*A really dumb pet peeve of mine has to do with drinks in movies. Have you ever noticed that whenever someone is carrying coffee or soda, they never carry it like there is REALLY liquid in it? They are always waving it around and you can totally tell it's empty. They need to do a better job of pretending they are actually drinking something. Notice next time. :)

*Chris' brother spent the night last night. Made BBQ chicken pizza with bacon, onions, and cashews.

*Cam loves Peter Pan right now and likes to be called Peter Pan. I am Wendy, Chris is Captain Hook, and Kendall is Tinker Bell.

*Agenda today: Moreno Valley Mall for the play area, Costco. I'd like to look for a small backpack. Now that the kids are older, I don't need a huge bag to cart around things. But I love backpacks, rather than bags, so that I can have my hands free.

*Went to the 100th celebration of our city library on Saturday. They had crafts and games for the kids. It was such a nice and FREE activity for the morning.

*My mom and I are going to see The Help this week. Should be interesting to see how similar it is to the book.

*I tried to see about having Cam meet his teacher before the first day of school. They are moving locations so they said it wasn't possible with all the chaos going on. While I understand, I'm really disappointed as I think it would really help Cam for his first day.

*Dinner tonight: Hamburgers

*Isn't it interesting how cooking show hosts are always so careful about washing their hands with raw meat and being concerned with germs, yet they always use their bare hands to pinch some salt and put it in the recipe??

Love the pretend play! It's so cute how he's given each person their specific role!

Your pet peeve makes me laugh! Too funny. =) Oh how I wish I could go with you and mom to see The Help. And not just because of the movie - but because of YOU TWO!!!!

Oh, we wish you could go with us, too, Susan!!

I have no idea what you're talking about with the movie/cup thing. You'll have to show me when we go tomorrow.

I've NEVER "gotten" the salt-pinching! It's unsanitary (compared to shaking it in). And do they just keep a bowl of salt around all the time--like a sugar bowl?

For a backpack thats good and sturdy I say hit LL bean great costs right now with school starting and free shipping. I got Breven one for school and it lasted all last year and is still good to use this year. It also has a warantee if something happens they repair or even replace it even if its over 12mo old!

I was mad too that I couldn't meet Breven's teacher either.
