march twentyfour: nothin', really.

today has looked like nothin'.
we started out with Magic School Bus-- Inside Ralphie, because the babes have had a relapse with this damned cold. sheesh. no sickness all through winter, and now the same damned thing again and again.

Trevy has been preparing himself for the worst, these last few days. his 'tendo ds was sent to the shop. he's been worried. "I just hope Nintendo has seen worse things than this..." he kept saying, "like broken keys or something... that's worse, right?" poor Bud.
of course we've been tracking and checking in with Nintendo (so he can see how the whole process works, you know), and finally on Monday they just said "returned", and "here's your tracking number....". no news other than that. other than it says on their website that cracked screens and physical damage (uh... would that include biting and then a few days later accidentally dropping it?) were not covered. so, needless to say, we were nervous.
good thing our UPS guy comes at about 11am, otherwise we'd probably have had strokes.
and the verdict?
a new system was sent to us.
Little Son (and his Mama) says that Nintendo is quite okay with us.

so of course that took up a bit of Trevy's day, today.
an' he quite forgot about his wretched headache and sniffles.

what else nothin'?

Maddie's puzzle she created yesterday.
