It was aweseome. We took the girls to the drive in movie. I'm so glad we did - it was a great experience. We had the perfect set-up with the van. We watched Madagascar first and then the girls were asleep 15 minutes into Star Wars.
SO - Star Wars... I first have to admit that a lot of the visuals were lost because of the Drive in set up - but you do what you can to see a movie! I was so impressed with this movie - by far the best of the "newbies". Hayden Christensen drives me nuts still. Natalie Portman is so cute - although out of all her work I like her least in these. Ewan MacGregor was great - so was Sammy Jackson. I was so excited to see my favorite wookie Chewy... and of course Yoda.
The end was powerful and amazing - Vader taking his first breath and Luke and Leia's birth ... chills....
I can't wait to see the entire body of work at one time... now I have to decide watching it I-VI or IV-VI then I-III.

I'm so not cut out to be a single mom ...
I'm so glad that Dan is home. It's weird how when he's here it appears he can make life more difficult but in reality he really does make life easier. With Anna being such a BUSY girl it's nice to have another body present to track her down.
That's all. It's good to have him home...

If you kind of squint your eyes a little...
Ok - I've admitted that I'm lazy - and definitely slobbish - although working on it. I'm finding I can live without a lot of the sentimental crap I've been holding on to for years.
So - I kind of hold the same approach to my creative endeavors. I love to scrapbook, I enjoy painting - and now I'm getting creative with my sewing - doing these precious ribbon and embellished overalls and jeans (I will post pics later!!) ... but I'm NO perfectionist. So I was telling my good friend J that I had made a pair for her daughter's 2nd birthday, but I warned her that they were CUTE - but my sewing leaves much to be desired - so if she looks at it from a foot away and kind of squints her eyes - they look great! Her comment was, "That's how everything in my life is!!"
That's me - PERFECTLY - I live the kind of life where if I stand back and I squint my eyes, my life looks awesome and I like it that way!

Teeth = bad times
Poor babies.... what is it about teeth that just makes life miserable for the little 'un's. Anna is getting her 8th tooth. She is very unlucky in the fact that her teeth drop early and then just S L O W L Y break through... and I mean slow! She's pretty happy most of the time - but it disrupts her sleep which add gnarly cranky kid to my list of concerns.
teething tablets help, ibuprophen brings short term relief, cold foods in the baby safe feeder, and a lot of hard toys to chew on...
It's crazy how as soon as that tooth breaks the skin - everything changes. The 12 hour sleep returns, the big toothy grins and for a short while a reprieve from the drooling!

What I'm watching...
Sideways...
This could have been so much better if it was a half an hour shorter. First off - let me mention I was NOT in the mood to watch this movie - so that might have skewed my view...
OK - I was praying it would be over SOON for the last half an hour, I was tired and i just was done with the movie. Paul Giamatti was awesome - and who knew Thomas Hayden Church could be so cute! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sandra Oh - she's awesome. Virginia Madsen was my fave character in this movie.
Enough of the wine talk already... I don't like it enough to watch an entire movie about it. Wine was an additional character in this movie, and it was interesting but did I mention it was a little too long??
