Kin-ect!

Awesome title pun. Get it, because your kin is your family, right? Ooof, tough crowd!

You remember I mentioned the Xbox 360 Kinect last entry, well, here’s some additional shots from that night. See this is part of what’s cool about the Kinect. It has so many cameras built into it that while it shows you something on your TV indicating that you should look ridiculous, it can still detect whether or not you’re doing it right WHILE taking your picture… you know, so that you can see it later and be embarrassed!

Flap your wings, kiddo, fly like a bird!

Y-M-C-A!

The floor is lava!

Here we’re leaning a raft to move in a direction down some rapids. I’m not kidding.

In this game, Mommy and Daddy are actually trying to plug some leaks in an underwater room. Ian’s trying to plug up his nostril, apparently.

Look out, broadway.

Back to November…

As I mentioned in the previous entries, I published a few today to try and catch up a little bit. Be sure to scroll down so you don’t miss anything!

November 3rd, Ian gets his first homework assignment! See this image larger.

Mommy helped! See this image larger.

He had to count out 20 of something, in this case Goldfish crackers — hopefully he didn’t eat any of his homework. See this image larger.

Hi, pretty girl! See this image larger.

*Huh?* See this image larger.

I think this was the last of the head tilting on this particular run of it… hopefully the last. See this image larger.

November 4th, Daddy gets another new toy, the Xbox 360 Kinect. It uses your body’s shape as a controller. You can’t see it here, but it is just a camera that looks at what you’re doing with your limbs and interprets that into motion. Come on over sometime, I’ll show you how it works. See this image larger.

Ian attempts to pet a virtual kitty on the screen. See this image larger.

Here Ian attempts to teach his pet kitty, which he named Connor, how to do a trick that involves rolling on the floor. I know you’re thinking “how cute,” but it actually works. See this image larger.

From the Mommy Phone Archives, Part II

In the interest of trying to catch up, here’s another entry… I’ll do another tonight before I go to bed. Again, these are images pulled from the archives, so some of them are a bit older. Next entry we’ll be back to November 2010 again, I promise.

June 8th, 2010. Doctor’s visit for Nina, likely. See this image larger.

Melissa said Ian sat right down on this thing, picked up the controller and had at it like he was born to do so. See this image larger.

I’m not sure where he would have acquired such skills, but I will have a stern discussion with daycare to find out. 😉 See this image larger.

June 11th, 2010, I think he might be at the zoo. See this image larger.

Same. See this image larger.

August 11th, 2010. After a bad dream Ian spent the night in our bed and apparently used me as a pillow. See this image larger.

August 13th, 2010. Sleep like an egyptian. See this image larger.

August 15th, 2010. Nina looks like a little bucket of cute! See this image larger.

Same, but with Grandma Barb! See this image larger.

September 3rd, 2010, now we’re starting to catch up! See this image larger.

September 3rd, 2010, back at home! Cute imitates cute! See this image larger.

November 2nd, 2010, Nina’s first trip to the local Library! See this image larger.
