So Puzzle Quest hasn’t been played much yet, due to time constraints with work and the fact that I try to play that when Xander and enjoy it with me.  I play so many games that aren’t child friendly, that I tend to hoard the ones that are for playing with/in front of them.

Picked up Rainbow Six Vegas 2 today for multiplayer fun this weekend with the group I play with.  Played through a little bit this evening and they’ve done a really great job improving on the game.  The first one was great, but from what I’ve played so far, this one looks to be even better.

I also picked up the new Gears of War set, which includes all the downloadable content available so far.  I’m going to try to get around to playing it before Gears of War 2 comes out.

In order to do that, I need to finish my way through GTA IV.  There is just so much to do in that game though, I keep getting distracted from the main plot.

The Puzzle Quest expansion comes out today, so the fact that I’m writing this from work is pretty impressive, I’d say.  Xander and I are both looking forward to the new content.  More info after I’ve had a change to play it some tonight.

We’ve been slack.  I admit it up front.  The kids had their first trip to the dentist today.  Focusing on the positive though, they both did a great job, even though they were nervous about it.  They waiting nicely for their turn, and then they did an amazing job sitting in the chair.  They didn’t have any problems at all, and Mira was super patient while they did her x-rays, since they were having trouble getting the film to stay in her mouth properly.  Best of all, no cavaties for either of them!

Happy 4th of July!  We’ve had a great day just hanging out at home together.  We went outside to watch the fireworks, but it was looking pretty unlikely.  It was very foggy and humid out.  So at the last minute we pilled into the car and drove downtown to see what we could see.  We ended up watching from a parking lot through the trees, but enough of the fireworks were high enough that they kids had a great time anyway.   They are upstairs trying to calm down for bed now.  It was a lot of fun.  Hopefully next year we’ll just plan to go to the park to start with.
