Movie day-with the kids

We took the kids to see Star Wars Episode 3 at Laurelhurst theater this afternoon. We had a blast. It was cheap. Only $9 for all of us. AWESOME!!!!

The kids loved it. At the end of the movie when Darth Vador is "born" Sean points to the screen and says "hey, that's Darth Vador." "Hi, Darth Vador."

Melissa and Kelly loved the babies at the end and were shocked. They later asked me why Luke and Leia are all grown up in 4,5,and 6. Now the kids want Gabe and I to buy all 6 Star Wars movies.

As we left the theater Sean waves and says "bye Darth Vador, I love you."

Jacob ate and slept through most of the movie. At the end he was awake and was making a lot of noise but loved looking at the movie screen.

By the way for all you Star Wars freaks out there Episode 3 comes out in November on DVD/VHS (what the heck is that? VHS that is so 80's and early 90's :) ) I hope all 6 episodes come out in a special DVD set with all six. That would be AWESOME.

The funny things kids say

OK so my kids are STAR WARS FREAKS

More my son Sean than any of the kids. Jacob likes to see the red light and hear the noise from the little R2 D2 we have. The kids also have the Darth Vador talking mask. It is way cool. The kids love the mask and play with it EVERY DAY. My girls even want to be Princess Leia for Halloween. But the costume is a bit expensive. I really wanted Jacob to be Yoda but I don't think there is a Yoda costume that will fit a 9 month old. We shall see. I wil take a look at Party City this weekend.

Well one day at Target Sean and I were walking by the toys and Sean spotted a Mr Potato head that was transformed into Darth Tator. I just HAD to buy it for Sean. Sean asked me if it was a Potato. I said yes. And then he said something about tator tots. I told him tator tots come from Potatoes. I think Gabe had told him not too long ago that tator tots come from potatoes as well.

Well being the funny kid my son Sean is he then says really loud....

"No, Tator tot I am your Potato" Where the heck did he get that from?

Sean also gets the line messed up in Star Wars. He says "No, Luke I killed your father".

LOVE Trader Joe's and Wild Oat's

Has anyone else been to either place?

Yes some of the food is pricey but for the most part a lot of it is cheap (for good food). I went to Trader Joe's last night to get a few things. Their wine selection is awesome and VERY inexpensive. They have wonderful cheese to go with wine as well. Who would have thought that a $2.99 bottle of wine would be yummy? I use to think that if the wine was under $10 then it must suck. Well I was wrong. I do know that the more expensive the better it is in taste but when you are on a budget the $2.99 bottle of Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon is the way to go.

Wild Oats is great too (but a bit more expensive) and they do have more stuff than Trader Joe's but there is just something about Trader Joe's that I just love. Maybe it is the atmosphere and all the "natural" people that shop there. Plus on my way to Trader Joe's last night I saw thousand bag man and I waved to him. That guy sure does travel.

I love organic food and just feel great going to those types of stores. Growing up I never got to go to those stores because we did not have the money to shop there. Now that I am married and on my own I love to go and do the things I never got to do. We don't go often because of the kids. We do go once month to both stores (Wild Oats and Trader Joe's) when we don't have a lot of bills to pay. We have a little extra money to spend on great food once a month. We stock up.

Last night we had Trader Joe's marinara sauce and pasta for dinner. It was delish.

Anyone else here LOVE Trader Joe's and Wild Oats?

Shame on YOU GABE

So I have a blog and so does other family of mine and friends. They all have ME on their blog as a link. Who doesn't? Do you all know? My very own husband does not have a link to my blog on his blog. I have a link to his blog on my blog.

Gabe you and I have been married for 7 years. I carried and delivered your 4 children. This is the thanks I get. You don't have a link to MY blog on your blog. What is up with that?

I admit I need to update my link and add a few more people but to not have a spouse on your blog that has a blog is MEAN.

I have been bugging Gabe about it now for maybe a month. Has he added me yet? NO! Will he? Who knows.

Yet another Blog intervention.

So I had a blog intervention on Gabe. I was going through my blog community today I noticed that Kathy has not blogged in a long time. In fact her last post was the day before Gabe's last post in June. So it is time for yet another Blog Intervention. Come on Kathy POST.

I think it is time for a Blog intervention

Gabe has not posted in a long long time. He also has not replied to other bloggers. We need to confront him on this. It is time for a BLOG INTERVENTION. Those who want Gabe back to post and reply, reply to this blog with an I.


UPDATE.... He's back. Check it out. Gabe actually posted on his blog.
