It's been a while...

A couple of the guys at work mentioned to me today that it's been a while since my last post.

Well where do I start?

As I stare at my LCD monitor with the deep pen gouges from when Melanie drew on it last week with a biro pen, or as I tap away on my ice cream soaked keyboard I'm lost for a place to start.

Hmm yes funny that.

The ice cream is a new one. Looks like it's occurred early today and has been allowed to dry into sticky solids. Judging by the globs on the "t" "r" and "o" key and the big icecream stain that's oozed down the monitor and the big sticky patch on my nice timber floor, I'm guessing the kids have been spending the day playing their drawing and counting game on the computer.

We got this educational software from the SEDU the kids go to. It teaches the kids colour recognition, counting and lots of useful computer skills.

Bear in mind my kids are 4 and 6. I'm amazed at how well they have picked it up.

A $400 monitor and a $20 keyboard. cheap price to pay for teaching your kids to learn really. :-)
