The month of September this McCulloch family is going to have a grain challenge. It includes eating more grain focused foods. No we are not going to cut out meat completely, b/c that’s disgusting. But we are going to get more grain and oats.. so who has any ideas or proven recipes, because some of these don’t sound too good. Some these kinda do though. So far I thought to have spaghetti with whole wheat noodles, and some whole grain cereal.
Who wants to take the challenge with us?
Feeding my addiction last night I played Gino in battle tanks for “practice”. It would’ve been a pretty standard game except for the fact that Gino hadn’t learned the lesson that Cotton taught me. Watch this:
I found this on someone else’s blog, and thought it was interesting. I have noticed that people here in Utah call it “pop.” I’ve wondered if it’s weird for them to hear me say “soda,” because I sure think it’s weird to hear it called “pop!”
Saturday is draft day for McNFL, in case anyone involved has forgotten, the LIVE draft begins at 12pm eastern 10am mountain time. This will be the first year we have a live draft and I am eager to see how many people show. The draft determines where the best players will end up so your whole season can start off very well or very wrong depending on the choices made under the pressure of the clock! See you all tomorrow….
These two enjoy spending time together. Often that entails baby Charlotte gazing at Chase as he runs and bounces around the room.
But they also like to cuddle together…
They play with trains together…
And they play “store” together. Chase always gets to be the cashier. (Little hats all courtesy of Chase.)
Just in time to catch this youtube video before leaving for home… I liked this song. Well done random guy. Is it me or does UK have better “you’ve got talent” than us..
If you’re not cleaning pee tonight, come play co-ed softball! 6:30pm and maybe game two at 7:30pm. My ward is looking for some extra players. Call or comment if you want to play.
Thanks to everyone who came last night. It was a lot of fun and a really close game. Because of a pair of forfeits yesterday our game will be moved up to 6:30pm tomorrow. If we win, we play right afterwards at 7:30pm. Let me know if you get this email and whether or not you can play this evening. Also, let me know if you are able to invite anyone to play.
The games are at the churches softball fields out by springville walmart. Just go west on Center street and turn left on 950 West.
This little person peed down the air vent AGAIN.
Ok females, and metro guys, I’m sick and tired of hearing warnings about becoming addicted to World of Warcraft. I don’t play World of Warcraft or any other video game that I can’t leave and help with kids in the middle of!! Do I get competitive and want to finish a game even it means staying up late, yes, but I’m the one who decided to start playing at midnight after the family is asleep in the first place. If I cared more about video games than life, then I would just stay at work late and play from there and not answer the phone when the wife calls. SERIOUSLY! Playing video games for a few hours each week after going to work, helping to clean the house, mowing the yard, and helping with the kids is NOT a bad thing. Joy are you concerned with my involvement with the family? Oh look, no she isn’t.
AND while I’m ranting, everyone who has a friend who plays video games, PLEASE just google the freaking game before you talk about it. Here try this one, World of Warcraft, and Warcraft III. Can anyone tell me the difference!?
World of Warcraft (looks like this) is an always on role playing game also known as a MMORG. To play it you join an online community and you spend hours building an alternate life. It was also mentioned in a great article about being addictive and a waste of life (I agree).
Warcraft III (looks like this) is a real time strategy game where one opposing force eliminates the other. When that happens the game is over. You can start and end the game at anytime, if you end early then you forfeit and have to hear about it from Gino for a long time afterwards. You get to control many aspects of the game’s timing, and there is a pause button. I play Warcraft III and I’m proud of it. Negating an offensive that Nathan spent minutes planning fills my testosterone loving man heart to overflowing.
So, with that said, PLEASE parents, girlfriends, wives, and everyone else do your homework on video games and play responsibly. Don’t waste time locked up in a dark room all day playing single player games. And don’t skip any family activities to gather ore in the hills of stupid place with your guild… don’t even be in a guild. Just play fun video games for fun and make sure you support the ones with pause buttons. And quit ruining my life!
Charlotte and I went on our first daddy daughter date. It was a short date, we went to the couch, then fell asleep. I had fun, and I told her we could do it again sometime.
