the sound of silence

“Yes, they are bad guys; but it is what they do, not who they are.”

so my aunt annettee, and cousins, bryan and trevor are in. And last night we watched Get Smart. Hence the quote. I love it when we get to hang with bryan and trevor because they are some of the most laid back people I know. We watch tons of movies and laugh and play board games and run around. Granted they are guys, and whenever you ask them what they want to do, or which movie they would prefer, they shrug and say “I don’t care.”. So bethany and I have figured out a way to triger a response from them. We randomly suggest the most girly, romantic chickflicks to watch, and then bryan will speak up and say “NO.” and trevor will just shake his head. So we have to work for a response, but we come up with creative ways to get their opinions. So I’m sitting in the living room, in our big chair that I named “Jedidiah” snuggling with a bunch of pillows, and typing away on bek’s laptop while the boys watch some lame football movie. My aunt and dad are picking up my grandpa to bring him back here, and then we’re all gonna go eat at Chilis. And boy am I hungry.

OFF NOTE: danielle, I read your blog where you got a plastic cut, and I just have to say that I feel your pain. those hurts like….like snot! And I can relate, because the other day I got a cardboard cut. I was opening a box of cereal, and I slid my finger under the tab and BAM. pain. lots of pain…and lots of blood, and lots of tears.

Anyways. Yesterday all of us kiddos loaded up and went to Hastings to look at  books and rent movies. I decided to splurge a bit. I always go into Hastings with Bethany to look at books, and it brings me pain because I find all these books that I want sooo bad, but I always resist. Well yesterday I bought three books that I’ve had my eyes on the past seven times we’ve gone in there. I bought the first Aragon, Tuck Everlasting, and The Last Sin Eater. I’m very excited!!!! And they were very reasonably well priced too might I add! After an hour and a half of browsing through books, laughing at books, and being torn over wanting to buy books, reading through books, smelling books, feeling books, and turning through the pages of books, we moved on to movies. I don’t know how many we rented. I lost count of which ones we rented, were going to come back and rent later, which ones we were just going to buy, or which ones we couldn’t decide if we wanted to rent or not. They brought these MASSIVE cd case holders with TONS of dvds in them. Like, TONS. It was a bit overwhelming at first. It’s like having our own personal little dvd store. So pretty much our famly time has consited of eating, playing games, eating, watching movies, eating, talking, eating, running around, eating and watching more movies while we eat some more. Great fun.
