Glowing Hearts

I'm mommy-blogging from the couch in between commercial breaks during the super exciting 2010 olympics, and Lyndsey Vonn just finished her downhill course on one ski. All her competitors are crashing out. That's the latest from Vancouver. But back in FL, representing USA from mom's living room, the latest news around here is: the kidlets are asleep. All but one. Anakai is still wide awake.

She found and finished a hidden box of valentine chocolates without getting caught. [voice over: the thrill of victory] What gave her away was the disappointment of an empty heart shaped box that followed. [the agony of defeat] She mimics figure skating moves with Amanda Evora, and speed skating positions with Apolo Ohno. She loves the snowboarding red-head who wears stars on his scarf, Shaun White, and says,"Whowww, he's awwwesome."

Between the X-games a few weeks ago and the winter games now, the kidlets have been inspired to test their olympic potential. They've been streamlining their pink princess scooter techniques. Bouncing their pink & purple mini basketball, and kicking their shiny pink soccerball around. The games around here could not be pinker. I gotta say, little Brittany is pretty aggressive with the soccerball!

Now back to the games: On the half pipe finals Shaun White just earned another gold medal... threw a sweet double mc-twister when he didn't even need to. But by my side all snuggled up, my baby Anakai Ocean is finally asleep.

Blogging live from the couch, thanks for joining us. I'm da ma-ma. Good night.
