Helloooooo Harry!!!!!!!!!!!!! & Matthew!!

Well today is the day! Today is the day that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is released and it's killing me that I must be patient and wait 6 more days before seeing it! I'm not sure if I can contain myself from hopping into my car and going to a late show and seeing it. But I will! I will because the thought of us all going together on Thanksgiving Day for our annual movie outing is too good to pass up! So..6 more days until I can soak myself up in another Harry Potter movie!!

And...did you hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG my man..Mr. Matthew McConaughey is People Magazine Sexist Man!!! I could not possibly agree more!!! I turn to mush not only when I see him but hear him talk!! Now to figure out a way for him to notice me and give Penelope the bump! ha



Two good things!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great weekend..I'll try to blog more!

Where Have I Been?

When I say that I think of the line in Harry Potter where Ron's Mom asked "Where Have You Been? No note..car gone!" But when she says it..it's with a British accent so Been sounds like "bean" in a way. Very cool...and speaking of Harry Potter..YES!!!!!!

Goblet of Fire Opens this FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will have to be very patient as we won't go see it until Thanksgiving Day...it will make me crazy knowing it's out there and I can't go! Maybe I could sneak out late at night at catch it huh? Would be fun..then when I get home Scott would ask me.."Where have you Been? No note..car gone!" haha

Anyways..I have been away from my blog for a bit. Life has been keeping me busy. With the new babies starting, working at Gymboree, kids, Scott, me..just hard to find alot of extra time lately.

I took Friday off last week and we had the best day! Got up..whenever..padded around in my pj's, worked on some projects..loved the results, got ready, picked up Sonic

and then headed to Suson Park with the kids. Walked around..saw the horses, feed them lots of grass,




found the coolest big walnuts..gathered them up for my hurricanes(a Martha Stewart "It's a Good Thing" Moment). Then we headed to South County Rec across the street as they have a great new playground.

Only 2 kids were on it..so my guys had a blast!


After that..headed to the bowling alley. Where everyone bowled! I don't think I have ever seen a cuter 5 year old bowling then Parker was! He was so darn cute and so excited about bowling with everyone. Scott won by 8 points over me..but hey..I bowled really well!

Then..yes..another then..headed to Blockbuster and the kids picked a movie..Shark Boy and Lava Girl and also Xmas with the Kranks. Headed home..relaxed and watched movies and hung out! It was an awesome day off!!!!!!!!!

PS..opted for smaller photos this time as I have so stinkin many! But you can click on them to see them larger! The one of Parker is priceless in person!

Let's Make a List

Are you like me? Do you find you can't function properly without a list made of things to do? Sometimes I feel like Dakota Fanning, the little girl, in Cat in the Hat who is sitting there with her Palm Pilot making a list of the things she needs to do and one of the things she has to do is make the next day's list! It totally cracks me up! Reminds me of me! Scary!



Anyways..my life lately is a long list. It seems as always my plate is a bit full! Not that I feel like I can't do it full...just full that I don't think my poor Mommy brain can remember half of the list full! So..lists are good right? My list has some things that are long long overdue to be done and new things that somehow I must get done by tomorrow's Open House or else that list is hitting the trash can!

So here's some things on my list:

1)Find order forms for SLiving and CTMH to take to Open House.DONE!

Anyways..maybe this list will help me...I'll come back and mark things off as I get it done..you can be the judge of how good I do!

Until then..I leave you with my new favorite layout!

Halloween Kids

Well our Halloween was filled with rain! Lots of it! In fact enough that the kids didn't want to go outside and trick or treat! BLECH! So we gathered for a few photos..and then headed to the mall. Got there..and everyone was there and no candy left! GESH! Funny as I had Scott bring our bucket with treats and give them out to kids. But I didn't see anyone else doing that which made me think. If all these parents are here with kids and not at home..and it's raining..where's all their treats? Why didn't they bring them and hand them out? Good question? I think so too! I leave you today with some funny pictures of the kids..









oh and I think a spook has gotten into my blog as it is doing all kinds of weird stuff! You may need to refresh your screen a time or two!

That's it for now...
