First Snow in WA ... *NoBloPoMo 21*

Here are the pictures I just took of the first snow here in WA ...

Harry Potter and the case of the........ BLACKOUT ...

So......... yesterday my Mom and Step-Dad treated several of us to a day out to see the new Harry Potter movie.  Dennis, Cal, Noah, Kenzie and I all packed up in our car with Ami watching the babies, and went to meet them in Poulsbo at the Theater.  We got in there, my mom was waiting with the tickets as she got them several days ago...

So we went back, and we ended up standing in the hallway forever because there had been a 10am showing, also, which wasn't out yet.  So if it started at 10am and didn't get out until 12:30pm... then the movie is 2 1/2 hours long eh?

WOW....

But the last book is such a HUGE book (and I don't mean huge as in big, I mean huge as in major events) ... so I am REALLY glad that they split it up into 2 movies... ya know?

So ......... we are about 2 hours into the movie.... suddenly it goes BLACK... and it just happens to have happened while Ron was going to smash the horcrux with the sword... ... we all thought it was part of the movie... for... about.... 30 seconds! LOL....  then the lights came up and I know there were people wondering if the movie was over.   But it wasn't...  

We know..... we walked in during the credits and even those didn't run...

So...... after awhile, the Manager came in saying there had been a power outage and the film player was having issues restarting.... then he comes in to tell us about 10 minutes later that the movie would start out right where we left off....... and THEN when the movie started again.... it was about ..... here......

And now............ there was NO SOUND!!!

So yeah.......... we ended up NOT seeing the end of the movie, got readmission tickets... and coming home. 

So... I've seen MOST of the new Harry Potter movie... but not the end!

FIRE FIRE FIRE.... ...*NoBloPoMo 20*

I have to say that my most ABSOLUTE favorite thing about moving into this house is the wood burning fireplace!  It's a must have in my dream house... LOL... I grew up with one.  And it gets MIGHTY cold upstairs.  We have good heat downstairs but for some reason, the upstairs is either really leaky or the heater isn't working.  Either way, it's often FREEZING up here..... and so this.... is awesome!!  Dennis is calling me a "Fire Bug" now.....

The photographer in me went a little crazy.... 

Christmasfied ...*NoBloPoMo 19*

Still thinking about what to get everyone for Christmas.  Our tradition is starting next week on Thanksgiving ... so it's time to get prepared....... right???

We went to Costco and I saw this........ and I thought........ oooooooooooooooooooooooh yeah!!

That would be a great gift for the babies, as a joint gift.  It's small enough where it can sit upstairs for them to play with.  We aren't going to get them a lot of toys because we don't have the room here for a lot of toys...  but I thought that this would be great...  so we're going to get them this, as a joint gift. 

Still not sure what they want from Santa! LOL.... 

Ami and I went out to Walmart with Kenzie and we were ooooooooooohing and ahhhhhhhhing over all the Christmas stuff..... 

Mady wants this....... and actually, I found a baby doll I wanna get her too.... 

 This, btw is Mady......... she's due in February ...

She is my God-daughter and the little girl who I will spoil to no end cuz I didn't have one of my own, so she'll be my little girl, and I won't have to give birth! LOL

Ami wants this for our front door because she looooooooooooooooooooves Snowmen (course, so do I!)

 I thought this was soooooooo cute!!

 And this...

 And this...

 I need a new Angel...  the one that has been handed down to me is getting ........ a little tattered.  So in a hope to save her a little, she's going to live on the entertainment center instead of the top of the tree.  I was thinking about getting something like this one..... she's got fiber optic lights.....

 The stocking we have picked out for Mady ....

 And a stocking that is just too cute!!

 LOL.....

I have NO CLUE what to get my husband though, for Christmas...oh, other then ONE thing.......

Yep....... THAT would be useful for BOTH of us!!  No more Rock Band crap all over the room....... THAT'S RIGHT..... I said ROCK BAND CRAP ..... :::ha ha ha ha :::snort::: ha ha ha::::

I have ideas for pretty much everyone else we are gift giving to....  pretty much....  UGH!!  So much to do, so little time.......

The Stink Eye ~ Thousand Word Thrusday ~ NoBloPoMo 18

Here is Nathan giving me the STINK EYE when we were at the DRs ... he was really mad at me because I was siding with the DR and making him get all his tests and stuff.  And what REALLY pissed him off was that we wouldn't let him get his shirt back on.  All he REALLY wanted was to get his shirt back on.  So after Daddy ended up leaving for work, I took pity on the poor kid, figured a few minutes of being pissed at me for taking the shirt back off was better then the half hour of pissyness between the tests.

But.... I have to say ...... it's a pretty good stink eye.....

A Little Heart Beats Strong.... *NoBloPoMo 16*

Today we had a long cardio appointment for Nathan.  He had several holes in his heart, an ASD and not sure what else going on when he was born and it was time to re-check everything.

 

Luckily after all his testing, which he wasn't happy about, we got great news!!  Other then one valve dilating some, his heart is perfect!!  He wants to check the dilating issues in a year, and we got a BIG YAY!!!

After, while waiting for my Mom to come pick us up (Dennis had to go to work during the appointment and we got done earlier then we expected...) ... we played some.

 (above) Mr. Kaedyn and his amazing smile...

 The boys looking out the window while waiting for the good news...

 After, we went outside....  they were off their "leases" as long as they were listening, which after awhile, they stopped and Nathan ran out into the parking lot - so they both went on their baby leashes cuz I didn't have the stroller with.

 There is a water fountain there, and we spent a long time just watching it...
