At the Movies
Evren and I went to the movies yesterday. He kept changing his mind about what movie he wanted to see and finally decided he wanted to see The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep.
Ugh… seriously? I had no desire to see this movie. I thought it was going to be incredibly stupid. And I think he picked up on my vibe, because after that there was no way I could convince him that any other movie was worth seeing.
Ok, fine…. we went to see it.

And it was excellent!! I loved it. It was a really great family movie.
Here’s Evren review of the movie:
I liked that movie mommy! I especially liked the end, it was cute. And I liked the beginning.
We both highly recommend it.
Merry Christmas!

Late last night sometime after Santa had come and gone.


I’m not even sure the sun was out yet when this photo was taken.

After stockings, before presents!
Road Trip
Took the kids on a weekend road trip a few weeks ago.

31 miles on the odometer of the rental car when I picked it up.

What’s in the bag? We weren’t at our destination 5 minutes before Evren talked me into buying him some souvenirs.


There was a pottery fair going on with a children’s area. A chunk of gray clay and these kids couldn’t be happier. There was literally sobbing when we had to leave this area. I should’ve taken photos of the finished products …true art.


They are playing with a stuffed snake that Evren’s grandpa bought for him, which he immediately fell in love with and named Snakey.
Halloween 2007

Ayla was a monster bride and Evren was a skeleton.

The most awesome basket of candy! It’s eyeballs!!! Love it.
