Kids Activities

Guest post of the week by Moises Henderson

Four years ago, I quit my job as a nurse to stay home with our four kids. I love staying at home with them, but I told my husband yesterday that I need a break. Two of our kids are in school and the other two kids are home with me full time. Every day I look forward to my husband getting home. It is not that I don’t love staying home, but I enjoy it so much when my husband is there with me to share responsibilities. None of our kids have ever been good nappers, so I get very little down time during the day. I have been trying to come up with creative ways to keep the kids entertained, especially since it has been so cold outside lately. A friend of mine told me to search “wireless internet Kennewick” so we could get internet. I think I will because that will allow me to find some activities for them online. I never knew that being a stay-at-home mom would be such a challenge, but I must say that it is the most rewarding challenge I have ever encountered.

Daddy's Operation

It's been a torture for the two boys yesterday as we waited for Daddy's operation to get it over with. It took three hours for the surgery to finish, and we are glad that everything went fine, although there is not really much to worry about because it's only a minor surgery but we don't really know what might could have happen.

Anyway, the kids were so bored to death waiting in the lobby. Good thing that i brought their nintendos with us and that's what made them occupied for just a bit. The big brother got tired playing and decided to read newspapers in the lobby and the little one decided to play my iphone. So here's the photos i got during our long wait at the lobby. Luckily, there was a vending machine by the hallway and bought the kids some treat that made them happy. After few minutes of walking back and forth, Daddy came out from the room and we're ready to go home. The kids fell asleep in the car as i drove them back home.

Medical Malpractice

A friend of mine asked me if i can help her to look for a medical malpractice insurance quote. I have no idea why she wants me to look for certain things but i am glad i was able to help her and found some. She said that her husband's friend wanted to sue the doctor for doing such malpractice. He went to the said doctor and found out that there was something wrong after the surgery, something was not right. So they want to file a case against the said doctor. Good thing that nothing happened to my friend's husband, because it was the same doctor who operated to her husband's friend. How scary.

Data Storage Systems

Before i got introduced to a technology world of external hard drive, i used to just save all my data files in the CD. But when i learned about the external hard drive, i was so happy that finally, i get to save all the data files in one gadget, not one two or three CD's that i have to store all my files, particularly the photos. Especially now that my photos are big files for i am using the DSLR's that makes big files of images.

But then when i told my friends about how happy i am i got my EHD, someone said that it isn't even enough to store all my pictures because the thing could break anytime, just like what happened to her. She trusted all her life to EHD and suddenly it broke on her. She was devastated and very upset because she couldn't retrieve her data files in it. So from then on, she started using data storage systems that made her feel safe since then.

What it does is she store all her data files outside from her computer, EHD or any other type of storage things. The advantage is, she can just go to her account there and look for the files she wants to pull out and she can do that anytime, even if she is not using her own computer or bringing along the EHD with her.

Redfeather Snowshoes

My first born child can't wait to go sledding again this year. He keeps on bugging me about it although he knew there is not much of a snow here in our town yet. And the other thing is, i don't have redfeather snowshoes yet as well, and i have to go and buy myself one. I already got him last year and he did like it because he was the one who chose the color and style. I have never done sledding before not until my son got interested about it, and i guess i will be doing this every year from now on.

Yoyo From Santa

I guess i still have plenty of time to shop for the boys's presents! Although i know that stores nowadays are getting crowded because of most people doing their Christmas holiday shopping, still i am not that worried because most of the things that i really like to shop is online. Just like the yoyos that my first born child listed in his Christmas wishlist to send it to Santa. For i know Santa has already something for him, it wouldn't be that much if i will cover it instead. But, of course i wouldn't tell him it came from me, i will still put label on it that it was from Santa so he won't get disappointed :)

The Delicate Arch In Moab Utah

The last time we've been to this very amazing work of nature was when MD was only about the same age as his little brother. I was so amazed by this piece of big rock on top of the mountain in Moab, Utah. You just have to realize how did the nature do this "Delicate Arch" as they call it. Really, it'll blow your mind away because, it's only the wind, rain and probably earthquake can make such a magnificent work of art. The rock itself is beautiful because of its vivid orange color. Unfortunately, i could not find the picture when the last time we've been to this place. But then, it wasn't as good as this pictures below though for i was only using a point and shoot camera then.

But last Sunday, i was so happy that unexpectedly we again, went to this place. It was actually an unplanned trip going there, but because it was on the way as we head home, we decided to just might as well stop by. Although we didn't hiked the three mile up all the way to that Arch in the background, still i am happy enough that i got some snaps of it using my 18-200 mm lens. I am surprised that i didn't hear the kids whine, not one bit. In fact, they enjoyed the one mile hiking part and back. Really, i am very happy to have our family pictures taken on this place. This arch is mostly seen by the vehicles's license plate numbers here in Utah.

Dakine Backpack

There's one thing in my wishlist that i would really really want to have, the dakine backpack. So i can store every electronic gadgets i have whenever we go somewhere. I would love to have my things organize during trips so i don't have to find it everywhere in the suitcase. Just like my cheapy backpack i got, all my personal things are in it but then since it is not as durable like my wish to have, i would be so happy if ever it will be replaced soon by the backpack i have been longing to own.
