A Viewing Party

I am still insanely excited about Cinco de Mayo this weekend, but I've also moved on to thinking about the next party.... An Arrested Development Viewing Party! Season Four is airing on Netflix on May 26th and I am out of this world excited for the event! Martin and I are obsessed with the show and have seen all the episodes at least five times (we had a couple year stretch with no tv, no netflix, and no other shows on dvd).

Either way, I can't wait to host a viewing party for diehards at our house. If you want in, let me know, you're more than welcome to join - the only stipulation is you must have seen the first three seasons. So far I know Martin, myself and my sister-in-law, Ingrid, will be in attendance. I have a feeling my pastor is into Arrested Development, he just seems like the type (the type being people who love to laugh)

Anyway, if you don't watch the show, my party planning thoughts are going to be a mute point, but if you do.....here's some thoughts I have in mind so far...

To eat:
Frozen Bananas
Hot Ham Water
Cornballs
Ice Cream Sandwiches

To decorate:
Map placemats with the blue area being the land, of course.
Random blue handprints on the walls/furniture
A paper bag with a "fake" dead dove in the refrigerator

To wear:
Cut off jean shorts
A hook hand
A bracelet that says Mr F (for British eyes only)

I'm open for more ideas and always for more guests!

Growing Up


It's lucky we had Sylvia because we need a cuddly child in our lives who is willing to sleep with us and Aubrey has finally decided that isn't going to be her. For the longest time we couldn't get Aubrey to go to bed on her own, then shortly after Sylvia was born (within a week) we started forcing her to go to fall asleep by herself and stay in her room that entire night (much to her discontent). A couple weeks ago, she decided she doesn't need us at all anymore and after saying prayers, singing the itsy bitsy spider, the ABCs, the number song and reading a book - she promptly says, I want you to leave.

Martin: She's growing up way too fast. She doesn't even want me to lay down with her anymore.

Thank the Lord for babies because I don't know if we'd be able to handle the emotional rejection otherwise.

These are a Few of my Favorite Things....on the Internet

It seems like I've been stumbling across are lot of interesting or halarious things on the internet lately that are just too good to keep for myself. Here's a few for your to enjoy.

Vodka made out of milk????

I haven't been to Kmart in years,but this commercial is so halarious it makes me want to rethink my shopping habits.

Watch hipsters pretend to know about complete made up bands.

Have you ever read any articles on The Onion. They are always so halarious. This one about living in NYC is an oldie but a goodie and I recently read this one about toddlers and trains that made me laugh.

This is the best idea ever for temporary tattoos!

How to have the Best Pregnancy Ever. Halarious and so true.

I'm doing the Ride for Roswell this year and I'm thinking this would be an awesome addition to my bike.

And.....that's all for today. I'll try to do this monthly.....ish as I stumble across new, fun finds online.
