February Recap

Boy have I been MIA this month! Seems like I have been running from one activity to another and trying to keep up with the chores around the house in between...I guess blogging wasn't on that to-do list. I did take some pictures of some of the stuff we have been up to though so I will share what I have.

The spouses were invited to go for a ride on the KC10...

We got to sit in the cockpit and also down in the boom compartment. What a great view!

For Valentine's Day M and I constructed a VDay box for his friends to put his goodies in....a giant lego.

We took advantage of the wonderful weather over furlough week and spent many hours outside.

We also loaded up with a good friend and her 3 boys and went down to the Sausalito Bay Area Discovery Museum. The boys enjoyed running around playing in the learning centers and also playing on the playground. 

N also got lots of swing time, he has mastered sitting on a big boys swing!

I escaped from the house and went on a day trip to Napa with some of the girls in the squadron. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time trying some new wineries.

After the Napa trip I hurried back to watch the boys receive their advancements in cub scouts.

J got his wolf patch.

M got his bear patch.

That wraps up February, we are leaping into March tomorrow...hopefully I can keep up with the blog and projects around the house a little better.

What's on Your DVR?

Oh gosh its been way to long since the last blog post, so maybe I will write about something I use everyday...my DVR.

Technology today has really become a convenience factor for our everyday life. Personally it has changed the way I do a lot of my everyday activities. Working out of the elliptical has become a lot more enjoyable thanks to the Ipad and Netflix...watching all those tv series that I didn't catch the first time around. Likewise when I have to take N somewhere that he will be expected to sit quietly I bring out the Iphone and bring up a kids show on Netflix for him to watch or a game he likes to play.

Another staple in our busy schedule is using the DVR to record all our favorite shows, I rarely watch any shows "live" and get frustrated when I actually do and reach for the remote when a commercial comes on and I try to fast forward through it usually goes something like this. "Stupid remote, why aren't you working...batteries check...input check...oh ya its a live show...ummm, I wonder if there is something on the DVR I would rather watch and I'll just record this and watch it later..."

Lets see what's on the DVR today, and lets not judge ;). Recorded daily are House Hunters, Nate Berkus, and General Hospital.  Recorded on a weekly basis are Property Brothers, CSI, How I Met Your Mother, Law and Order, Love it or List It, The Voice, Two and a Half Men, Chopped, NCIS, Unforgettable, Are You There, Chelsea, Suburgatory, Revenge, Person of Interest, Grimm, Grey's Anatomy, Up all Night, Private Practice, and Saturday Night Live...what to watch, what to watch...

However, lately my DVR has had a lot of open space. Two of my long time soaps have been cancelled and some of the evening shows have been reruns which has shrunk the amount of shows that need my attention...I picture my DVR like the plant in Little Shop of Horror...."Feed Me!!" So do you guys have any suggestions on what to feed my DVR? Or maybe I should re-start my obsession with reading...that would probably be good too...although it is harder to pause the storyline in my head when I read.
