2 days with Spore
10:11 AM
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! I have been looking forward to the release date of Spore for two years now and I let it slip. I guess somewhere in my head I new it was 9/7 but I didn't associate that date with Sunday. I figured the game would drop on a Tuesday like everything else. I stopped by a store Monday on my way home and picked up the last copy. It took a LONG time to install so I didn't get to start playing until 1:40AM.
I started playing an herbivore. Tuesday morning once Link was sleeping Emma and I went to work building a tribe of Zippities. She enjoys watching them interact with each other and the different species that populate the game world but she doesn't want to play for too long so we went and read for a while afterwards.
Tuesday night I was able to log a bit more time and I created a carnivore named Crococrotch. I took this species all the way through the Tribal stage. He is a vicious killer. Raptor claws, wings, a poison spitter, claws, and of course a giant crocodile mouth located...on its crotch! Here is a link to my creations so far. You can actually see how our creations evolved over the course of the game which is pretty cool. I have a lot of work to do tonight so I probably won't have a chance to play much for the next couple days. Do I play Spore Friday night or stick with TF2 which is my usual Friday night activity? Tough decisions I know :P
Tomorrow is Emma's FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!!! I fully plan to continue a tradition my mom stuck with for our entire scholastic career and take a picture of her out on the front porch. I'll post it tomorrow.
P.S.
The coolest thing just happened. As I was typing the previous paragraph Emma walked over and says "So you are writing my name in there?" I confirmed and asked her to show me her name on the screen. She did. I was amazed. It may have been a fluke but it was pretty cool. Her brother is trying to eat the leg of a chair so I better go.

I remember those first day school photos. A great way to remember your child's history. Also, Emma's a bright girl - she must have the spelling gene from her family tree.
Where's Emma's picture from this year?
