{October is Crazy}

First things first, the movie review! :)

To tell you the truth, as much as I thought this movie was going to be so good. It wasn't. It wasn't a flop by any means, there were some really good parts. But the over all movie was just "ok". Nothing to write home about that's for sure.

We also rented Role Models last night. Also nothing to write home about. They showed the funniest parts on the previews. I hate that.

OK, on to the actual post :). October is going to be so ridiculously busy. Lets do a little run down shall we?

1st- Bugs 2yr check up *tear*

3rd- Bugs birthdays

7th- Bugs party

11th- Bark in the Park

16-18th- G and D are doing Wild Life Scary Park with Tiger Scouts

31st- Halloween

I know the list doesn't look that long, but when you're not used to doing very much, it's a ton all at once. I think the Wild Life Scary Park thing is going to be the most stressful. Probably just because D is a Halloween freak and he wants to be all scary. But I know that they're doing the early (just for little ones) part and he's not gonna be able to be scary like that with them. He'll be pissy. No doubt about it.

Bugs birthday party is at Chuck-E-Cheese this year. His very first time there. I'm pretty excited about it :). We paid a ton of money so it better be amazingly put together. No joke. We shall see I guess. I've never done a party at Chuck-E-Cheese before.

Who else is feeling the cold weather at this point? It's so cold right now that I have the space heater on. It's apparently not cold enough to kick the heater on though. Which is good I guess. Time to cover the windows with that plastic stuff. Woohoo.

{I have no life...no seriously}

You know you're lacking a life when you get excited about the new Dollar General opening in town. No joke. It has been in the making for a few months now, right up the street from our house. I'm literally excited about it. I went there for the first time tonight and bought some ~~things I was needing~~ junk. But dog gone it I just had to buy something. But now I realized that I have absolutely no life. I think I need a job outside the house or something. So sad. Maybe I should apply at Dollar General lol.

I went to take the drama queen to Brownies tonight and no one was at the school. OK. I thought I had the wrong time so I took her back half an hour later. The people inside told her that her Brownie troop had gone to the Police Station for a tour. Um, good of them to inform someone. D and I pretty much already decided that next year we want to get more involved so it's a lot more organized. *ugh* It was just annoying to go to drop her off and find out no one was there. Luckily I didn't just leave like I usually do. That would have been super craptastic.

On a lighter note I traded in Observe and Report tonight for the new Mathew Mcconaughey and Jennifer Garner flick; Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. I can't wait to watch and review for you tomorrow! It should be really good. I love Jennifer Garner.

So I'll blog at you later :).

So I was stalking some blogs and someone posted this video she found on youtube. I had to share it with you all! HILARIOUS!!

{Movies I love}

We are serious movie watchers around here. When D and I first started dating we spent almost every weekend at the movies. Sometimes we would see an early movie, go on a motorcycle ride, and then go back to the theater for a late movie. Ahh the times before we had a house full of ~~heathens~~ angels. The movie viewing in this house has changed quite a lot also. I find myself reaching for the kid friendly movie at Blockbuster instead of the horror movie. But on to my post, Bug and I watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua last night.

Who doesn't love this movie? I mean, it has adorable dogs, cute little doggie clothes, and Jamie Lee Curtis! Woohoo! Bug loved it, sat through pretty much the whole thing, and he's only 2yrs old (not even). My favorite part of the movie though? The part at the temple where the chihuahuas tell Chloe (white chi) how awesome it is being a chihuahua. I am in love with chihuahuas...could be because I have 2 lol. Either way, if you haven't seen this movie, you should rent it in a hurry!

All I can say about this movie is see it! We rented it last night and I tell you what, I almost peed several times!

While I'm on the subject of movies and Blockbuster, have you heard about the deal they have now where you pay $22/mo. for unlimited movie/game rental. You rent a movie and when you're done watching it you just take it back up there and trade it for another movie or a game! It works for new releases as well as old. And after so many rentals you get a coupon for a free old release. We use those for older kid movies. It's great! Especially if you're a movie goer like we are. So you might want to check that out!

I can't wait to return this one and get another. Hmm..maybe I should go do that now!

Before I start my wonderful post, I have to ~~brag~~ comment about my fabulous new layout! What do you guys think?? I'm really proud of it. I did all the graphics myself (even the background)! How did I come across such an amazing kit? Well, I believe I raved about her before, Ellie Lash Designs. All of her kits are so cute and right now most of her store is just $1-$2!! You better snap them up quick though because she is saying Good-Bye to blogging at the end of September. I'm so sad about it! She is so amazingly talented. And she doesn't charge out the ears for a kit. Can you tell I'm a little sad about it? Anyway- head on over and check out her store!

I have been needing a change for a long time. My appearance was killing me. All I could do with my beyond shoulder length hair was pull it back into a pony tail. What girl wants to do that for an entire year of her life? Not this one that's for sure. Plus, it just looked awful while it was down. It also took forever to dry and straighten. I've been growing it out for 2yrs (a little longer because I started when I was pregnant with Bug). Anyway- I chopped off all my hair on Tuesday. I love it! D hates it (he actually told me he hates it...tough sh-- for him I guess).

It's hot right? I'm madly in love with it! Woohoo! Finally I don't look like the swamp monster! :)

That's all I've got for today ;)

{It's pumpkin time!}

The awesome Morton Pumpkin Festival parade was today. For the first time in about 4yrs I got up and actually went. The parade started at 10:30am so I had to pick up my mom at 9am and then we (us 2, the drama queen, and Bug) went to Morton. We sat there for about 30min. before it started, which wasn't too bad except it was super hot! Who knew September could be that warm? The parade was actually longer than I'd expected it to be also. The last time I went, we sat there for an hour waiting for it to come by and then it lasted for 20min. I'm gonna bet it lasted about an hour this year. Woohoo!

Bug handled it very well also. I thought maybe he might freak a little bit (as most babies do) during loud noises and the characters. But he loved it! He even danced when the marching bands came by. It was a pleasant surprise. :)

We did have 1 problem though. These 2 ~~old bitties~~ elderly ladies were sitting next to us. The mother kept telling the daughter (who was obviously not all there..if you know what I mean) to run out and get the candy. Which was annoying enough because there were 4 kids with just us, plus a few next to us, but then this float was passing out ice pops. Yay! A hot day + ice pops= happy kids. But did my kids get one? No. Why? Because the ~~wrinkled old hags~~ elderly ladies took them from the drama queen and G. I was livid!! And instead of not saying anything, I piped up and let the 2 dusty cows know I was pissed off. Of course I didn't go right up to them; oh no, I wouldn't have wanted the 100yr old mother to have a heart attack while I was yelling at her. I simply said loud enough for even them to hear me that it was BS that they just took popsicles from kids and that they needed to think about it before doing it again. I was still pissy about it when we walked back to the car.

Anyway- I didn't get to look at the craft stuff because my mom didn't really want to, she had to get back to her boyfriend. Which ended up being crap and I wasted a ton of gas driving around looking for a friggin' park that he kept saying was in EP but then couldn't get us to. *ugh*

OK- on with what you're really here for! The pictures! Enjoy them! My kids (and nephew) are adorable..at least in my opinion (and mine is the only one that matters ;))

His very first parade, waiting for it to start.
