First Impressions

So I haven't read any of the Jane Austin books but they are on my list :) this movie has me more excited to read them! I love good, Christian movies like Fireproof, Courageous, and Facing the giants. This one looks like it is going to be right up there! :) 
Here is the teaser trailer :)

Can I get them combined?! :D

Okay so I was looking at bridal gowns just for fun...again ;) haha but I found these two that I really like but I want them combined! I like pretty much everything about this one...


but I like the whole sash idea with this one. And how it looks like civil war style :)


What do ya think? :D

Pertty dress ;)

Okay, I know it's a little soon to be looking at wedding gowns but they are so fun to look at! :D My little sister and I just had a ball last night looking at the different gowns and talking about whether or not we would wear them or not. And out of all the ones we looked at, I think this one is my favorite :) Plus the price is very good! 

7-year old logic

My younger brother, Kleo(7) has an area in the boys room that he is responsible to keep clean. Well he doesn't like to keep it clean, and mom will go help him clean it up sometimes. So Christmas is coming and I come up with an excellent plan to motivate Kleo to keep his area clean. I go into his room where he is slowly cleaning up and I say "there is 19 days till Christmas and I will give you a stick of gum for everyday that you have your area clean." (sugar free gum, of course). "And on Christmas you will get a nice present." His eyes light up and he says "Ooo gum!  I wonder what my present will be! Maybe a hundred boxes of toys!" He laughs wickedly, than stops "No! I don't want toys! Toys are my worst enemy!!!" I laugh at him and look at Klement, who is supervising Kleo and I say "what?" Klement laughs and says "he doesn't like toys, because than he has to clean them up." 
*Laughs* Yeah, Kleo is a rather funny child. But that is his logic, if he has to clean it up, he doesn't like it. Lol! :)

Look out! Flying cows!!!

So I recently got an iPad. And it is really nice! Well one of the games I downloaded on it was called cowabunga. Lol. Sometimes I will let my siblings play and it is really funny to watch them crowd around the iPad and squeal! Lol. 
Basically in this game, cows jump off of a cliff (sometimes more than one) and you have to catch them using a life raft and they bounce on the life raft all the way to the other side. 
The kids really start to squeal when you are bouncing three or four cows at once :D 


So go bounce a cow! lol ;)

My orange tambourine

For dessert at lunch today we had tangerines. They were rather delightful on this dreary looking day. And my seven year old brother, Kleo (who had yet to finish his lunch) asks "i want a tambourine too." Lol!!! We correct him; telling him it is a tangerine instead of a tambourine. A tambourine is a musical instrument. But even when corrected he continued to call them tambourine's throughout the rest of the meal. So then Karmen (who is ten) starts singing "my green tambourine". 

Lol, just another day at the Monroe house :)

Collie :)

For those of you who know me well; know that I adore Collie's. They have such natural elegance, and a beautiful grace. Loyal and sweet, they are the dogs of dreams. Or at least my dreams :) It is on my bucket list to get a purebred Collie. And when I can afford to get one, I will :)
