Wordful Wednesday: Mario Kart

-
Remember Nintendo 64? It's somewhere between Nintendo and PS3. We still have ours and we dragged out Mario Kart on Sunday. I raced against Big A a few times (he won one set and I won one; we're pretty friendly when we play), then we decided to let Moose at it.

Here's he's got our PS2 controller. I wanted him to not feel left out when we had controllers.

When it was his turn, he just ran his guy into a wall and kept pressing buttons. This is when he realized the red button (pause) made noise. He just kept pushing it and pushing it, leaving Big A's game paused, unpaused, paused, unpaused. Oh my, it was HILARIOUS!


Look how proud he is of himself! It was so sweet.

This is an awful picture of Big A but I think they look adorable together. Gaming time!

But honestly, one thing makes me confused about these pictures. Where did my chubby little baby go? This little boy in these pictures is skinny! Where's his pot belly? I swear it disappeared overnight! ...I guess this means he's growing up...

The Way Back (movie trailer + 2 comebacks + a giveaway)

  It's been so long since I've sat here at my computer and wrote something other than an email. It's been even longer since I've written anything besides a book review. It's just been a funky year or two, but I hope to be back more regularly. Hopefully with less filler (although I don't even know if book reviews are filler for me because books are just a big part of my life, but I plan to be even pickier about what I read and share now) and more about the testimonies God is teaching me in every day life. However, this is not the week for that; too many things on my plate.   In light of my comeback as a writer (fingers crossed), I thought I'd share an upcoming movie with you about another comeback. The Way Back is a Warner Bros. film starring Ben Affleck (Good Will Hunting, that awful Justice League movie, that one movie about Boston thieves that I won't recommend because the language and some content was awful but it was a well-made film). The movie it...

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp...
