Good Times

Dinner and drinks with our lovely friends the Nitzes last night. We really need to get together more often!

The kids roasted marshmallows out on the deck:
Hannah got all ninja with hers:

Someone got a little sleepy:

An after dinner snuggle:

Thanks for dinner, guys! It was great to catch up, and dinner was yummy. Those steaks were massive!

TGIF

I finished last night's project, which was inspired by the One Little Word Challenge "Time" - normally I would upload it to SIS but the site is being buggy today. It's a 9X12 flat canvas that I painted and embellished for my friend who had a death in the family. I hope it cheers her a bit.

Thursday Night

Shane has his weekly pool tournament tonight, so he's out for a bit. They are playing the #1 team in the league, so cross your fingers. I'm getting ready to watch Survivor and Lost with Jordan - it's the best TV night of the week! Also doing some crafy stuff, here's what I'm working on:




It's a canvas for my friend Tobi. If you see this Tob, pretend to be surprised when I give it to you, ok? xoxo

Drummer Boy

Here's Evan rocking it out! The video is fuzzy, but he sounds pretty dang good. At least I think so, my ears are ringing a bit. He must have gotten that coordination from his daddy, cause it's sure not from me!

This Just In

The makers of Airborne cold remedy have been ordered to refund $23 million to customers. Apparently it doesn't work. If you are gullible like me and want to get a refund for all that nasty tasting stuff that you guzzled, here's the link: http://www.airbornehealthsettlement.com/.

See, I always thought it was working. I guess it was all in my head.

Go Fly A Kite!

On Sunday we all hiked up Shadow Mtn. to fly the new kite. It flies really well and doesn't have miles of string, which is a very good thing! It was super windy and chilly but still nice to get out and have a little picnic. There's quite a view from up there.

Across The Universe - Thumbs Up

We watched Across The Universe last night. It was very cool: happy, sad, timely (Vietnam/Iraq analogy), thought provoking, visually stunning, and weird. I love weird. Oh, and the music - fantastic. Of course it helps to be a Beatles fan, as there are a lot of subtle references throughout the movie.




Naturally, it reminded me of one of my all time favorites, The Wall.



That's all for Movie Review Sunday.
