Movie review of the week!

-
Today I had the opportunity to see The Spiderwick Chronicles, and Jumper. Here are my reviews of both....

Spiderwick Chronicles

It may not have been exactly like the books but it was close enough. It made me cry, laugh, and sit on the edge of my seat in anticipation. I think that it was one of the greatest movies ever! The only thing I didn't like was that they made it a lot sweeter than the books. The books were pretty negative, and I liked it. I highly recommend this movie to all of you! *Sigh* I think that Freddie Highmore is adorable playing his own twin. I love the Spiderwick Chronicles!

Jumper

This is one of the worst movies of all time. It moved slowly, it didn't explain anything, and it didn't make sense. The dude was full of himself, and put other people in danger because of his stupidity. The movie trailers made it look so good, but sadly it wasn't. The only part that was remotely good was the parts with Griffin in it. Griffin was the only sensible person throughout the whole movie! He is also a Jumper, he is very blunt, and funny! And the girl that David (The Jumper) loved was clueless and annoying. Hm..Well he was clueless too so I guess they were a perfect match. The only part I liked was the part where Griffin, and David fight over the bomb thingy. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Well except for those of you who like boring, pointless movies. In that case I would.

I would like to thank my Mom, and Dad for taking us to see these movies! You're the best!

    Thanks for the excellent movie reviews! We were thinking of taking Zach (he's your same age!) to see Spiderwick Chronicles on President's Day, and your review made me decide to go for sure!

    On the other hand, your twin went on a date with the boyfriend tonight, and they were pretty sure they were going to see Jumper. I wish I'd read this in time to warn them, haha! It might be fun to hear what they have to say about it when they get back! ;)

    haha, I LOVE that you liked the negativity of the books! I cracked up...girl, you're awesome!

    Well, I went with Ted to see "Jumper" and I must admit, it was entertaining but definately not one of my favorites. I agree, Griffin was the best! I kinda wanted to kiss his face because he was hilarious!

    That's too bad that Jumper was so horrible! Like you said, the trailers make it look really good!
    There are so many movies I want to see, but it's too expensive to see them all in the theaters! I'll have to see the Spiderwick movie though, I love movies that were books :)

What Happens When Daredevils Take On Crafts.......

For the past two weeks I've been eagerly awaiting my chance to learn how to quilt with the women in our Ward!!!! I went with Monkey this morning, and not only did I make a l ap quilt but I also found that I love q uilting !!!!! Because I was thinking so much about quilting I think it was hammered into my sub-conscience mind.........That's the only thing that can explain this dream, or I'm just weird. You choose. The Dream- In my dream I was running in the woods with a pile of fabric in one hand, and a sewing machine in the other. In the middle of a small clearing was a table, so I went up to the table and quickly laid out my stuff and started quilting. I was just a quarter of the way done when something crashed through the bushes behind me, one hand was still sewing while the other was hitting the creature that was trying to attack me. I kicked and hit the stuffing out of the thing, and it left battered and bruised with it's tail between it's legs. I just shook my...

Be afraid, very afraid of the lama-eating casserole

Yesterday we finally finished working on the front yard! And I'm very excited about it. Before we finished Monkey, and I were talking while we weeded the big planter. Monkey was telling me about a girl in her class that can mimic all the characters on Napoleon Dynamite. I was laughing and quoting Tina's moment in the casserole spotlight until mom who was a couple feet away from me asked what I was talking about and I told her," Hello mom, you can't interrupt me while I'm talking about lama-eating casserole." I had meant to say casserole eating-lama, but whatever it didn't come out that way. As you can probably guess I was taken over by my laughing. After my laughter had died down, and I could see and talk clearly again my mom said to me,"If there was a lama-eating casserole you wouldn't be allowed in a petting zoo ." She said that they would tell me,"Sorry ma'am but that casserole is a danger to our lamas so you'll have to lea...

I have said many crazy things in my life. Most of them my mom has already blogged. So I'm going to blog this one. Besides it is my story. When we were at the pool Friday my mom wanted me to pull her around the pool. I did it, then I tried to pick her up in the water. I jokingly told her that I'll have to get married in a pool so my husband could carry me over the threshold. Please remember that I was joking. Well anyway this summer we spent a lot of it at the pool. So we saw the lifeguards frequently. One of them always had his Rubik cube with him, I thought it was interesting. So when I got home I said,"Mom I want an aerobics cube." Yes I thought it was an aerobics cube. I learned quickly that I was wrong. Because my mom started laughing and told me between laughs that its Rubik. Okay so now I get it. That's only a couple of the crazy things to have escaped my mind and come out of my mouth. So I don't feel alone on this matter please share some of the crazy ...
