Twilight...............

Alright, so I am so not on the band wagon with the movie. And yes, I did read all 4 books and love them. First of all, the book says that Edward is a person that hurts so much to look at him. Well, I am not into Edward, I do not know why he just doesn't appeal to me. I know, call me silly as thousands of teenage girls are swooning for the actor on screen, I so would much rather have the bad boy villian Cam Gigandent be the main star! Now that's a hunk.

We took all the boys to see it last Friday night, and I was actually criticised for being a parent who would *gasp* take her 3 children to see a PG-13 rated movie. Says one woman who appeared to be in her 60's. Can I go to one movie without pissing somebody off? What's sad is that my kids have seen more violent shows than that awkward teenage love fest. Oh well. Another movie, another critic.

Into Africa with Madagascar 2

I forgot to mention that we took the boys to see Madagascar 2 last Friday. When did they start making these cartoons for adults and not the kids??? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the animation, and my kids still laughed, but there were some scenes that were adult-themed with jokes that I'm sure only people over the age of 17 really got. I think one of the weirdest parts was when the male hippo starts 'surfacing' out of the water so that Gloria could get a better look at his 'assests' hmmmmmmm...... Wonder what cartoon they'll come out with next for us.

Staff Pro Security

Yesterday Chris and I worked a 12 hour day as Staff Pro Security Guards for the Seattle Seahawks. Although it was alot of being on your feet and we only got (1) 25 minute break in that time, we had quite the fun.

The first 8 hours we worked in an area called Friends and Family in which we were security for all the VIP people that get into Qwest Field. We got to see the majority of the Seahawks from 2 feet away, including the coach's from both the Seahawks and the Cardinals. Chris also got to pat down Warren Moon and Steve Riebl!!! How awesome is that. We saw some very neat people yesterday.

After that, the next 2 hours were spent in the main corridor of the Seahawks and the Sea gals locker rooms. I worked the corridor and didn't allow anyone through unless they had a pass, while Chris worked the area next to me guarding the food! LOL! I think his best moment was being in charge of the gates while the Sea Gals ran back and forth from the game to their locker room! :)

The last 2 hours I was in charge of Freight Elevator number 2. Yup, you guessed it, I got to press the buttons and make the elevator go up and down. The highlight of this job was when I had to escort a prisoner who had been tasered from the upper concourse (level 5) all the way down to the field level. And of course there were stops on every floor of the way down, with the prisoner yelling the whole time. Lots of fun.

Super Aidan to the Rescue

So I took Aidan to work on Friday and the shop crew set up an area for the man of steel to test his might in holding up a 24" piece of ductwork. I loved his face, so hilarious!

Happy Halloween!!!!

I know, I'm late, story of my life, right?!!! So, the three boys had a ball on Halloween. Brennon and Keagan went all over with their friends gathering enough candy to feed us through the winter (work here I come!) haha. Aidan loved being a jedi and found his own Darth Vader to get into fights with.

Motorcycle Pet Mobile

So I'm online looking up pet carriers since I have the 3 cats and nothing convenient to carry them in, when I come across this motorcycle pet wagon.

I actually think they look kinda cool. I mean, who doesn't want to cart around their dog behind their motorcycle. Look at all the cool windows that little box has, and the vent on top. I especially like this one......


If only they showed the picture of the mini horse inside of it! :)

It's a girl, I think....

We decided to keep Collin our rescue kitty, who, up until 2 days ago I thought was a boy. Turns out I think it's got no boy parts what so ever and my little totally dependant on me kitty is a girl. I believe she's 7 weeks old. We're set to get her spayed, vaccinated, and declawed in two weeks.

My Little Pumpkins

The whole family went to the pumpkin patch on Sunday, along with some friends of ours. We had a great time. We let the boys go to their first haunted house, and somewhere through the house I had 2 kids holding onto various parts of my pantleg. Aidan was crying, I was laughing, overall was a very successful haunted house. Brennon and Keagan weren't very sure if they liked it or not, but I'm sure they'll go again sometime.

Keagan, Sophie and Aidan cheesing it up for the camera.

Strolling through the corn maze.

This cat reminded me of my kitty Ican. It was so typical of like the halloween, pumpkin and cat theme so I just had to snap the picture.
Resting after spending 1/2 hour walking the corn maze.

Mamma Mia what a morning

This morning as I performed my daily jogging (only 1.75 miles today) I decided to turn on the soundtrack to Mamma Mia. What a funny movie this is. I didn't realize how enjoyable it would really be as I'm not usually a big fan of ABBA. The beginning of it had me pumping my legs to the music. Of course, I also never believed that some stars could actually sing (i.e. Pierce Brosnan, Meryl Streep). I enjoyed it. Especially the bachelor party scene. Wish all the guys looked like that.

Officially a Referee

Last night I finished the 3rd part of an 18 hour series to become a USSF referee. The reason I did this is because our coed soccer team is not getting enough referee's to be at our games. Do you know how difficult it is to try and play soccer with 22 coed adults on the field without a ref???? Let's say it sparks much debate on legal calls and out of bounds. Anyway. I passed with a score of 88. Although not my personal best, I have to admit it made me feel good because I beat everyone in the class. Here's to the passing out of many yellow cards.
