We beat Super Mario Brother's on the Wii!!!

After lots of frustration, swearing, finger cramps, blisters, dreams of mario, etc. Yes I know we are pathetic. If you have every played this game you will understand. . . it's awesome. It's just like the old school nintendo super mario brother's. So much fun.

Before you stop reading let me explain...

After finishing Shawn's last semester of his under grad he has found himself with a lot of free time. Here are some of the things he has said to me over the last couple of weeks:

Me: So I was looking at our wedding photographer's website and they have the cutest pictures of little babies. So I want one, a baby, NOW.

Shawn: NO you don't Ang. Being a stay at home mom is not all it's cracked up to be. It's hard work. I mean I did all the grocery shopping yesterday, did all the laundry today, took maggie on a walk, I'm making your brother's dinner tomorrow . . . and it's hard. You're not going to like it as much as you think. . .
hahaha

That was my favorite. . . but here are some good quotes by my awesome husband.

• "I don't know what I want to be"
• "I hate being a grown up"
• "I suck at life"
• "maybe I should go into ______" (fill in the blank, guarantee he said it)
• "Ang I have been really busy all day, I beat 3 worlds on super mario brothers"

There were lots of other things he said, but I have a really bad memory. Here are MY highlights of Shawn's 2 weeks of being a stay at home dad (to our dog maggie).

• cooking
• laundry
• grocery shopping (my cute visiting teacher found shawn lost at walmart and helped him with a couple of items he could not find)
• Lots of cleaning
• soccer playing
• coaching
• reading
  
• playing with Maggie
• Super Mario Brother's
• job interviews
• researching adopting (for the future, Haitian babies are my recent obsession. I can not stop thinking about all of these poor kids who are now parentless)
  
• Last but not least he FOUND A JOB

Yay!!! Shawn has been looking for something part time, because we can not give up his coaching. He gets paid to do something he loves & it really isn't work to him. So why quit? Shawn is going to be working for the U doing advertising for the school newspaper. He is pretty excited about it.

And so you see I had to get super mario brother's so shawn wouldn't be bored out of his mind. . . and yes I had to play it with him when I got home from work at night, on the weekends & first thing in the morning. Pretty much it's made our marriage stronger. . . or something. . . Okay? Don't judge us!
