As Tommy and I have pretty much recovered from our illnesses, we agreed to let the boy have a friend sleep over as they are off for MLK Day tomorrow.

Anyway...it's been kind of interesting to observe what they're doing with their time tonight. In between watching 24 (which started late and threw the whole evening off by the way - damn NFL playoffs) and moving to another T.V. to watch my TiVo'd Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy I occasionally at least made an effort to check on things upstairs and make sure they weren't killing each other or driving Tommy crazy.

So anyway....they began the night playing electric guitars - loudly - two guitars on two amps. All the men in the house were happy.

Then they moved on to playing XBox Live for a couple hours before and after dinner. I could see they were driving Tommy crazy as he kept refilling his glass at the bar....so I suggested a break from XBox for a while.

They played pool after that. That didn't last very long since one of them wasn't having a very good night (I wont' say who).

In turn, they proceeded to play poker - Texas Hold 'em with bits of Hershey bars for chips. This lasted about 40 minutes.

Then more XBox Live.

Then they caught up on episodes of Family Guy and The Simpsons via recorded episodes on Scytheboy's computer media center technology.

A few minutes ago, I checked on them once more. They were in Scytheboy's room. There were army men laid out in strategic positions (green vs. gray) on top of the freshly made bed. They were using a Nerf gun to take out each other's men...apparently the rules are each sniper gets five shots.

I guess it goes to show you...no matter how much technology or fancy things like pool tables and foosball tables you have....they always fall back on the old standards...army men and Nerf guns.

I didn't even know he still had his army men........................
