TV Talk

Back again after being away and just really need to talk some TV. As always there will be SPOILERS below so enter at your own risk.

Let's just start right in with The Walking Dead. OMG they started off with a bang this spring season. I kindof knew about Carl and that whole scene from the comics but it did not start out how I was expecting. I didn't think that Daryl, Sasha or Abraham would be killed but the others getting blown up was just WOW I'm not sure what to say about it. But can we just say how awesome Abraham is. His little side remarks are just great and I love them. So glad they came and saved the town. I can not wait for next week.

We are a little behind but M and I just finished up the fall season of the Librarians. I LOVE this show. It is easy to watch and while very corny it does have an overlying story and mythology going through it. Plus who doesn't love watching Christian Kane each week? ;) Since it had been awhile since it aired I didn't remember if the final episode was a season or a series finale and I'm not sure they did either when filming so they left it with something they could work on. I loved the going back to Shakespeare and weaving the story characters in even more. I'd love to see more of Moriarty but not sure he can come back with Prospero gone at least for now. We will for sure be watching when it comes back this spring.

I can't go without the talking Vampire Diaries. I know some people aren't really liking this season but I'm liking the new Damon. I am a bit confused with all the flashbacks and the Phenix stone stuff but it makes for a good story. I said earlier this season seeing the 3 year time jump is still a great way to give some meaning to some of the goings on in today's time. It seems like they will be dealing with the Huntress chick for awhile since she is still around in 3 years. I do wonder what is going on with Enzo and where he was. We know that he ends up with Bonnie so she must forgive him for whatever he does. Oh and let's not forget to talk about the ending of this weeks episode. I'm ready for Damon to get some of his swagger back even if it is with a weird who knows what kindof chick.

So those are what I have on my mind right now. What are you watching? Anything new I need to check out. I have a ton of things on my Tivo but they just aren't calling me so I may need to do some cleanout soon and just say I'm not watching some shows. I really need to look into that.

Happy Viewing!!!

Happy Monday everyone!!! N was supposed to track back into school this morning but we are having an ice issue here so he's home :(. He NEEDs to go back to school and he is ready to go back so hopefully they go tomorrow. Of course they have a field trip tomorrow so not much of a first day back. LOL This is going to be a C heavy post again today but he is much more into picture taking right now then N is so that is what you get. Have a great week and don't forget to check out the link up with Becky over at Choose Happy for her Currently.

Currently.....

Cheering--- for my little man to turn 5. His birthday was last week and he had a blast. You can see how silly he currently is and he keeps thinking he is going to kindergarten right now. He thought it when we registered him and again now that he's 5. Sorry kid you have to wait until July for that. :)

Partying--- with C for his school Valentine's party. Don't preschools do such great fun with parties? I love out preschool and all the fun that we have.

Crafting--- for Valentine's Day. We had a melted crayon kit here that both boys wanted to use. C was the first one so we made some really cute melted crayon popsicles and candy to bag and give to his friends. We also used the Paper Pumpkin January 2016 kit to add the tags to the edges. I still love my kits and if you are wanting a fun monthly craft box the 3 month sub is on sale and you will get a sale-a-bration item. That is a great deal. You can check it out HERE.

That is my quick catch up for today. I'm still in major shock from the Walking Dead last night and I want to try and watch it again today. Hmm maybe I'll send the boys out to play in the Sleet so I can watch ;) I'm sure they won't mind. LOL

Have a great Monday!!!

Oh WOW how did it get to be February already. I swear we just celebrated New Years and now we are onto the second month of the year. Craziness I tell you. The last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic around here so I haven't had a chance to blog but I'm back tonight to check in with my normal Monday link up with Becky over at Choose Happy for her Currently post and a little recap.

Currently.....

Happy--- that the snow is over. It snowed on a Friday and then again on Saturday and the kids were back to school by Tuesday. That has to be a record here for NC. Of course last weekend and this week we are hitting 70 so the snow still in the shade is even melting. I'm ready for spring already.

Unbelieving--- that my Mr Man is 8 already. It is so hard to believe that N turned 8 last week. He is tracked out of school so he got to hang out with me and decided he wanted bundt cake for dessert after having cicis for dinner. We love bundt cake in our family. :) Since he is growing so much he got a new bike for his birthday and we've been able to ride it a lot so far. It looks so big on him but he'll hopefully get a full years out of this one.

Enjoying--- track out so far. We had our snow and now we have mild weather so they can go out to play. N has taken full advantage so far with going to the library, sitting in front of the fire and taking a basketball technique class at our clubhouse. He is learning so much.

Smiling--- at C. I can't leave him out this week. He just makes me smile he is so stinkin' cute. Both boys got bean bag chairs for Christmas and as you can see they love them. This was how he played the other day and said take my picture so of course I did.

Loving--- my cat Kali. I feel like I've posted about her a lot lately but she has been really lovey and all over me of late. I have a feeling that its not a great sign since she is 18years old but I'm enjoying it as much as I can.

We have another big week of errands and clearing out here and basketball. N is home for two more weeks before he goes back to school so we are going to try to work in a museum or two and some other fun day outings while we can but he really is happy being home and just vegging some. I swear his being 8 makes him act more and more like a teenager. LOL

Have a great week everyone,

Jenny

Thursday Thoughts

I haven't done this post in awhile but I'm here today to link up for Thursday Thoughts with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom.

Are you all expecting the bad weather this weekend? We are supposed to get ice and some snow tomorrow and since NC doesn't do well in winter I expect to be in the house for awhile.

I have the best friends. I've said before we make gifts for each other for Christmas and my friend Michelle made these for us. She talks about them over on her blog 3 Monkeys Throwing Around some Paper the other day. Mine has a prominent spot in my bathroom :)

Do any of you do a chart like this? I took a screen shot of this one the other day. We have some unwritten chores here that they do but I think I could come up with some extras for them. Mine are trying to raise money for when we go to Disney so thinking this might work. We would have the you must do your required chores first and then you could do extras for money. N is tracked out next week and we are going to work on it.

I used this as my Throwback Thursday today and it has me just a little to excited. We are currently waiting on our next set of bands and can't wait for it to be our time to go.

Stay safe this weekend everyone.

Happy Monday!!! Are your kids home today? Both of mine are with one going back tomorrow and the other on Wednesday. So we've been busy getting things ready for the week and then track out that starts next week. So checking in with my normal Monday link up with Becky over at Choose Happy for her Currently post and a little recap.

Currently.....

Amused--- with the weather. It was 60 the other day and then yesterday it snowed and today its in the 30s. Craziness here but that is what we get in NC.

Hungry---and I want more bundt cakes. LOL N had early release on Friday so we ran to Nothing Bundt Cakes for a little weekend snack. Hmm I wonder if the boys would notice if I went while they were at school this week and got one to eat all by myself ;)

Watching--- football. I'm a boymom and out numbered here so with all the games this weekend we did a lot of this. Yesterday with the snow and rain we stayed in and wore jammies all day. It also meant pizza in front of the tv. Go Panthers!!!

Sad--- shopping. I realized this week that we are really out of the toddler section. C can wear a 5T if the store offers it but the regular 5s fit better and he really wants to older kid look of a 5. I'll miss shopping for all the little clothes.

Laughing--- at this floating around my feeds last week. This is the best and if you have Disney kids you will totally understand. I'd love me a toodles to work around my house.
