So I was home for 12 days and blogged just twice...

Is it fair to say we were too busy? The past almost two weeks have flown by, we Schmidts packed quite a bit into our time off. Tomorrow's alarm is going to ring a little sooner than I want and back to the daily grind. Here are some photos of Xmas morning and later in the day at Auntie Shirley's -

Little man and the two things he wanted for Xmas - a Wii and a SpongeBob toothbrush - go figure.

Our baby girl looking very grown up.
Gramma Sharon and her kids - can't believe we got everyone to look at the camera.
The kids at Shirley's - note the gifts - it took us only three hours to open the gifts this year - a record for us. The sad thing is we cut back this year.

Did you buy the Wii in October, on eBay, or did you just get lucky? (urgh! I went to Best Buy four times, and gave up after I showed up 15 minutes before opening one Sunday in early December and there were 30 cars there already, when the manager told me there were only 10 Wiis coming in).

Ahhh, the joys of the season!

See you Tuesday, my friend!

Santa got the Wii from one of Allie's friends dads, we paid a little extra, but was kinda worth not having to stand in line. Then as soon as I paid up I found 10 of them at Best Buy aarrrggghhh. I should have called you.

We are having fun with the Wii. I am consistently getting my butt kicked in tennis by a 5 year old. Sigh.

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma...

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already. At our...
