Jennifer’s sister Stephanie had a baby about last October, and this weekend Jennifer and Izzy went to Florida to participate in baby Sophie’s christening.  Since that meant the BOYS would rule the house, we moved the video games downstairs onto the good tv (as opposed to my late grandmother’s 20 year old console model in the attic), we ate pizza, popcorn and generally have had fun. 

(In the picture below, ERIC is actually playing H3 on the xbox360, Jake’s participating imaginatively with an xbox controller)

Note that Jake is wearing his Ninja Suit.  When he’s wearing it, he demands to be called “Ninja Boy”, not “Jake”.  I call him “Nuts”.  Unfortunately, the Curse of The Puking Kid struck again last night, with Jake coming upstairs to spew on me.  Luckily, he was fine this morning, so maybe it was just something strange he ate.  Then, this afternoon, Eric came home with a 100 degree fever, sniffles, etc.  Hopefully he’ll be better before Jennifer (and her parents) get home next week.

Why do the kids always get sick with ME?  I’m going out of town next time one of them starts feeling poorly.
