28 minutes later....

OK, I'm officially terrified.

We rented 28 days later last weekend and Bill, Billy and I sat down in the family room watching as a virus ran rampant in London and turned everyone into angry flesh eating zombies. This is definitely no Dawn of the Dead. Even though I watched through my fingers and screamed out a loud a few times I was certainly not prepared for Part 2....28 Weeks later.

I think this is one of the scariest movies I have seen in a long time. I was SO SCARED.. I still keep thinking a bloody head is going to be pounding through my living room window and start tearing my limbs off. If you like scary, see this. I know Drew is a fan of Part 1.. have you seen the second?

I'm grateful I am a grown up because if I was living with my brothers and sisters, I would be awakened in the night with a ketchup bloody faced sibling and would probably have a heart attack. Bill doesn't like to sit next to me when watching scary movies because I jump a mile high. My adrenaline is pumping.. yikes...

YOU WIN SOME AND YOU LOSE SOME...

We lost the Superbowl on Sunday :( We went in as the underdogs so I was really happy for the boys that they even made it that far. Within the first ten minutes of the game the Raiders scored 2 touchdowns.. They had a really good team. We did come back with 2 touchdowns towards the end and the final score was 26 to 12. The boys took it really well. I think the coach was more upset than they were!

Afterwards they had a pizza party at the Knights of Columbus which was a wonderful idea. The players, cheerleaders and parents were all invited and you should have seen the dancing going on! It was a riot. They did this circle thing where someone would get in the middle and they all clapped and said "Hey Matthew" "Hey WHAT" "Hey Matthew" "Hey What"... "Rock the boat" then they did this little dance and that kid would have to go in.. We were all hysterical watching! I'm glad the season is OVER!! I will have some great shots pretty soon that my sister-in-law took for me. Had to take the memory card to Walmart to make a disc.

Next week is basketball.. and so it goes.....

Thai?

So, I'm going out for Thai food tonight with Bill after we drop Matt off at Football practice...I don't know what to get.

Update: I had Chicken Pad Thai (because I had no clue what else to get) and Bill had beef with ginger sauce which was yummy. I had some of his SPICY soup which would knock a cold on its u-know-what! We also each had a thai beer that tasted suspiciously like Amstel light. It was fun. We are going to try different things on that menu.. I'll report which ones are favorites of mine.

Great Grandparents

I woke up this morning to these images looking back at me from my e-mail.... Let me tell you... it felt good! My parents made it to California to meet their very first great grandchild. I can really see the love on their faces and I'm so glad they were able to go. This little baby is bringing everyone lots of joy!!

Have a great day! We are almost to the long weekend. I have to confess that Bill and I put the heat in our room on 63 to warm up before we went to bed. Our bathroom and closet are built over the garage so it gets cold up there!

Whoops.. It's November!

I can't believe we already in the first week! Time is really flying by. Here are a few pictures of Halloween night. Our neighbors always have the kids at their house for a few party games and some steamed hot dogs and chips before they rush out for their treats. Then the moms stay and have a glass of wine or some hot cider while the dads take the kiddies around. Matt had a friend come to our neighborhood this year and afterwards he said "this is the most candy I have gotten in my whole life!!" They were loaded! Billy went to one of his friends this year.. It was weird. His first year away from us...but he had fun and was home by 9:00 with lots of candy and a big smile on his face! I love that he is still trick or treating at his age... I think I was hanging out in the woods with my friends at that point.. yikes!!! (city kid that I was!)

In sporting news.... Matt's team has won the playoff game and we are going to the SUPERBOWL next week!!! WHOOOO HOOOOOOO!!! It was the most exciting youth sports game I have ever seen. They won a touchdown in overtime. Because they were tied they had to do a coin toss and then each team had a chance to get a touchdown from the 10 yard line... It was nerve wracking. I'm really happy for them.. the other boys were crying. It was so sad :( This team we play next week is really good so it will be a tough call. I will be happy to have football practice end and also to get a few weekends free before basketball starts.

Work is good.. just so busy. The days and weeks go really fast and because I'm running around so much I am totally happy just to hang at home on the weekend.

Mom and Dad are flying to CA today to meet their great grandson!!! I can't wait to see pictures. Dad is having a biopsy in early December because of the growning tumors, but we are taking things one day at a time.. and he told my mother that he wants a good Christmas this year. We will be sure to give him the best one yet! Great to "talk" to y'all...
