Happy Thanksgiving!!

Lord of the Rings

Lord of the Rings all nighter last night. Five kids (three girls and two boys, though one other girl came for the first movie. It was so EPIC!!!! It was the first time I'd ever seen the movies, and I really liked them. Of course, in the middle of the first one, I had to ask them to pause it and explain who was who, because I got so confused. But then I understood. My favorite character(s) were Pippin, Sam, Aragorn, and Legolas. Oh and the dwarf. I can't remember his name. One of my (many) favorite parts was when Legolas was "skateboarding" on a shield down the staircase, and shooting at the same time. I HATED Gollum. When he was nice I liked him, but then he was bad again, and he's just SO CREEPY!!! Violence, some parts were pretty gory, but all in all, I was OK with it.
Besides watching movies, we ate pizza, popcorn.....lots of Coke, and a bunch of other stuff I don't feel like typing out. We played a ton of Freeze between movies, a little bit of CatchPhrase, and over breakfast discussed Inheritance and Son of Neptune. We talked during the movies a LOT....*glares at the boys even though they'll never read this*It was so fun!!!

Now...good day, I must depart to read the latest chronicle of Eragon and his mighty dragon. Mwahahaha!!!!!

P.S. We were talking about Aragorn, all of us said Eragon at least once and they rest of us would "What are talking about??"

Fun times

One of my favorite parts about living in India ~ My friends and I can have a water balloon fight in November. And then eat cake. And then jump/get pushed into the pool with our clothes on. And then get cokes and just wander around. And then debone a chicken. And listen to Jesus Freak at the same time...and I think that's all we did. :) It was epicness!!! XD XD XD 

Taj Mahal journal. :)

Pic of Taj Mahal. It was really foggy/hazy.

So, these are some journal entries I made on our trip to the Taj Mahal. BTW, Gramma and Papa are with us.

Hi ya'll! what's up with you? I'm currently on an airplane on my way to see the Taj Mahal. The flight hasn't been too bad-although they make you pay for you food,so all we got were drinks. It's 2 hours and 40 minutes. We had to get up at....wait for it....3 AM this morning.Yes, it was horrible, but I got a cream cheese chocolate chocolate cupcake, so that made it better. :P Anyway, we'll be landing soon.The seat belt light just came on. After we land, we have a three hour car ride, which really means 5 hours. *raises right hand* I solemnly promise to take pictures within one week.
We're landing now, get back with you soon!

Right now I'm sitting in a chair in our hotel room. I soo wish we were staying longer, because this is the nicest hotel any of us have ever been to. Holly's tap dancing in front of me, Mom's putting the kids to bed, and Dad's sick. :( But I need to backtrack...
Since my last entry, we got in the giant car (or a mini bus, however you want to do it) and started driving. It was boring and long. I slept for maybe 15 minutes of the 6 hours we were in that car. I'm tired, to say the least. When we (finally) got to the hotel we got these awesome yellow flower lei type things. And rose iced tea which I liked. Then we dumped our stuff and went to eat. I got fish and chips which was really good. By the time we were done it was almost 5 o clock. We got back in the car and started driving to the Taj Mahal. We picked up a guide, and I must say, he's good. So we saw the back of the Taj Mahal. We're going tomorrow at 5:30 am!!! I'm not pleased.

WARNING!!! Before you read this, please know I'm tired, hungry and grumpy. So I may be biased. *cough* I got up at 5 this morning, we went to the Taj. The adults found it fascinating, and I got some good pics.  It was big. Now I'm going to eat breakfast. (Yay!!)
Back. Now I'm in the breakfast restaurant. I ate pancakes and cereal and milk and pineapple and toast and a danish and water and juice and hash browns and an omelet and....I think that's it. I was hungry.

So yup....that was my journal. We also went to the Agra fort...it was un-exciting.

OMC....

Love this sign. It makes me laugh everytime.
