Who Would You Cast for 50 Shades of Grey?

Ana
I think up and coming actress Allison Williams would be great for the role.
(Her Dad is also famed newscaster Brian Williams…don’t know how Daddy would feel about that role?)
Christian Grey
I think Armie Hammer would be a great choice for this role…hair, grey eyes, the suit!
Kate
Kristen Bell is bubbly, smart, and pretty…she would do great as Kate!
Mrs. Robinson
Madeleine Stowe….. if you don’t watch Revenge you should be.
It explains why I think she would be a good choice.
SO WHO WOULD YOU CAST FOR 50 SHADES?
I’m in the midst of book two.  If you haven’t picked up this book series yet you must!
Okay now back to work ya’ll!!!

Mayfest Fun!

Here in Fort Worth they have a weekend festival the first weekend of May called “Mayfest”.

It sort of reminds me of Toad Suck Daze back home in Conway 🙂

We had a great family day out yesterday…of course I was sweating like a PIG!  It’s already so hot here in Texas….I need to work out and get a hot bod so I can wear some shorts and not be ashamed of my white legs 😛  Of course there were lots of people there wearing crap they shouldn’t have been wearing so that made me feel better, but seriously.  This may be a sundress summer because I don’t like shorts????

I am going on a juice fast starting today so we’ll see how it goes.  I say a fast…but really I think I’m going to have a juice for dinner every night and eat a light lunch mid day.  I’m just not happy with my muffin rolls and I want to feel better about myself.  Especially now that summer is here.

So here is my little family at Mayfest 2012

Excuse my hot and tired looking self… we had worked the early morning Sunday school class at 8:30.  We had EIGHT two year olds!  God bless all you Mom’s with multiples…I just don’t know if I could do it!  I was beat!  Then we stopped for a Starbucks and Connor dumped it all over the back seat of my car and onto the carpet….sigh…just another day!  Pick and choose your battles.  He’s becoming and very opinionated and defiant two year old some days…but other times he just melts my heart and is so loving.

 Thank goodness for child leashes…especially in places like this!
 Connor rode his first pony. 
He was a little scared, but he did well overall and he loved it!
 Awesome sand castle
 Cracking our Mayfest confetti eggs!!!
 Riding on rides with Daddy
OMG why are fair rides SO expensive???
I swear they drain you…they know this…and get away with it because they can!

We had a great weekend.  I spent most of my free time devouring the ever popular “50 Shades of Grey” series everyone is talking about….and let me just say it did not disappoint!  But now I am left hanging and I must read the 2nd one asap! This book as pulled me in hook, line, and sinker. 

I love a good romance …..and this is WAY more than a romance let me say…blushing red romance.  I wish Terence would read it.  I think most women wish their men would read it.  My husband is not a reader, but dang…I wish he would, it might inspire some spice in our 11 year marriage….you know what I’m saying??? ha ha!!!  I really loved KLaw’s review.  She’s the funniest writer and as blunt as I’ll get out…but she doesn’t hold back and that is why I love her blog 🙂

Okay enough about that…have you read the book?  What do you think about it?

All of 2

Connor right now you are every bit a 2 year old.
You run and jump off things.  It scares me to death….but you are all boy!  You’ve also been rambling a lot.  Although I don’t understand what you are saying half the time it’s fun to see you get so excited about things.  I wish I had more time with you during the day, but I do enjoy our evenings together and we have so much fun! 
Last night I took some pictures of you 🙂
It’s going to be a fun summer that is for sure!

Love you sweet boy!
Mama

First Years Sippy Cup Giveaway!

We got some Cars sippy cups from The First Years awhile ago and I’ve been meaning to tell you all about them!  Connor LOVES the movie Cars!  He’s also a 2 year old who is very opinionated and when I give him the option of what cup he wants what do you think he chooses? 

CARS.

The First Years introduces Magical Color Change technology in their Disney Insulated Cup line, which remains BPA Free. When Mom pours chilled liquid into the insulated cup, it magically changes to a darker color. As the liquid cools to room temperature, the cup changes back to its original color. Parents will love the peace of mind this technology provides and children will marvel at the magic of color change!

Your child’s favorite Disney characters (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Disney Princess, Disney Fairies, Toy Story 3 and Cars 2) combined with new BPA-Free Magical Color Change technology will bring fun to every mealtime! The cups make clean up easy for parents too with the exclusive Easy Clean Valve System™, a one-piece lid with a built in spill-proof valve, eliminating the need for extra cleaning. Watch the magic here.

All The First Years Sippy Cups are BPA-free and dishwasher safe. These cups feature double-wall insulation to keep a child’s drink cooler longer and a “sweat-proof” surface making it easier to grip. 

We are loving our Cars cups!  Connor also likes to watch the color change 🙂

9 oz. cup. Age 9 months and up. MSRP: 2 pack $8.99
