Tobacco sales to minors fall by more than half since 2000

How cool!

Partially Thawed...
I'm at work today. It's good to be out of the house actually. This frozen weather is getting pretty old.

So...I was sitting in my living room yesterday afternoon, waiting for Philip to get home from work. I heard something go down our street and crash(making the house shake), I looked out the window, but didn't see anything.

I didn't go out to investigate until I heard Dioji "siren howling" and heard all kinds of sirens and saw light flashing outside. 3 firetrucks and a couple police cars, parked down on the corner.

A pickup truck crashed into the house at the corner! Poor people...You could see right into their house...The TV was even on. I hope they're OK.

Everyone, do us all a favor and slow the F*CK DOWN!

Come back RAIN!

Does anyone know if there was a full moon last night?
I ask because my son was being kind of a crazy man last night...
We had to put Jonny to bed several times last night. First I heard him call out, when I was using the bathroom upstairs, when I tried to go in their bedroom, I couldn't open the door, because he was right infront of the door crouching on the ground....Was he sleeping by the door or playing in front of it. I went in and put Jacob back to sleep and put jonny back in his bed and told him not to get out.

Next Phil and I were in bed already and heard Jonny get up and go to the bathroom. Phil got up and told him to go back too bed....

Then, I was almost asleep myself and awoke to Jacob crying and some thumping...
When I got up to check it out...The lights were on in their room, Jonny was on his way down the stairs, Jacob was awake crying in his crib, the blankets from Jonny's bed were all off and things from under the bed were taken out.

I guess, when you're 3 and you're not sleepy, you can just play and wander the house when everyone else is asleep....

I know I used to just go straight to my parents room and hop in bed with them...

The past 3 nights have been full of craziness, Phil and I need to take naps to catch up!

I found it!
Pecan + Pretzel + Chocolate + delicious

Adrey gave these for Christmas and they were wonderful...Good one! Just like the Saltine cracker toffee, which is so much easier when I discovered that there are mini chocolate chips...you don't even have to chop the chocolate!

YUM!

Back at work :-(
Philip and I had a wonderful Christmas break with our boys. It was so nice to live life without thinking about work at all.

We had a nice and small Christmas celebration with our families. We missed you(The ones that didn't make it to Seattle this year)
We found time to go out on the town on some family outings(Thanks to MadsJuiceBren & their CityPass):
We visited the sea otters and the tropical fish at the Aquarium. - It was SOOO cold, but alot of fun. Jonny laughed and laughed at those cute sea otters.
We also visted the Seattle Center & Science Center - saw a lasershow, the holiday train, and rode some kiddie rides with Bren. Who wants to go to the Model Railroad show January 14th?
We finally saw the Bodies exhibit - very, very educational! Great day with Justin&Arlette and Junne&Jason.

The full bar at our house on New Year's Eve was very fun.

Happy New Year to YOU!!!! I think it's gonna be a good one.
