Craziness.

Even though I haven't posted in over a week, it doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of the blog world!  It has just been crazy!  Okay, here is what's been going on:
Movie Reviews -
"Dinner for Schmucks" Not really sure what to say.  In fact, words can not describe this movie.  Best part is noticing Jeff Dunham in the movie! 
"One for the Money" My mom, BFF, SIL, MIL, and SIL's MIL (got all that?? BFF = Best Friend, SIL = Sister in law, MIL = Mother in law, & SIL's MIL = Sister in law's mother in law!  he he!!) all went.  We have all read the Janet Evanovich series and LOVED them!  Well actually, BFF and I listened to them.  I was disappointed, but liked it.  Some of the cast just didn't seem right.  By the end of the movie, I was okay with the staff.  My favorite?  Lula. The boxer dude was exactly what I pictured - scary!  I was most looking forward to Morelli and Ranger (prior to knowing who plays them).  I'm still not 100%, but they might grow on me.  So far, the book was much better!!!
Dinners -
Have I mentioned I {heart} pinterest???  I've We've made two meals found on pinterest.  How do they look??

Crunchwrap Supreme!

Oh my goodness!!  Crunchwrap Supreme made in my house?!?  I didn't have to go into town!  Woo hoo!!! 
French Dip Crescents
I fell in love with french dip sandwiches from Quiznos.  I never imagined they could be made at home!  It was so easy that Jason even made it!  We have NO leftovers from either meal.


The crunchwrap supreme's were so simple - I couldn't believe it.  I thought, this is not possible.  It is not going to turn out.  I browned 1lb of ground beef and added a taco season packet.  I warmed the tortilla's in the microwave for a minute.  Spread about a tablespoon of sour cream on the warmed tortilla and top with some ground beef and cheese in the center.  I used velveeta cheese (as opposed to shredded cheese or nacho cheese).  I would have loved to try nacho cheese, but I can never figure out where to find it in the store!!  Place a layer of tortilla chips, then lettuce and tomatoes.  Wrap it up and put on a skillet (face down).  Brown it up!  It was amazing. 

Hubby loved it!!

Colton was NOT very happy; he wanted some!



The french dip crescents were just as amazing!!  I can't tell ya if we did anything different, because Jason made it!!!  The au jus sauce was a packet mix.  AMAZING! 
 I love Andrew's purple thumb from school! 




Poor Tyler couldn't get the thumb part right and used his index finger instead!  I love these little guys!



New Beginnings:
We decided it was time to put our boys in a new school.  It all started a while ago when we started discussing preschool for our oldest.  I didn't know what to do - both Jason and I work full-time.  Did I really want to go to two drop offs in the AM??  I dreaded the decision.  I really don't like change; I like a schedule and knowing what's going to happen next.  But I knew I had to do something, so we've been looking and asking for MONTHS!!!  Finally, we found a school who offered us everything - one drop off, school programs, reasonable pricing (through a reimbursement program), and close.  The boys met the teachers and we loved everyone.  I wasn't sure if we would be able to get them all in at once (ages 4, 2, and 6 months), then we got the phone call.  ALL OF THEM CAN GO!!!  Woo hoo!  So, we arranged it all, and they started this week.  Monday and Tuesday only for a few hours, but today - ALL DAY!  I'm nervous.  I've already called a few times and of course, they are great!  Can't wait to get back into a routine!!

"I'm sexy and I know it"

I found a status update for Jason on his facebook account.  I'm explaining the status update to Jason and it ends with "and I'm sexy".  Immediately, Andrew started singing "I'm sexy and I know it".  I love it!  I didn't even know he knew that song - I guess he really does pay attention.  Everyday he comes up with something different and it just amazes me! 
Have you ever seen the show "Impractical Jokers" on truTv?  If not, you must start watching it ASAP.  J and I watched two episodes last night.  I couldn't stop laughing.  The show is about four guys playing jokes.  I can't even explain it.  It is just hysterical.  Look it up. 
In other news, I woke up to breakfast this morning.  I know what you are thinking - aww how sweet, Jason made breakfast.  Wrong.  Andrew made breakfast - that's right, my 4 year old son made breakfast.  He got up, went downstairs, and made waffles.  The toaster was already on the counter AND plugged in (not a normal practice AT ALL).  He took the waffles out of the freezer and put them in the toaster.  The waffles even had spray butter on them.  I had to grab my camera and take a picture - it was way too sweet.
He had a little plate out for Tyler and big plates for everyone else.  It was so cute.
We watched Friends with Benefits tonight.  It was a great chick flick.  I was surprised at how well Justin Timberlake acted.  Even more surprising was that my favorite part was him rapping!  :)

Sneaky, Sneaky

What do you do when it's 830 at night and your child asks for something to eat (normal bedtime is between 7 and 8)?  Last night, Jason and I were watching a really good movie (movie review coming up) and decided to let the boys stay up a little later.  The movie ends and we start herding the boys to bed.  Jason sees Andrew fix his pj pants and hears crinkling.  He asks him what is in his pants.  Turns out, Andrew decided to hide a fruit snack in his pj pants.  Whoah - what do you do?  He knows he is not allowed to have food upstairs and tries to be sneaky with the fruit snack.  Well, Jason put the fruit snacks in the trash.  I started thinking, Andrew ate a good dinner and had a nice dessert.  But he loves snacks.  Half the time, snacks is all I can get Tyler to eat!!  What do you do??  I still can't believe he tried to sneak them upstairs in his pants!!!!!!  I'm thinking it's hereditary from Jason not me of course!!

Movie Reviews!!!
I love watching movies!!  In the past week, we have watched three movies:  Our Idiot Brother, Killer Elite, and The A-Team.  Our Idiot Brother was good - nothing too spectactular.  I know I didn't have to think much to enjoy this movie.  The main actor drove me crazy with his long hair and facial hair.  I wanted him to clean up!!  Killer Elite was an action packed movie.  It didn't get good reviews, so I was delighted that I wanted to continue watching it.  I was disappointed in DeNiro's part as he was barely in the movie.  The best movie was The A-Team, by far.  Bradley. Cooper. Shirtless. Need I say more?? he he.  Overall, I really enjoyed watching this movie.  It had some unexpected twists.  I had no idea the A-Team was an old tv show.  I loved seeing how the plans came together.
