a few things online and then I went to get the end of the month bills taken care of. I got that done just now and yeah, we're all set for tomorrow. We're insane and planning on going to the mall tomorrow. Yep, I want to pick up a new pair of jeans so that I can drop them off with the tailor once I pick up that dress tomorrow..Oh well, hopefully it won't be too insane and not that much of a pain.

At any rate, that's my ranting for today...Until I update again...Hasta!
