Wordless Wednesday: A Fairytale Halloween

Tuesday Tunes 67: Never Think

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween.  I have really not been into blogging too much lately.  I apologize.  Life is busy these days, running kids back and forth to school and such.

Anyway, my sister and I used the "Halloween" opportunity to watch "Twilight" again.  I have really been into Rob Pattinson songs lately.  He has some on YouTube that he has performed in clubs and such.  There are a couple of his on the Twilight soundtrack as well.

This one is used in the movie when Bella and Edward are in the restaurant, after her run in with the crazy guys in Port Angeles.  (On a side note:  I was actually in Port Angeles... when I was a baby!  Stayed overnight!)  Anyway, I really like it.

Someone said that they wished Rob Pattinson would have been known for his music before his Edward role.  I agree.  He has talent!!  Enjoy!

Friday Fill-In: Happy Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!  Here's some Friday fill-in fun!!

1. While the cat's away the mice will run around searching for food, make a mess and generally reek havoc on the cat's territory.  All in good fun, right?

2. Reese Peanut Butter Cups are fabuloso!  That's all that needs to be said about that!

3. Children are a gift from the Lord and I can't imagine my life without them.  Here are some examples of what has been said recently around our house:

Me: "Emma, why do you like Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story character) so much?"
Emma: "Because I just love him!"

Me: "Emma decided to rip the stings off her princess wand!"
Emma: "And I'm sorry!"

Lady that works in Aidan's Lunchroom: "How are you doing today, Aidan?"
Aidan: "Fine.  Thank-you for asking!"

You can't make this stuff up!!

4. The shoes come off when I get home from work or shopping or what have you.   My feet are free!!

5. This may seem odd, but my Mom kinda freaked me out last night in her clown costume.  She looked too realistic!

6. I have nothing to do tonight and that seems like a fine idea to me!  I need a down night!!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to doing nothing, tomorrow my plans include running to the bank and church and Sunday, I want to go grocery shopping and then spend the afternoon at my parent's house and go trick-or-treating with the kids later!

The Amazing Race, Ep. 5: The Fast Forward is Taken?

I know!  I know!  I have missed a few episodes.  Life has been crazy!  But, without furthur ado, here's my recap of this week's episode!

Norway was the scene.  It was filled with snow, gondolas, boats, bikes and rapelling.  I must say that watching them do that rapelling on the bridge really made my arms hurt!  I mean, the whole coordination between your legs and arms is HARD work.  And they had a long way to climb back up!

In the end, Nat and Kat (Drs.) finished first...again.  I am noticing a trend.  They took the fast forward and had to eat a sheep's head.  (Eyes included!)  Since one of them hadn't eaten meat in years, it was an interesting challenge to watch, but not as gross as some other eating challenges.  My father said, "Why are their eating challenges always like Fear Factor?"  This challenge, though, didn't seem that bad.  No one puked.  That's something!

At the detour, they had the choice of biking or boating.  Biking was quicker, but the boating didn't seem to take too much extra time, which worked out well for Kevin and his Dad.  (My favorite team right at the moment!)  They are so funny!  I was glad that they came in 4th place.

And then there was the comedic team of the evening: Tattoo couple, who continually astound and dumbfound us with their 'blondness'.  Last night was no exception.  They arrive at the Road Block and decide to try for the Fast Forward, even though they were second last.  As stated above, Nat and Kat had already gorged themselves on sheep's head and were safely across the finish line by the time the tattooers arrived there.  There was a sign that read "Fast Forward Taken".  If you have ever watched The Amazing Race, you would know that that means the Fast Forward has been taken by another team.  Not our tattoers.  No.  They stood there looking at the sign, wondering aloud, "What does that mean?"  ......Huh?  Wow!  You don't know what that means? 

Anyway, they looked around.  The stayed for a few minutes.  Then they decided to move on, but not without giving us more to look back on and laugh at!

In the end, the Volleyball girls were constantly trying to play catch-up on this leg of the race.  Unfortunately, they never could quite make up the difference and were eliminated in this round!

Next week it looks like they are headed to Russia.  Should be an interesting episode, perhaps with some language barriers!  Should be good.
