Celebrity Look Alikes!

My sister in law told me about this website and the fun stuff that you can do as far as face recognition goes. So, I did a little playing around with it this morning instead of the things I was really supposed to be doing! You should go and check it out!



This one was kind of a disappointment. She looks equally like us? Sigh. No bragging rights on either side! ;0)




And, though I know it's not realistic, I did one of Landon with Jaysen and I as well. Partly to make sure they didn't say that every child looked equally like mom and dad, and partly out of pure curiosity. Check out the results!



Even better! I put Jaysen's picture in to see what kind of celebrity I was married to. I knew he was cute...but wow! Look who he looks like!

I've Gone Scrap Crazy!

So, this past weekend I did some serious scrapbooking and I thought I would share my pages with you! Sadly, I have oodles of pictures that still need attention, but at least a few were taken care of! I need to do this more often! As you will see, the journaling still needs to be done, so I guess none of these are "complete". Oh well!

Girls Night

We went to Hands On for Girls Night last night. I have never actually painted pottery before and I really enjoyed it. I could have stayed there for hours to be honest with you. Very relaxing, and it doesn't require a lot of thought. So, you could sit there and chat while you painted. I picked a Christmas tree and I'm so excited to get it back! We get to pick them up on Monday after they've baked them and glazed them and all of that good stuff. I think the girl that worked there thought I was wierd though. I painted the tree green, and then put a white wash finish on it to make it look "snowy" I guess. ;0) And it turned out cute! Trunk brown...you get the idea. Well, it needs ornaments right? I asked for gold paint as I thought of putting a gold garland around the tree, but they don't carry gold or even silver. The best they had was a butterscotch color. Not good enough for me! ;0) So, I just picked red. So, there are little red circles all over my tree. I thought it turned out cute. The Christmas colors I use in my house are green, red, brown (tan) and gold. Classic colors of Christmas right? So, I was trying to keep along those lines with my pottery piece. Well, the lady came to check on us and she wanted to know if I wanted more colors. I told her I didn't need anymore because I was finished. She had this look on her face like "Are you kidding me?" She said, "That's the only color of ornaments your putting on it?" So, I said, "Yes....I'm a plain person." She was speechless. Literally. It took her a second and she said, "Oh. I'm sorry, I've just never heard that phrase before." I just told her that with me, less is more. She just walked away. My tree is cute dangit! I'll post a picture of it when I get it back. There is nothing wrong with one color of ornament! ;0)

Anyway...I'll definitely be going back.

And....to top off girls night...we went out to Tomatos for food afterwards. We finished up painting by 6:45 and honestly, none of us wanted to go back home quite yet. So, we went for it!

All in all a fun night!

Let's Make Out!

Everyone loves kisses right? Smooth, creamy, melt in your mouth kisses.....

I'm talking about HERSHEY KISSES here people! Well, they've come out with holiday versions for us who love the kiss. ;0) My favorite.....

The MINT TRUFFLE!

Look at these babies....Dark chocolate outside, and creamy mint on the inside. It's like you've died and gone to heaven. And I'm not kidding. I'm sad they are just out for a few months. I might have to stock up. You can't just have one kiss! You have to have several! They are too good not too. Addicting.....yeah.

So, go try them while they are out! You won't regret it, I promise!

Conked Out

So, I was sitting here checking my email (go figure) and all of a sudden I hear this snoring sound. I ignored it for a moment thinking maybe it was something off of Blues Clues. But, after a few minutes of hearing this noise I had to investigate. And this is what I found. Now, for any of you who know my daughter....she pretty much will only go to sleep if she's in her crib. So, for her to conk out on the couch like this....means she must have been dog tired. She didn't even blink when the flash on the camera went off. This time change has really thrown off her schedule.

Anyway...she's just completely adorable...how could I not nab a photo?

Doghouse

Today was the official doghouse building day. Jaysen had Landon help him screw it together. Landon felt so important. I was actually surprised that Jaysen actually let Landon hold the drill and drill the screws in. Let's just say that a few of those babies are completely stripped. They are never coming out. Which is ok, since it's Toby's house. But, it was interesting to watch Landon attempt to hold the heavy drill straight up and push the button at the same time. :0)

Even better...when they were all done putting the sides together, Jaysen took a moments break, and without hesitating, Mackenzee grabbed the drill and figured she's make sure those screws were TIGHT enough. She had no problem holding the drill up and pushing the button. Silly girl. Anyway...the puppy house is done. He's got a nice warm home, with a soft little bed inside of it. And do you know what he's doing? He's whining and pawing at my back door. That's right. Sigh. At least he's not barking.

Spiderman!

Though Jaysen took Landon to see Spiderman 3 this past summer, I hadn't seen it. And as most of you know, the movie came out onto DVD this week. (Side note: if you are planning on buying a movie, buy it the first week at Target because it's always $5 cheaper than anywhere else.) Anyway...I took the plunge last night and watched the movie.

The mysterious black goo from space was a bit much for me to believe...but it was a pretty good storyline. I liked the whole Harry aspect of it, but wondered why they killed him off in the end. And, if any of you watched it...the ending left something to be desired. Because it wasn't really an ending. Segway to Spiderman 4!

Yes, they will be doing another one. The script is in the process, but they are unsure if dear Toby Macguire will be on board for another one. He apparently doesn't seem to think that they would be able to come up with a good storyline that would top "3". The villians supposedly in line (yes, more than one again) are 'The Lizard', which is Peter Parker's professor at the university, and Carnage.

The Lizard becomes a lizardbecause he lost an arm and decides to inject lizard DNA into himself, which turns him into a lizard. Peter at this point is his teaching assistant, and they are still close, but The Lizard dislikes Spiderman (I don't know why) and so there is this whole drama involved with the alter ego again like there was with Harry's dad.

Carnage is some serial killer that I'm assuming, breaks out of jail. In the comic book he is cell mates with the guy who became Venom, but they killed him off in the movie. The other version is that he somehow hooks up with Lizard, who, if you remember, still has that sample of the black goo from "3". The black goo still "remembers" Spiderman (because it takes on the characteristics of what it bonds to. that's why the other guy looked like Spiderman too. You know, Venom.) Anyway... Carnage is an even darker version of Venom, because the guy it takes over is a serial killer. Makes sense?

So, there you have it. The saga will continue. Which I am glad, because the ending just wasn't there for me in "3". I would have preferred an ending like "2" where you knew Harry was going to become the green goblin. There were no bad guys looming in this one, just the dumb love story left hanging. Tie up your loose ends people!
