Swing Vote

We were able to see a special screening of Swing Vote last night. I actually liked the movie a lot more than I thought I would. My big complaint about the movie is that Kevin Costner's character swears a lot. It is part of who his character is, but still could be very offensive to a lot of people.

The girl who plays his daughter was absolutely brilliant! She was completely believable and absolutely adorable.

The movie did have some very poignant moments and you may even find a tear or two sliding down you cheek as you watch it. If you can stomach the profanity, I would definitely recommend that you go see it.

You Are Pocahantas!

Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Cloth Diapers

We are contemplating using cloth diapers on our next baby. The baby is due January 29, 2009. In our research we have found a diaper that we would really like to try. It is made by Bum Genius.

My Little Runaway

My daughter threatens to runaway every month or so. She is only 4, but she has thought it through way too much for my liking. Last night she said that she was going to runaway to her grandma and grandpa's house because my husband spanked her and sent her to her room for slamming her little brother's toes in the bathroom door. She already had her suitcase packed.

I told her that it wouldn't be a good idea to try to walk to their house because a stranger might pick her up. She said, "Oh, that's OK; I'll just take a taxi!".

At bedtime, I asked her how she would feel if I said that I would like to trade her in for a different kid. She said, "Not very good." I then asked her how she thought I felt when she told me that she wanted someone else to raise her. She again said, "Not very good." She decided that she would not talk about running away again (We'll see how long that lasts). Sigh. I thought running away was an older child ploy. I think that I am really in for it when she is a teenager.

I was pretty happy to find out who I would "morph" into. I've always thought that she is beautiful. Come on try it. You know you want to. LOL!

Guess What?

Our son's favorite thing to say starts with, "Guess What?!"

He then pauses for a moment to make sure that you are paying complete attention to him and then he says, "I love you!"

It makes me melt every time. :D
