Finally some pictures!

`tis the Season to run around like an idiot and make a feeble attempt at getting a HUGE list of things accomplished in a TINY amount of time. It`s good for the diet though - I have zero time to sit around eating cookies, ha ha!

So, Monica`s party was lovely, I decided to go with this shirt:

Andrew was the only one clever enough to wear a shirt underneath so at the end of the night he could give Monica his shirt as a keepsake. I`m not sure what to do with mine, maybe I`ll keep it for my cousin Monica`s 40th birthday. Hmm, I think I`ll do that, it`s such a cute shirt and a lot of thought and effort and drinking went into making them!!!

Aaron was photographer for the night of the boys Advent Liturgy at school which is why there are only a few pics. Including a picture he took looking up at me and the boys. Obviously I haven`t taught him the IMPORTANCE of taking pictures from a chair looking down. See, here`s the picture looking up at me and its um not so good And then voila - picture taken looking down and it smooths out lines wrinkles lumps and bumps. Hoo-yah!And here are Thing One and Thing Two - someone couldn`t wait to get out of his church clothes...which is why he`s wearing long johns. Love!

Thursday Thirteen - Bad Movie One Liners!!!

As I was searching for some cheesy Christmas jokes I was inspired to do a Thursday Thirteen all about cheesy movie one liners. They're bad. Very Bad.

3. "I'm the king of the world" Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic
4. "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?" Jack Nicholson in Batman
5. "The dingo took my baby" Meryl Streep in A Cry in the Dark
6. "Show me the money" Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire
7. "That's not a knife. THAT'S a knife" Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee
8. "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing
9. "There's no crying in baseball" Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own
10. "May the force be with you" Harrison Ford in Star Wars IV
11. "I AM the law" Sylvester Stallone in Judge Dredd
12. "Houston, we have a problem" Tom Hanks in Apollo 13
13. "Excellent" Keanu Reeves in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

I just can't control my annoying habits sometimes

Tonight was Thing One and Thing Two's Advent Liturgy at church. It was fabulous. We sat with our friends, all our boys were dressed nicely and were well behaved and then it happens.

Like a scene out of my favourite movie:

Jon nicely points out to Aaron that a kid in the front row has both of his hands shoved way down the front of his pants.

And I of course start snorting like Miss Piggy:

But anyways...

Christmas concert was great!

We weren't allowed to take pictures during the liturgy but we did take some when we got home. I'll post those tomorrow :o)
