I'm going to see it tomorrow; I've heard that the movie is much better. Is it more faithful to the book? That book was hard to get through. I just read Gone with the Wind and I'm not sure I can handle New Moon again right after. Well, except for the ending. :)

The movie was true to the feelings of the book and pretty close on events. I liked it a lot but it would be interesting to get Josh's take since he can watch without prior knowledge and give a more true assessment of the movie as it stands alone. Oh, gosh, Joey! It took me forever to get through Gone With the Wind, too!

I thought Zoe was sick? Is she sharing the bug with other kids?
- Louis Gray
When we first moved here we had annual passes and it got old, but it has been renovated and it is amazing! There are three floors now and my favorite is the Tot Spot. We almost got kicked out of the toddler section for starting a plastic ball war. Zoe got on live TV with Channel 2 News because they were doing Trick or Treating. My phone died that's why you're getting all this after the fact.

Oh, and Zoe's not sick anymore. Five days of stomach flu was enough, sheesh!

Louis, her visiting Nana was first to get sick, then Zoe, then the boys and Trish, then me. By the time I started getting it, Zoe was pretty much "all bedder". :)
- Josh Haley
What-what? on da news? record it, yo!
- Josh Haley
Trish, Josh will hate me, but there are sticker kits that he can apply to the patches and will survive the wash. That's what I use.
- Jesse Stay
Huh. I guess that would make life easier. I was thinking you were pretty amazing to be sewing your patches on. Sneaky.
- Trish Haley
We just used the stickers for our new scout. For years we had sewn them on (well, we had someone sew them on for us). But no more. Badge Magic FTW (http://www.badgemagic.com)
- Craig Eddy
Thanks Craig for the link... I'll be looking into it for future. Oh... wait. I have a fabric glue that I use for making hair bows. Going to try it. :D
- Trish Haley
Done! I sewed two knots, glued one knot and six others. That would have taken me hours if I had sewn them all.

I remember my GS badges being iron-on. Have things changed that much since the 70's and we have gone backwards?

Three weeks with my mom flew by... it's a good visit when after three weeks you feel like you could go another three weeks. Back to reality... no more shopping sprees. :(.
I'm with my mom and she so doesn't get me Friendfeeding at the store in real time. I'm slowly making progress with her. I made her get a gmail account.

So much for the touristic week... I'm handing out Pedialyte pops to my mom and baby. Everyone else better stay healthy.

Josh get her a pro account on flickr and have her pipe those images to clustershot. you may have a gold mine on your hands. As a matter of fact, stop posting pictures Josh; yours suck, hers Rock!
- Carlos Ayala
Josh's pictures suck. Trish's pictures rock. So Josh - You should go suck rocks.
- Morgan Haley
Thanks Carlos and Joe and Morgan! Akiva, I've already got a new window in it. I hope we can move forward and work through our mutual feelings.
- Trish Haley
Josh - it was the kids across the street. I'm sure of it. Send me the coordinates and I'll call in an air strike. Or if you prefer to go old school, I'll ship you my sandblasting kit and some assorted tie downs. Then next time I visit, we can kidnap those bastards, strap them to the wall and sandblast the skin off their left legs, starting about mid-thigh and working downwards. that will teach them to break Trish's window!
- Morgan Haley
oh, wait. i don't have a sandblaster...darn it. well, i guess you should just forget about the window and be grateful that you got some cool photos out of the whole thing....those kids got lucky...this time....mwa hahahahaha!
- Morgan Haley
Morg, you're kind of freakish with the power tools, aren't cha? But DEFINITELY a good thing that it was just my window and not one of my kids that got hit by a mystery object. One of our neighbors came by today while we were outside setting up the four square again (since it rained super hard last night) and said that a pebble could have hit the window and bounced to the ground instead of going into the car. Hmmm.
- Trish Haley
Trish - that guy, the one that has the theory about the 'magical pebble of destruction', yeah, he's on the list with the kids from across the street. we might just have to schedule him for some amateur laser eye surgery night. I'll get the soldering gun and some new X-acto blades just in case...
- Morgan Haley
Man, I don't feel so bad about my car getting egged the other day now. Dang. That's awful, Trish!!
- Her Lindsay-ness
HAHAHAHA... I am so freaked out by lasik surgery. You scare me, Morgan. @Lindsay, I still hope you catch the punks who egged your car. You can borrow Morgan when you do.

UPDATE: three cars in our neighborhood were hit yesterday, one belonging to a family we know. The cops better take note that there's some punk walking or riding around bashing in people's windows.
- Trish Haley
Wow. So much for the rogue pebble theory!
- Rochelle
I think you should import Morgan to implement PUNKWATCH.
- Spidra Webster
Morgan would end up in prison for provoked, justifiable, yet still illegal manslaughter. It would ruin Christmas.
- Josh Haley
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Several cars on our street were hit today. I talked to one of the neighbors while she cleaned up shattered glass. She said there were hundreds hit last night in two other neighborhoods. The police officers had to call in reinforcements just to deal with the amount of reports that are coming in. I've seen police cars patrolling our neighborhood all week, so I hope they catch the punks. Morgan called it. They're using a BB Gun.
- Trish Haley
Oh my goodness. That's terrible. I hope the ends soon.
- Miriella
nice pics! You should have the neighborhood thugs come by and break more stuff. I wonder if Josh's iPhone glass would shatter in a pretty pattern like that? :-O
- Jim Hearts FF
@Miriella, thank you for your sympathy. I'm worried that we will get hit again now that I've fixed the window. :( @Jim, you kill me sometimes :)
- Trish Haley
notice I said nothing about YOUR iPhone. ;)
- Jim Hearts FF
I WOULD NOT SAY SUCH THINGS IF I WERE YOU!

Which is worse: paying $140 for a required meningitis shot at the doctor and waiting an hour OR paying $4 for a required meningitis shot and waiting two and a half hours?
Oh, we went the $4 route, but forgot to mention the lady with three kids that she kept raising her arm to. Zoe was sympathetic to the one little boy who kept getting hit for real.
- Trish Haley
Oh, and you can apply for an educators discount card to receive 10% off all year round. I wish I had known that the last time we were there buying books for their curriculum.

Got my Educator's Card! THSC card came in handy. :)
