NYC Holiday Trip Day 1
Next is our late lunch at Del Frisco's!!! What a treat! Finn and I had the Businessman Special (salad, 6oz filet mignon, mashed potato, dessert) and Jojo had the trio of filet (3 4oz filet with different toppings). Finn actually took about 2oz from my filet coz he didn't eat his potatoes =P
After that wonderful lunch we walked to Image Anime to look for a messenger bag for Jojo. We ended up buying his Naruto bag, my Sailor Moon bag and wrist band, and Finn's creeper head and Minecraft sword (^_^)
We planned on staying in the city til after dinner but we were carrying too much stuff already so we headed home. We'll do more stuff tomorrow =)
Changes
Also, we have new family members! Meet Scarlet (brown with red eyes) and Midnight (black with white streak). They're a few months old and we got them last Friday, Nov. 23, so that's gonna be their birthday (^_^) We bought more stuff for their cage today too. Cuties right?
Aid
At 1:30 today we started handing out goods to our neighbors in Elizabeth. Good thing Jojo was able to grab a few for me to give to friends who were devastated by Sandy. Makes you feel real good (^_^)
First Snow
Update: Guess I was wrong. Snow is starting to accumulate, and forecast says to expect maybe up to 2 inches. As long as it's only that and not more.
Getting gas
I hope other stations get their supplies soon and good luck to those in line for gas.

Half & Half
Half 2: School resumes on Monday and for Thurs. and Fri. they were supposed to have no classes because of the teacher's convention. The school super called earlier to say that they cancelled the convention so that the kids can have class instead to make up for the 2 extra days missed this week. But that means they still don't have any extra emergency days left. If they get snow days in winter, they'd either shave days off from spring break or extend the school days in summer :( Oh well.

Sandy Day 2
Good thing our stove top is gas and not electric coils so we were able to cook. For the first time in years I had to cook rice manually! Thank goodness it didn't burn =P we were also able to boil water for Jojo's coffee.
So what did we do today? Games! We played sungka, chess, checkers and air hockey. We also had some reading done.
Thankfully nothing bad happened in our neighborhood, the house is intact, everything in the backyard is secure. Raven didn't mind the storm one bit :)
So that's our frankenstorm experience. I hope the others affected by the storm are coping well.
Sandy
We're hoping it won't as bad here in our area but we're prepared. Hopefully there won't be any power cuts or water shortages. Stay safe east coasters!
Boo!
Let's see if I can insert a photo ... Hehehe. Ok, there it is.
That's it for this test post. Might see ya tomorrow :)
Six Flags
It’s Spring Break and first on our to do list is Six Flags. Jojo bought season passes for us, yay! Good thing because today we had very strong winds and they had to close quite a few of the rides for safety reasons. So we rode a few and caught the dolphin show and just had a leisurely stay. We can come back everyday if we want to during the summer (^_^)
100101
That’s Jojo’s binary age (^_^) He took the day off from work and we had lunch at Mambo Tea House. Then we went to NY after school and had dinner at Del Frisco’s. Happy Birthday!!! We love you!
Ten-ager
I have a ten-ager! Before he wanted to have a go-kart party but when we asked him to choose between more expensive presents and a party, he chose the presents =P That’s why he got a flat screen TV to replace his tube TV and an iPhone 3GS. So for some sort of celebration, we went to the Liberty Science Center yesterday. He loves it there.
First we watched the Tornado Alley movie at their IMAX dome theatre. This Wild Winds booth was outside.
Finn is tall enough to try walking on i-beams.
He loves rock climbing but this one goes across instead of up.
Today we ate in Mitsuwa and just bought an ice cream cake for home.
HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY FINN!!!!
