Kaden and I had a pretty typical day. Nothing really worth noting. BUT, if you have some time to kill at work or home, definitely hit up my new obsession Zuma! (MSN games) Best. Game. Ever.
Poor Stu is at practice right now which doesn't even start until 9:30 at night since it is Ramadan and the Muslims aren't eating until just before 7... makes sense that their bodies aren't really in prime fighting mode at 6:30... but it's awful for Stu who has to get up at 5:30 to go to work. So needless to say, he isn't getting much sleep. This weekend is his fight though, so after that he will get two weeks off from practice and will be able to rest more. Then Ramadan will get over so those of us Christian folk can eat food in public at normal hours, AND it will start to get cooler! What a great month October is going to be! Haha. Plus, my hubby is going to be celebrating his quarter-century birthday on the 5th! Big month, this October.
Sam brought us some really great watermelon this evening which was just wonderful of her. I am not sure if I blogged about my last watermelon experience or not. After getting a bunch of most-not-rotten ones, I opted for a pretty big whole melon and I sliced my knife into it and a thick, syrup ran out of it while a smell that could be described as nothing other than disgusting assaulted my nostrils. It was bad. And it turned me off of watermelon for a couple of weeks (to make sure it was in fact ALL rotten, I did the unadvised and tried some... Uhh, trust your nose on this one folks... if it smells rotten, DO NOT TASTE IT!)
Anywho, in other news, Rainy has made it home to Colorado for a visit with her family and Marcelo will soon be joining her for his first trip to the US. I am eager to see what he thinks of it (and how soon he will be joining Stu and I in good old North Idaho to open his Jui-Jitsu gym!)
Anyway, that's about it. Kaden got to spend some time on the webcam tonight with both Grandma and Grandpa Fox and Great Mimi, so that was good. We haven't had a lot of time to get on there recently... he did a little performing for the family with blowing kisses and clapping and saying "bye-bye" at the appropriate times. PLUS he got to sport his rockin' tye-dye outfit from Uncle Deven and Aunt Marcia. Very hip baby.

My watermelon experience this summer was one very strange thing. I cut into it, out ran some "juice" and when it finally was cut in half, there was NOTHING inside it! haha As if someone had already eaten it and just glued it back together! I took my receipt back to Wal Hell and got my money back. I bought another one and it turned out delicious! Go figure...now, what kind of alien might eat the whole inside and not open it...hummm...makes one wonder! Kaden is darling in his Deadhead Shirt! Very cute! Love you! Mimi and Papa
