eBay, MILK and Paper People

What??? Do any of these things go together? Sort of. So for those of you who have never experienced bidding on ebay, let me tell you, it can get pretty intense. Laugh if you will, but any time I do it, I get so caught up in the bidding that my heart is beating like crazy when it is all through and if we won the item, it is time to celebrate, if we didn't win, you feel really let down and disappointed. And what gets people is that when your in the bidding race you get so into it that you often spend more than you say you would, because you just don't want to lose! We have only done this a couple of times, but it is really fun. Ross finds a lot of parts for his chopper on ebay for a really good deal, and this was the case a couple of days ago. He wanted to bid on two different items that were ending at the same time! So we set up a command post, I was on one computer, Ross was on the other, ready to bid and WIN!! I know it sounds a little silly, but for me, I don't even care about the thing I am trying to get, actually I don't even know what I am bidding for most of the time, and I still get into it!! So we sat down with about five minutes to go. We checked on the kids, they were both playing fine, so the bidding began. Long story short, we were successful! So Ross spent his Christmas cash on chopper parts, Mom and Dad:) And is very excited about it. As we were in the midst of craziness talking to each, I kept hearing the refridgerator door open. As many of you know, Max LOVES milk and he often goes into the fridge and brings you the gallon of milk. Well, while we were busy, he did this:





All he said was, "look, mom-mom, daddy, MILK!!" It was hilarious. And two of those are full!! He's a pretty strong little dude who really wants his milk.

As for the paper people, I am changing the subject. Zoey has started this, all on her own, and we may be sending one to YOU in the near future. She takes paper and cuts or rips out bodyparts (like body, head, arms, legs, ears, etc) and puts them together with tape or staples to make characters and people!! And she puts faces on them. Sometimes she makes a ball for them to carry or kick. They are really good. So here they are, it might be a little hard to see, but you get the picture:
