Can I post now?

So I did not want to immediately run to the computer and post "GIANTS RULE" after the game...so I waited....and waited...and then the power went out...then I got busy....and so here we are on Thursday night...a full 4 nights after the superbowl. We had a great party...mainly because of three major things. First, because the Giants won. Second, the fact that it was a great game and we had a great group of people watching the game with us....everyone got into the swing of it by the end. Third, Gina and Rich (huge props guys!!) brought the best wings I have had in a loooong time from a little bar/restaurant in Escazu called Chi Chi's....no Mike...no relation to the crappy Mexican place in crapchester. They even served it with blue cheese dressing (not Ranch), carrots and celery sticks! It was the perfect side to go with all those heaps of sweet victory. The best part is we had a few Patriot fans in the house. You might be able to pick them out in the pictures....they tend to be the really refined ones drinking wine at a stuperbowl party. They were really letting me have it with about 2 mins to go ;-) Good thing that didn't last very long! Lastly, as you can see, all the kids settled in to watch Aladdin...somehow they ended up with the bigger of the two TVs....how about that sports fans!


On a separate note, Payton's eye is still getting better. It is a little red still but definitely better. The pre-op picture on the left shows it the night before we went in. The top right Payton pic shows it the day after we took off the bandage and the lower right picture is from a few days after that. If you click on that one you will notice that she has many scars on her face....it has been a tough couple of weeks for Payton. First, a month or so ago she fell against the coffee table and cut the inside of her top lip with two of her teeth. Unfortunately one of those actually cut through her lip which is why she has that scar. Then she had her Cyst...and then finally the day we got her bandage off she fell while we were walking and the nose rest on her sunglasses punctured her forehead. All three were pretty major injuries....we are trying to get her to slow down but she just refuses for some reason ;-) Finally, the last picture is of the two kiddos the day that daddy was in charge. After getting them dressed they both wanted their hair done....so this is what we ended up with. I do think it was the first time I ever did Payton's hair...I have a lot to learn!
FYI - tomorrow is the first day of school in CR. Kade gets a new teacher as he will now be in pre-kinder and Payton will be going to school for her first time!!! Big day tomorrow...I bet the kiddos sleep in ;-)
