Movie Friday...

My sister and I have a little tradition going called Movie Friday... this is the first year we have lived by each other (well since we were kids anyway). So now that she has moved back to St. Louis and all of the kids are in school - we go to the movies on Friday!! Its been lots of fun! This week we saw Nights In Rodanthe based on the book by Nicholas Sparks. It was AMAZING!!! A must see for all woman out there, just bring a BOX of Kleenex!!! For those of you that follow Nate's blog.... you can see what he wrote about the setting of the movie here... the fact that the beach house really exists... oh my - I so want to go there.... do you think it will be affordable?! If you get a chance to see it - post a comment and let me know what you think of the movie!

FYI - Nicholas Sparks new book hits the shelves Tuesday September 30th... The Lucky One I can't wait to read that one!!

Last nights post today...

Better late than never... right?! We went to the movies yesterday and saw Kit Kittredge.... oh my - it was so stinkin cute!! What a great story!! The best part was at the end when I said to my sister, "Chris O'Donnell is so hot!" To which Camryn leans over and whispers in my ear, "But not as cute as my daddy!" I thought it was pretty precious! Colby didn't see this movie with us... no need to explain why not... so he went and saw the The Indiana Jones movie... he liked it a lot, although my nephew was texting through it and my brother in law was sleeping... Colby enjoyed it!

Also - went to see the house last night - here is a picture of the latest... these are our footings... next comes the forms for the basement walls... hoping I will get to post that later today!!

Having so much fun!

I am having so much fun getting ready for the new house.... it has gotten me geared up for a few new projects... I am planning on doing Camryn's room over...long story short - her comforter won't fit her bed anymore.... Not to mention I love to change things! So I have convinced her that pink and chocolate would be so cute.... hence the board I made here. So I decided to work on painting a few pieces of wood furniture white... and I then it went crazy... (thanks a lot Monica!) So here are my 2 new projects....
Camryn's "new" bookcase..

Camryn's "new" table and chair set...

fyi... the chair only has primer so if you look too close... just know I still have to paint it white.... and the other chair didn't make the picture because it needs to be pained too...

I am so loving it.... the stripes were easy... just masking tape... and that wasn't something I was new too... but the circles - they took some planning... I checked the Internet for ideas, asked others, and I even went as far as to go to a paint store and ask for a trick... they had none! With that I came up with my own... I used contact paper... cute it in circles.. with my scrap booking circle cutters and then I could stick that right on the table and paint... and remove quickly! I still need to do a little touch up... but I had fun with it and Camryn loves it... she even colored me a picture to say "thanks"! Ahhhh!! What do you think? And don't worry - thats not the last project I have planned for her room... so stay tuned for more to come in future posts...

The house is making a little progress... they have our hole complete and filled the bottom with rock... so next they will put in the forms to pour the foundation... here are a few pictures from today....


pretty exciting stuff huh?

The weekend was great.... on the 4th we went to the annual BBQ at the Peter's house.. it was fun as always... Jen is quite the hostess... I didn't take any pictures... my battery in my camera was dead... I hate that... but Jen did and I will post some later... Saturday we spent the day shopping for the house.. fun fun stuff... and that night we just wanted a movie...Sunday Dean and Colby played golf... Camryn and I worked on her projects... and then we went to a BBQ at our new neighborhood and met lots of new neighbors... it was fun - hot but fun... there are so many little kids... I thought there were lots in our last subdivision....

anyway - back to Monday... we have a busy week and weekend - but more fun... so it will give me something to blog about!!! and of course I hope there are more house picture updates this week...

A few things...

First - lets start with the movie last night..... It was so good.... everything I could have wanted from the movie. You had to wonder if it could possibly be as good as the series... but the answer is Yes! Everyone was so true to their character... I just loved it. Not to mention it was just a great girls night out... they served Cosmo's at the movies in fun glasses that lit up... how fun is that!? And I am sure it led to lots of coloring...hopefully outside of the lines! :)


We also had another baseball game tonight. Colby has been playing with most of these boys for years. Dean is coaching the team again this year. Tonight wasn't one of Colby's best games... but I just love to watch him no matter what, although watching him pitch is a little nail biting! The final score to the game was 16 to 15... Way to go Crushers! Here are a couple pictures from the game and also a picture of Ryan from the game, (my Godson) because he is just so stinking cute!

Colby on first while Dean is first base coach... check out that base.. its huge!

Getting ready to bat
Ryan - told ya he was cute!
This is a pitching picture from another game... I didn't get any pitching pictures today.

3 is a crowd!

Well....we still didn't get to close yesterday and with that we have 3 residences... The buyer is still waiting on some paper work and this time it wasn't cancelled until 25 minutes before our closing time.... we do have some penalties lined up and they were accepted so we are feeling that they do still want the house - the papers just need to be signed off on.... ugg!! Needless to say being at our place yesterday wasn't much fun!

With that - tonight I am going out with the girls!! I can't wait... Sex and the City Movie - here we come!! I can't wait to see it! I am a little scared being on line today for I might learn something about the movie that will spoil it! Out for a few drinks after that and boy am I looking forward to it! Dean went to play golf today... hoping that will help his stress load... and he will be playing tomorrow too!

The kids are doing well with the move - I think with it being summer we are going to be ok - so many things are going on - they are always out and about! Camryn did take a "swim" in the tub here at the villa today... it was pretty funny - she thought it was the greatest thing ever!


Well.... Happy Saturday - check back tomorrow for the movie review!
