Movie Reviews, Recipes and Other Things

 This past week we went to the zoo!!

To the Zoo!  To the Zoo!

(anyone have that book?)

Anyway,

 Are my kids the only ones that do not know how to smile and look into the camera?
(at the same time)

I mean, come on.

This was our first time going in over 14 years without 

a stroller.

I felt kind of like I was forgetting something.

It felt really weird and kind of sad.  

But it was really fun!

 

 I ordered this for our Art this year.

I love it!

And better yet, 

The kids love it!

You can order it 

HERE

 Guess what the 2nd lesson was?

 Yep.

A mailbox!

They had me at mailbox.

I love that all ages can do this.
It's fun to see each of their levels of drawing the same thing.

 Aren't these fun mailbox pictures?

 Oh, don't worry, we caught them before they ran into the street!

One of the many reasons I love mailboxes, the excitement it brings.

Here's a close up

(you're welcome!) 

 Local Farmer's Stand

I can't garden because we have so many deer
so I buy local!

See that zucchini in the upper left of this picture?

 Yeah, it became this.

Gave away a few loaves

I always pray that God puts the right people in my path to give my baked goods to.

I wanted to give a loaf to a homeless person,

but every time I drove anywhere with the bread, it was raining 

and no one was out.

My recipe?

 I saw this on Facebook this week and totally loved it!

Can you guess which one I am?

Oh, I love just about everything happy. 

And Christmas is happy. 

Even in September.

 I've got to try this.

 Country Fried Steak
Almost my whole family's favorite recipe

but 5 out of 8, makes this a hit!

 Am I the only one in the world that 

automatically thinks of this scene from The Office

when people say "I'm going to get my hair done"?

One of the funniest episodes.

Ever.

 The sky is on fire!!

Oh, this has to go down as one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen

This picture does not do it justice, it was amazing!

 We watched this movie this past weekend!

Loved it!

Really good and clean

(it is PG-13)

 My husband and I are watching this show, via Netflix.

We are on Season 2

(Season 1 was a really short season)

We are really liking it.

We are waiting for the last season of Person of Interest to come out

in September!

(on Netflix)

I am watching this show!!

Did any of you watch it when it was a mini-series?

I remember parts of it 

I don't remember it being this long

(it's like 8 discs)

Fun to see the actors now

HERE

(Patrick Swayze is not alive though anymore)

Kind of funny, this mini series was before Dirty Dancing.

I am loving this song!

I love the CLEAN version of course, 

which is why I had to put this particular one on

What is wrong with singers nowadays?

Why do they have to push the limits and swear in every stinkin' song?

I call this song "Pretty Pretty Please"

You don't want to know the real name of the song.

Any Lord of the Rings fans?

Oh, gosh, I live for Jesus.

I am on Fire for Him

I look so forward to my holy hour each week, 

where I get to be with Him.  

All the Saints had a great love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

"Oh, God, Thou art all powerful, Make me a saint!"

-St Alphonsus de Liguori

I have a beautiful girl turning 10 today!

I'll be back hopefully soon with pictures of her and her day!
