Random collection of thoughts...

Animal Hats...

Anyone else seen these?  Apparently they are all the rage.

I think on small children and baby's they are completely adorable.

So freakin' adorable!

On high schooler's and even Jr high kids... ridiculous!

Really, are we five?

So this is just a pet peeve of mine.

But I guess every generation will have some fashion trend that everyone else looks at and shakes their head.

When I was in high school it was watches.

Like, kiddie watches with cartoon characters on them.

I had two... a crayola one and a hello kitty one.

That crayola one was pretty darn cool though, I got a lot of compliments on that watch (from other "cool" high schoolers. lol)

**Snooooow**

We got a measly inch of snow last week and then some freak blizzard on Sunday night (which lasted all of 2 hrs and left barely enough snow to cover the ground)

I've been itching for another big snowstorm before winter is over.
I even got brand new boots, waterproof and fuzzy and oh so cute and according to the tag they are rated for -25F, hopefully I'll never have to test that... ;)

I'm ready for the snow, bring it on!

**Beauty and the Beast**

I just love this movie!

It was the first movie I remember seeing in the theater.  It's always held a special place in my heart. Well it came back to theaters in 3D.
For my birthday L-dub took me to see it, it was even his idea (excellent!)
So I'm not the biggest fan of 3D but it was worth it just to see it on the big screen one more time.
First picture attempt...

L-dub:Ha, I made a face. You won't like it...
Me: shoot, my eyes are closed.

 Take Two...

L-dub: Well that ones not bad.
Me: No, I look ridiculous

 One more time...

Me: dang, it's off center.
L-dub: I think we are annoying the people behind us.

Apparently we are terrible at taking pictures of ourselves. ha, oh well!

~IPhone~

I want one.
They are so pretty and cool and fun and all the cool kids have one. ;)
My phone is from the stone age... like 3 years old, it doesn't even have a touch screen.
funny story about that...
My nephew (who's 2 1/2) was playing with my phone the other day. He was getting quite frusterated because when he drug his finger across the screen nothing moved and nothing happened.  He looked at me and was like, "It's broken".
Nope buddy, it's just not cool like mommy's (my sister has an iPhone... jealous)
I'll save my pennies and hopefully be able to get one before too long.
If not my brick phone is still able to make calls and send texts and take pictures which I spose is all I really need it for anyway.
An iPhone is just on my wish list, it would be fun. =)

**Curly hairs**
I recently discovered that my hair has some natural curl/wave in it.
hooray!
All these years of straight hair and now I can change it up on occasion
It takes some coaxing and lots of product but the end result is kinda fun.


OH!
I made it to the gym TWO mornings this week before work, in preparation for next week.
Boot camp starts Monday morning bright and early at 5:45AM!
Hopefully I can keep up this morning routine.
This is gonna be fun, I mean interesting, I mean... what was I thinking?


**AWANA Skate Night**
was tonight.
Apparently my kids from the city mission called church five times today to make sure we were coming to pick them up.  Fortunately another van was sent to help Jono and I.
We had two ComPlEtly FUUUULLL vans! 13 kids in each.  All our regular kiddos plus a handful of new kids.
I had 1-4 children hanging on my arms at various points during the night.
I only wiped out once (due to Jalee falling and taking me down with her)
I have a nice huge knot on my left knee.
hooray.
Despite the wipeout it was fun to just interact with all the kids.  A little less structered than a regular Awana night so we could interact with the kids a little more.  And not just my 3rd grade girls but all the kids, boys and girls.
I believe it was a fun night for all despite a few wipeouts and tears.
