The Blind Side

I went to the movies on Thursday night with my mom and 2 other ladies and saw the movie The Blind Side, with Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw and Quinton Aaron. All I can say is "WOW"! I think it is truly inspiring and what a difference makes to just one person that you may not even know. It defiantly shows the relationship with Sandra Bullock as the mother/wife of a very well to do high class family and Quinton Aaron who plays an African American from the projects who all he wants to do is get an education and better himself. It is an all around awesome movie!

Disney On Ice
















Yesterday, Saturday, we went to see Disney On Ice The Princess Classics and it was a surprise for Chloee as we did not tell her we where going. She has been seeing the commericals on TV forever and making comments about how she would like to see the Princesses. We had excellent seats in section 104, row 9 at the iWireless Center in Moline IL. I have to agree, it was pretty cool!! Those skaters are something else.
The crown that Chloee is wearing cost a whopping $10.00 and you got cotton candy with it!! Chloee had ever had cotton candy before, and she ate sooo much I was afraid that she was going to get sick, however she did not, but complained that her belly hurt all night. I think I should count my lucky stars that she did not get sick!

Family Night & Lights

Last night we had a family night out. Will and I where going to go to US Cellular since they where advertising 'free phones'. We get to the store and there is a line and wait for approx 1 hr!! This sale of free phones has been going on since Black Friday, and I figured that most people would have already been to the store...not the case! So during our wait, we went to Pizza Hut and had dinner. Chloee only ate 1 breadstick and said she was full! I have no idea what her eating habits are lately, other than chocolate at 9AM. NO she does not get it, however she asks everymoring if she can have some.

We get back to US Cellular with new phones in mind, get them and pretty much get out with in 30 mins! Not bad at all.

Our next stop was Eagle Point Park in Clinton IA to see the Symphony of Lights. They decorate the park with a large amount of Christmas lights and have different themes. Here is a link to the site http://www.symphonyoflights.org/ . There are so many lights and displays to see, that I was overwhelmed at everything, and Chloee was excited to see all the lights.

Today, I think we are headed out to do some Christmas shopping....all 3 of us together!
