Posted By on December 21, 2008

What an exciting week…..here are some SNIPPETS of family happenings.  (And a word of warning – if you aren’t my parents, this is a blog entry you will want to skip – for sure!!!!)

 

 

Saturday night Christi (DD)  and Greg (DSIL) went dancing to celebrate a friend’s 40th birthday…….and MY NECKLACE AND MY SHOES had a great time!  LOL

Do you want to know who had the MOST FUN?  Grandma Shirley and Grandangels Leanna (AKA Nanna), Sarah, and Cooper!  We hit the opening of the new movie about the mouse who was not afraid of anything!

I am getting a reputation for putting EVERYTHING in the world on my list of FAVORITE THINGS……well, this movie isn’t on that list – OK!!!
Leanna, Sarah, and Cooper all gave it a thumbs down – and I did too.  It was a bit scarry – a bit long – a bit boring –  and as Nanna (12 year old grandangel) put it, “RATHER POINTLESS.”  So there you have it – something for my LIST OF NOT SO FAVORITE THINGS!  lol  (And you will never KNOW how hard that was for me to put someone’s creative hard work masterpiece on my not so favorite things list – who knows, I might even have nightmares tonight!)  But wait, the little mouse was EVER SO ADORABLE and HONORABLE and KIND!
No matter what we saw or whether it got a thumbs up or thumbs down – WE SURE HAD FUN GOING TO THE MOVIES!!!!

OK – so now I can say that what IS ON MY LIST OF FAVORITE THINGS is the movie MAMA MIA…  My DD and Grandangel Nanna gave it to me for Christmas – EARLY.  Oh, is that EVER on my LIST OF FAVORITE THINGS!!!!!  I watched it FOUR TIMES IN A ROW…….LOVE IT!!!!  I loved EVERYTHING ABOUT IT – the acting was fabulous and the music was spectacular and this just might be MY FAVORITE MOVIE – but GONE WITH THE WIND is right up there too!  🙂

What else happened this week?   Cooper had basketball practice – and there are few things more adorable than a five-year-old in a basketball uniform…..:)

Since I am doing a FAMILY HAPPENINGS SNIPPET here – I just couldn’t resist these kitty shots.  Midnight, Oreo and Cuddles always sit in the window of the bathroom in the mornings while I put on my make up…..looks like a FULL HOUSE TO ME!  I had to chuckle as I noticed that little Hannah Fay was contemplating whether or not there was room for just ONE MORE!  They make me smile!  🙂

Is there room for Hannah Fay?

Cooper and Sarah were hard at working yesterday making ART QUILTS for their stuffed animals!

Sarah is ironing patches  with fairies and cats on them that she drew and colored (with crayon)…  I think that I had as much fun as they did!  They loved using my HELLO KITTY SEWING MACHINE (but Sarah PREFERS my Brother Duetta – she thinks that she could “SEW A LOT BETTER ON IT!”  Susan (my Quilter’s Corner Brother’s Dealer) would be thrilled to hear this!  🙂
