Mad Birds

Little Guy is obsessed with Angry Birds.  A little over a year ago, he called them Mad Birds, I sort of miss that.  The downside of his Angry Birds obsession is we don't have smartphones or Ipads* so the kids used to only get to play when we were visiting relatives who did own said devices.  Not anymore.  For his birthday in January, Little Guy got this physical (picture below), build up blocks and launch a bird at them, board game version of Angry Birds.  He loves it.  And just recently he decided to save up his money for a different version.  (I've seen both at Target.)  Plus, we recently discovered this website where we can play online.  (And this one where you can play my favorite, Cut the Rope.)

Decorating for a pretend, Angry Birds-themed, birthday party.

I've spent all week printing out Angry Bird coloring pages for Little Guy who then colors them and insists I cut out all the birds and pigs.  We have dozens of Angry Bird bits of paper floating around our house.  So it was an awesome discovery at A.C. Moore (our local craft store) when we found Angry Birds coloring books for $1 each yesterday.  We got two.  I might need to go back for more since he's already colored a bunch of the pages.

*We're a little slow on these types of technological advancements.  It wasn't until earlier this week that Little Guy informed me the birds are angry because the piggies stole their eggs.  I seriously had no idea.

Little Guy has apparently become an expert on the computer. He's playing Tux Paint... a free, downloadable art program for kids.

Slump

I realize that it's been awhile since I've posted pictures, so I started to pick up where I'd left off time wise to post some pictures from early November. The problem is that my laptop (B will claim it is his, but he can't have TWO) has temporarily died. It doesn't recognize it's AC adapter anymore, which means it can't turn on. We've ordered a new AC adapter, but when I looked to see when it would be arriving, I noticed that even though we gave them our VA address, they mailed it to our old Kansas address. I need that computer specifically because that's where all the pictures are. Argh.
