#1 - We give our old cell phones to play with. The bubs LOVE pretending they have phone calls or are text messaging their friends. The other day I was driving to Home Depot with Hubs, all 3 bubs, and brother-in-law-who-now-lives-with-us (who will heretofore be known as "Bil"). 3yo was playing with my old Samsung Glyde - not an advert for the phone, as I totally hated it - when Bil asked her what she was doing. 3yo: "I'm texting to Twitter. Duh." Hubs turned to me. Me: "Ohmigod, she is totally my kid."
#2 - One of the best reasons I found for following some of my favorite places on Facebook is finding out about events that might take a while to learn of otherwise. Case in point: The King's English (SLC's awesometastical indie bookstore) does summer reading groups for kids, run by teachers, where kids are broken out into appropriate age groups, given reading lists, etc. It's like book club! And lucky for me, the timing of both kids' sessions are the same, which means I'm gonna get an hour once a week to hang out at my fave indie bookshop! Woohoo!
#3 - It's a pirate life this weekend at the Aphayrath house. Jake and the Neverland Pirates, that is. All my pre-planning efforts were for naught when 3yo decided she HAD to change the theme of the party 2 weeks ago (I've been gone for 1 week), so now I'm scrambling to get everything ready. *sigh*
#4 - I've not seen The Hunger Games movie yet. Nor have I read the book. *ducks flying tomatoes* I've not seen the Avengers yet. I don't know when I will. Here's my reasoning why: there's been so much hype, so much positive gushing, just so much ... much that I'm not sure if I want to experience any of these for fear that I will be so devastatingly disappointed because of all the gushing there's just no way any of these could live up to my expectations. Irrational fear? Yeah, probably. Is there someone out there who can convince me otherwise? I'm not sure ...

Okay, so The Hunger Games was good, but since I didn't read the book I have no comparison as to its awesomeness. As for The Avengers... OMG GO WATCH IT NOW!!!!!! It was STUPENDOUS! AMAZING! My favorite movie so far this year! I honestly don't think you'll be disappointed. The story was good, the writing is tight, and there's just enough comic relief. I actually think I'm going to go see it again on Saturday. AVENGERS!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
I've read the Hunger Games series and I loved 'em. So I was excited to see the movie and I was majorly disappointed. It was cheesy and there was such a lack of character development. I think the main character comes off as a different person than in the book. But since you haven't read it then you might actually like the movie. Oh but Som and Sam both disliked it as much as I did.
