finishing my PTA work and off to see Tropic Thunder.  I’ll write a review tomorrow.

JJ is great.  Kids are great.  Gma is great.  Tax free shopping is great.  Life is great.

more later sorry so brief.

GJ Phelps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a week it has been!  We have had a busy week so far.  It seems it will only get busier.  We haven’t even started advertising.  I can only imagine how busy it will be once we get the word out. 

I’m sorry this is short but before I open today I want to canvas the businesses with our food to go menu.  I will promise to post pics soon.  Keep and eye on our website www.junglejavaplay.com for coupons.  WE will be posting some soon.

Time to make the donuts……………….

OK I have been promising pictures from our trip back to Milford.

Ah and one of the most beautiful reasons I selected this home site.  Always gorgeous!

Tomorrow is our first day off since we have been here.  WE have been working all day and haven’t had any chances to see any of our friends.  Can’t leave the kids all day to leave them again to meet up with everyone.  We did have Sat. Night.  Tomorrow we have some errands to run.  We have to go to the SS office.  Texas has a 2-3 hour wait while RO has a 5 minute wait.  We all have dentist appointments tomorrow at 2.  Then we are going to spend some time with my dad.  I’m hoping to get to see some people next week.  We should be done  training soon.  I think we almost have it all down.  I’m so excited to get back home and start getting things ready.  I can’t wait to see how far the construction has come along.

Gregg got away tonight.  He is at the Piston playoff game.  Good news is they are winning right now.  I think we are going to take the kids to the Tigers/Red Sox game.  oh there is a dilemna.  Which team to root for???  Go Sox!

Still hoping to get to Ann Arbor.  I always love to go back to U of M and see how the campus has changed.  REad that they had graduation in the Diag.  Want to see the carnage.    I also want to get to Royal Oak and see all the new bars and restaurants.  What a great place.  I do miss RO.  It was fun to take the kids for dinner and walk around.

So much to do so little time!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gregg is going to post the video later tonight.  I think.

Here are some pics from the last week or so.

Here are some Easter pics.  This is the egg hunt from school.

This is the Easter at the Sippel’s and the egg confetti fight.  I think Sarah declared me the winner.

These pics are of Practice(blue sky) and the game.

 OK this is wrong.  It says there are zero people with my maiden name, Champe.  OK I can understand that there may be 0 Nicole Champe’s but to say I have no family members with the last name Champe is just wrong.

6  Noah Henson’s

0 Cooper Henson   (apparently no one is named Cooper)

8 Gregg Henson’s

There are 81 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

I still have to let this roll through my mind but a few things that stick out are……………………

It seems obvious that we are dealing with some sort of time rift.  This is evident in the “pay load” and when Danny told the pilot to go back the way he came and by NO MEANS vary.  No matter what!!!!  I wonder if Naomi will come back to life.  I still wonder if those flashbacks weren’t flash forwards(from the newbies, except for Naomi).

Who are thesse people that Sayid is killing.  The first guy he called Avion which means airplane.  He has to have somehting to do with either the airline or the “island.”  My guess is island.  I would think that someone with the airline would have recognized Sayid right off.

Ben.  I’m wondering if Ben isn’t some rouge spy.  But when would he have had his training.  Unless of course the others were a covert spy group and we all know Ben joined them.  Perhaps they were trying to develop some special program there.  It would kind of explain how Ben had dossiers on every person on the island.  It would also explain why they sent a govt. agent to extract him.  He must have gone rouge.  but why.  Did he discover Jacob and after that everyone followed him?  Still too much specualtion there.

The list.  More on that.  Ben said that Sayid had to kill these people in order to keep his friends safe.  Perhaps these are the people that know the island exists and that there are people there.  Perhaps Sayid is trying to keep Locke and everyone who stayed safe.  Ben loved that Island more than anyone so that would make the most sense.  He didn’t want to leave and maybe he plans on going back once everyone that knows about the island is elimintaed.  Wouldn’t that make a nice ending to Lost.  Everyone is reunited on the island. 

Oh I hope the show does end overall on a happy note.  I hate to think of Jack and Hurley living a miserable life.  I’m sure I will have more ideas and thoughts after I sleep on it.  If you have anything to share please add.

Noah has inherited his love of movies from his father.  I enjoy movies as most of you have seen from my post a few weeks ago.  The problem is I don’t like going to the theater.  I like to relax at home and watch a movie.  It’s not very relaxing going to the movies with a 2 1/2 year old.  Noah can do it just fine but not Cooper.  Noah took us to see the Waterhorse and that Wonder Emporium movie.  Both were OK but I think I will wait until Alvin and The Chipmunks come to the dollar theater.  (:

It was a quiet night on the path last night.  It was way too cold for anyone to play outside.  We didn’t even get a poker game going.  Just about one child in each house has the cold/flu.  We just stayed in and had game night.  Noah had to learn to lose with grace.  He was not happy when Cooper won the first game of Backyardigans.  Gregg had to talk to Noah about winning and losing.  I ws laughing to hard on the inside when Noah started crying.  The poor thing.  It’s hard learning life’s lessons.  Noah won the next game and showed grace.  I won the Chutes and Ladders game and taunted them all.  Oh please, I am just kidding.

Poor Taggert had to go to the hospital last night.  Troy took him over to S and W and he was treated right away.  Poor thing has croup.

Oh yeah!  By 2:30 on Monday when I was done cleaning the first floor I did a little happy dance!  Now I am looking forward to tomorrow.  Cooper was fine when i picked him up from school.  The teacher said he had to rub his back to get to sleep at nap.  Coop is unlike Noah in that he only wants to sleep in his crib.  Coop had tons of fun when we went camping in a tent in November but would not sleep in the tent.  I had to call Gregg to come and get him.  He won’t even sleep in my bed.  If I try to put him down(aka when I am lazy and tired) in my bed he wants to go upstairs to his crib.  Others have told me that he will get use to sleeping on the mat in a bit.  Coop even mentioned that he has a friend, Caleb.  I’m going to see if that is true.  They always talk a great game.  I never know what to believe.

I was cooking tonight when I thought of my greatest products.  I love that “press and seal” wrap.  I didn’t believe that it would really stick to anything but this stuff is great.  It clings to tupperware.  amazing stuff.  My all time favorite product is the Magic Eraser.  WOW!  I like to buy the extra strength one because it has a scour pad attached which makes it extra durable.  If you have used a Magic Eraser you know they can break down quickly.  This is the only thing that I can find that cleans Corian like no ones business.  One more thing.  When we bought Milford we guilt it ground up.  Shoot I selected the color of the grout.  I had the bathroom completely tiled.  Nowadays tile is almost obsolete.  Sure the walls are tile but they put this weird material on the floor of the shower.  I had it in Austin and in the house in Philly and again in Austin.  The Magic Eraser is the only thing I found that can clean this rumpy bumpy surface.  It is truly amazing. I have tried other products but they won’t even put a dent in the scuzz.  The Magic Eraser is a wonder product.

AAAHHHH it is nice to have a clean house 2 days in a row.  This preschool/daycare thing is really making me and my hosue feel good.  Tomorrow I clean the bedrooms and bathrooms and Friday I paint the kitchen.  Finally!

My mother has already broken one of her resolutions.  What do you think of Cooper’s hair?  My mother saw the picture of Coopy on Gregg’s lap(1st pic in post below) and said his hair is too long.

I think he looks adorable.  My mom thinks he looks like a cute girl.  What are your thoughts regarding his hair and boys hair in general?
