Thursday Thoughts

It's Thursday and I'm back to link up with Jen for some Thursday Thoughts with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom.  

• So very random but I was talking to some people about dinner routines and when M is home for dinner the boys have some set questions they ask him.  They always ask " How was your day?" "What did you have for lunch?" and "Did you get anything done today?"  I have no idea how it started but it really gets them at least involved in the conversation. He is turn asks them about school and playgroup or whatever else he knows we did that day.  Do you guys have a similiar routine? Do you get the kids involved in your dinner conversations?
• Speaking of my boys while they may fight and yell at each other one minute. The next minute they will be like this and happy as can  be.

• C and I hit up Target this morning since N wants to do appetizer-palooza for dinner since football is on tonight. I think we will be switching between the UNC game and the Panthers game. He is in little boy heaven. Anyway while we were there C was working on his Christmas list and wanted to make sure I took a picture of him with the new Disney Infinity 3.0.  I will admit this one looks pretty great and I can't wait to let the boys play ;) ;)

• Speaking of football NC State kicks off this weekend and the boys are all excited.  I've been loving the timehop this week as it keep showing me the opening game pictures.  I can't believe how little the boys look.  Check back on Monday for my Currently post and I'm sure to have some pics from this weekend :)

That's it from here. Besides football we don't really have any plans for the weekend.  Do you guys have anything going on?

Have a great Labor Day weekend!!!

Good morning!!!  I'm back for my weekly recap and to link up with Becky over at Choose Happy for her Currently post.

Currently.....

Remembering--- all the fun we had last week with my niece.  She and C had a blast and did really well until the last day when during carpool they had a very lengthy but civil conversation about how they were not inviting the other one to their birthday parties. LOL  They are a riot.

Crafting--- the fun with the kids last week.  We did cute as a button picture frames and also did a little body tracing in addition to all of the pictures we made all week.  #thesekidslovetocraft

Smiling--- at Cs new favorite thing to do which is to make a mean face and tell me to take a picture and then we have to also do a happy face so noone thinks he's always upset. LOL

Amused--- at Ns sense of style.  I'm all about kids showing their personality in their clothes and WOW does N have a loud personality. LOL  He had school pictures last week and we went shopping for new clothes. He got to pick it out himself and this is what he choose.  Uhm yea I'm not sure bright orange is the color for my little ginger.  I'm sure with the bland backgrounds of school pictures the bright will look great but still probably not my first choice.  Oh and what is it with boys and socks up to their knees? I mean we live in NC and it was almost 90 last week when he wore this but that doesn't really matter he wears the knee socks even when it is over 100 outside.  \

Planning--- all the things C and I need to do this week before he goes to school after Labor Day. I feel like we have tons of errands this week so I'm sure next weeks Currently will be full of very random pics of our adventures. :)

Have a great week everyone. Are you up to anything amazing?

TV Talk Tuesday and a linkup

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW - ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

I've take a couple weeks off for summer and things just being crazy but now that the summer shows are ending and new shows are starting I'm back. :) Let me know what you are watching and what I really need to check out.  I record almost everything so sometimes I talk about shows that have been off for awhile or are a couple weeks old but I love spoilers so go ahead and talk the new stuff if you want.  If you would like to join in the fun I'm adding a link up to the bottom so join us and talk some TV.

So I'm writing this right after I watched the premier of Fear the Walking Dead and I will say my overall first impression is pretty positive. I do think that it had some slow parts but then there is always so much set up in a pilot episode that it is to be expected.  I like how they kindof played with it being a figment of Nicks mind.  We know that it isn't but I'm thinking that is a bit of a play on how somepeople say that Walking Dead is all in Ricks comatose mind. It was a cool nod to that while also playing with the story.  Based on the previews I'm thinking the whole story will pick up pretty quick coming up.  Oh and if you watched did you freak out when they went to Thunder Road? I texted my friend right away and said "OMG Thunder Road" LOL just a little fangirl freak out going on. Did you guys watch? What did you think? I'm thinking it will be a good fill in until the Walking Dead comes back.

I finally caught up on Astronaut Wives Club and I didn't realize that last week was the finale but I can see how it was finishing up. I enjoyed the show for its limited run but I wouldn't say it was anything exciting. I was just a nice show to watch and see how the women behind the men were handling things then.  It made a good summer show.  I know they say there will not be another season and I can see that but I would love to see how and if the ladies kept up with each other over the years.  I read an article that said most of them did end in divorce but they all seemed to have great lives over the years.

So I am way behind the times but you know that happens when you have kids. Heading out to the movies just isn't as easy as it used to be. Anyway I had heard great thing about The Fault in our Stars but I hadn't seen it. This weekend I watched it on the TV and WOW it was good. It was so happy and sad at the same time. I have not read the book but my sister keeps telling me to and that I would love John Green's books so I might have to pick them up.  Of course this might not have been the best movie to watch for someone who has had melanoma twice but that won't stop me from watching it again when I catch it on the tv.

Good morning!!!  I'm up this morning and linking up with Becky over at Choose Happy for her Currently post and my weekly update.  

Currently.....

Excited--- for a fun week around here.  My niece is here for the week and we have lots of playtime and park time planned out. Now hoping the weather cooperates.

Loving--- that N loves school.  He really is loving 2nd grade and it makes getting up and ready so early in the morning.  I know this won't last as the years go by but for now I'm loving it.

Thankful--- for a great flag football season. N had a blast and loved playing his first real organized sport.  I really need to look at the schedule and see if we can work a fall season out around Wolfpack football games.

Bewildered--- that I'm really at a loss on what else to share this week. LOL  I somehow took very few pictures last week and this weekend and those are usually how I come up with my post. :)

So I guess that is it for me today.  Anyone have any big plans the week?

Have a great Monday,

Jenny
