Snow!

I took this pic two nights ago while it was snowing and the wind was blowing snow everywhere!

It's been snowing for four days, and we have about a foot of snow on the ground.

In Vancouver, that's enough snow to shut everything down!

The boys love it! they've been going to bed early every night because they're so exhausted from all the snowball fights!

It's still snowing, and it looks like we're going to have our first white Christmas since we moved here almost five years ago!

Directive

So, when I bought the movie Wall-e, It had a thingie attatched to the front of the package stating that I could enter a code online and receive a free tree seedling that would be kosher for my region. And here it is! My Wall-e tree! It's a Colorado Blue Spruce, go figure.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, Jasper was smokin' hot in Twilight!

I never really liked jasper in the books, sue me. It was all about edward and bella for me, and I didn't find jasper of any consequence.

But oh man, Jasper was so awesome in the movie! I loved how he looked like he was in pain all the time! And I loved when him and emmet were burning james, and jasper's all excited and jumping around. Frickin' Awesome!

I hope they give Jasper a bigger part in New Moon, he did great in this movie!

Okay, so I thought the movie was great. I will definetly see New Moon.

But, I refuse to see it during any time which teenage girls are allowed to be out and about. Being at that movie theatre with 100 teenagers discussing how edward was the perfect man was almost my undoing! There was a girl next to me who had to explain to her boyfriend (during the whole damn show!) why people were laughing, and who Jacob Black was! Who's Jacob Black? Why are you here philistine!

Anyway, that's that, I'm done.

This Is Halloween

In my family, it wouldn't be Halloween without PUMPKINS! Every year, we do something different, and we always have the best pumpkins in the neighborhood!

The first on the left is Ian's haunted house, then my jack skellington, then Justin's kitty on the moon, and Pat's revenge of ichabod crane. We chose our designs well!

it's 5am?! Where are the kids?

Where are my kids at 5am? Not in their beds! Ian has decided that no time should be wasted sleeping in on the weekends! He gets up, gets dressed, goes into the livingroom, turns on every light, and starts singing. Those of you who know me understand what a serious offense this morning time cheer is.
It is now 7:35am. Pat is still in bed, the kids are running around like loons, we've already had breakfast, and we're about to leave and go grocery shopping before they wake up the whole neighborhood!
I hate mornings!

don't look directly at the fish

I'm a little behind on the times, these are the fish we adopted a couple months ago.

Peaches, Oreo, Special, and Nemo.

They are large golfish, except for special, he's recovering from a bad bout of finrot.

All they want to do is eat. I'll be sitting on the couch reading my book, and I'll feel eight fishy eyes watching me! They beg for food all day! If you get within 2 feet of the tank, they start freaking out and knocking over the plants in the tank!

So that's why I tell my family, and friends, Don't look directly at the fish! They take that as a sign that you come bearing gifts of food! And if you don't pay homage, they try to jump out of the tank, and they spit rocks at the front of the tank! I figure when they get too big, I'll just find someone with an indoor pond, and they can adopt my adopted fish!

Smuggy MCsmuggerton

I am so smug it should be illegal! I even had to celebrate with a secret midnight cheeseburger! My latest essay in my writing class was graded and returned to me today! There were no mistakes, and I was deemed "Grammatically perfect" by my writing teacher! I should be fined for this level of smugness!
