Happy Tunesday

"Scrapbooking Playlist"
This is ever-changing, but this is what is inspiring me right now. It's a little slower than usual, but it gets my creative juices flowing. Enjoy!

Phony photobooth

This is a segment that Leno does occasionally. It is a "free photobooth" set up at Universal Studios. There is a woman that hides in the other side of the booth and pretends to be the computer. I couldn't find the one from last week that wsa SO hilarious, but this one is pretty good.

Girls Night In

Craig was out tonight for the General Priesthood Meeting, so AJ and I tore it up at home. We did a little shopping at Michael's and then squatted on the carpet enjoying gourmet Italian (aka Little Caesar's) and watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

I haven't seen this show in probably 20 years. I use to LOVE this show when I was little - I still do. And to my excitment, so did AJ. The little blonde boy with his cute British accent is adorable. And even after all these years, I found myself singing right along to most of the songs. Funny how those shows you loved as a child never leave you. Here are a few more that are "Dear to My Heart":

Pete's Dragon


Song of the South


Chitty Chitty Bang Bang


Babes In Toyland


The Gnome Mobile


Darby O'Gill and the Little People

(Don't know what this fetish was with "Gnomes" and "Little People." Maybe I was wise enough at age five to already have a crush on Sean Connery...)

The Little Princess


Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory


Superman

Especially #2. Watched it over and over. When Clark sticks his hand in the fire in the honeymoon suite at Niagra Falls and doesn't get burned and has to expose his identity to Lois?!?! DRAMA! OK, so I realize this one doesn't exactly fit the genre, but I must admit, I was a Superman girl. And apparently, a couch potato! These are really only a few of my favs. Geez mom, ever hear of sending us outside to play?

What is your favorite childhood movie?

Wayne Campbell

"It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine."

Tiny Dancer

AJ started her first ballet class this week. She absolutely loved it. She is crazy about her teacher "Miss Jean", who is really wonderful with those little girls. (I think I would lose my mind!) Again, I'm a little sad to see how fast she is growing up, but it was awfully cute to watch.

My Latest Project

Krylon Primer and Paint: $15


2 more cans of Krylon because you're an idiot and used gray primer instead of white: $8 and a bad mood




Sheets, Dust Ruffle and Bedspread from Target: $110


The sight of your little girl sleeping in your old childhood bed: Priceless

More Zoo Pics

This is sort of our traditional zoo photo. We've taken one each year since we've lived here. It's kind of sad to see how fast AJ's growing up. She's changed so much since that first photo!

Catch-up

Been a while since my last post; here's my excuse: I had family in town last week. This should bring y'all up to speed.

Coloring eggs:




Easter morning:




Hanging out at the mall:


Fort Worth Zoo:




JFK Memorial in Dallas:


Hot tubbin' in McKinney:


My Grandma Grenz gettin' CRAZY with the Texas Lotto scratch-offs:


And to round out the week:

a trip to the Instacare for AJ (Doc said it was an ear infection - BULL-SH&# - because the next day, I came down with it and have spent the last two days in bed.)

Here's to getting back to regular life. Cheers!

Happy Easter

All in all, it's been a great week. We're settling in for a nice Easter weekend.

I saw "Penelope" with some friends this week - soooo cute!

I was not really dying to see this, but there wasn't much else playing. So glad!!! It was funny and had a sweet message, but most of all - it was total eye candy. To say her wardrobe is drool-worthy is a major understatement. And her bedroom? That is what my heaven will look like. I am frantically trying to find a way to put a giant red tree in my scrapbook room. Beautiful. I totally recommend this movie - especially if you have daughters you can take to it.

AJ had more than her share of cupcakes at the Relief Society Birthday Celebration last night.


And today, she made out with quite a haul at the annual Easter Egg Hunt.



Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!!
