It's Jeremy's Birthday!!!

He's officially old, so we went to a movie.

It was Avatar, it was good!!!

I don't think I have heard anyone say it isn't good actually. I loved it and will probably be buying it when it comes out on DVD.

Why I'm greatful for DVD's

And no, I'm not changing to Blue-ray... as soon as I get all the movies I want it will just change again. Soooo I'm going to try to wait it out till the next change and save the money of having to replace a whole movie library twice. I'm so smart! :P

Anyhow, recently Jer borrowed some older VHS from my mother in law. Last night, guess what happened? Ya, EB figured out the actual "tape" comes out of the VHS. LOL Anyhow, I'm truly grateful that by far the majority of our movies are on DVD. They are so much more resilient! And less drawing for little fingers!

I have no clue how my parents did it when we were little and actually retained some VHS clear through till we were old enough to replace them ourselves. :)

Movie Obsessions

So Goober has a new movie he wants to watch constantly. It's a movie that his Grandma S has (and the kids will be getting from a certain man in red towards the end of December). It's the perfect "quiet" movie because of the near nonexistent script. Most of the movie you can watch without sound and get what is going on.... yeah for those times when the whole house is asleep except for the kids and myself (weekend mornings people!) and I try really hard not to let them wake people up on one of the only "sleep in" days of the week.

The movie is Wall-E.

Goober is obsessed enough to even draw pictures for your entertainment value... and this is a kid that does not like to color! And he drew both of them at least seven times... and this without prompting!

Wall-E:

Eve-uh:

Anyone know where MY kid went??? :D

My "I'm NOT Mommy" Day :)

Ok, so a while back some of my "Mommy Friends" and I decided we needed a day sans kidlets... you know, to just be US and not have someone asking "mommy" for things all day long. And what a good time to bring the idea up cause Nat was having her birthday soon!!!! Great excuse! So Saturday off we went to Nat's mom and dad's house (Hellllooooooo Neighbors!) for some "I'm Not Mommy" time.
Poor Nat injured herself the day before someing something UBER exciting. So Kar had to pick her up cause nat's knee mad her not be able to even drive. ugh.
We spend most of the day chatting up a storm... though technically we did have a movie going... we just weren't watching it :)

Arin made bows (she is hiding behind some unfinished ones).

Here is Nat aka "Gimpy" for the day playing with her cam, and Arin gluing.

And Gluing some more....

and CUTTING!!! Imagine!

Who stinks? ;0)

And here is Kar making cards :) her cards turn out so cute!

After vegging for a while and talking our heads off and watching Youtube videos for a while we went to see "Mama Mia" at the theater. it was really cute.. though if you are going for the singing expertise keep in mind that big ACTING names and singing don't usually go hand in hand :D I have to admit I was a little embarrased for Pierce Brosnan a couple of times ... :P

After the movie we went out to Wingers and Nat got a HUGE free desert due to turning a year older :)

Arin unfortunatley forgot her camera.... little did she know it was in her van!! She found it as we were about to head home.

These girls are so much fun! I'm really glad we got to hang out all day... and wish we had had a whole lot more time to laugh and giggle and goofy things. I definately want to do this again!

Kung Fu To YOU!

So today my wonderful mother took me and my two oldest kidlets to go see Kung Fu Panda.

Little Li stayed with my awesome Mother-in-law so that I might actually get a chance to pay attention to the movie :) Thank you!!!

Anywho, this is a way cute movie and I would very much recommend it. Goober and Missy both were inthralled by it... I didn't get one "can we go home?" or "I'm bored" or "I need to use the potty!" (x10) ... they sat and for the most part watched the movie :)

I'd heard this movie was good. And they were right :) planning to buy this when it comes out on DVD.

I love how it addresses things like not being comfortable with who you are, wanting to be someone your not, and of course being the best YOU that you can be.

Way cute. Go see it... sans babies if possible. You AND your older kids will love it. :D

TMNT.... the old one.

OK, so today Jer took the kids for 3 hours. All three of them... not just at home, out. GO JER!! :)

Anywho, while he was out with the kidlets he bought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for G. Can we say TIME WARP. Holy crap have you seen the special effects? How did we actually think that was good.... EVER. The "hot babe" reminds me of my sisters styles when they were in high school, and the Shedder totally reminds me of a Darth Vader wanna be! And I'm sorry but the "tough guys" in that movie are just lame.

I couldn't watch it, I had to leave. It was wounding my soul! Oh the terror... please, oh please don't let this be G's next favorite movie... have MERCY!

Vegging Out.

The kids watching Night at the Museum. :o)
