my favorite movie, day 28

Like most things, I can't pick just one. 
So I put three of my TOP favorite movies. 


Numero Uno:
Penelope
I love everything about this movie, from the storyline to the acting and all the beautiful colors~like in Penelopes bedroom~ and the clothes. Oh! The clothes!! If I dressed like her in real life, I would be beyond happy. 
Of course, I wouldn't wear the scarf around my face since I don't have a pig nose, but if I did......

Number 2:
The Count of Monte Cristo
This movie is fantastic. I think I have watched it at least 10 times (that's a very modest guess). My first copy was broken by one of my sweet children (grrr) but my mom quickly replaced it for me. 
My favorite part of the movie is when Mercedes and Edmond reunite:

Edmond: If you ever loved me, don't rob me of my hate, it's all I have.
Mercedes: Let it go Edmond. I don't know what dark plan lies within you, nor do I know by what design we were asked to live without each other these past 16 years but God has offered us a new beginning, don't slap his hand away.
Edmond: God? Can I never escape Him?
Mecedes: No. He is in everything. Even in a kiss. 

And then they kiss and I get chills every time.....



 Number 3:
Hope Floats.
One of the only movies in which I find Harry Connick Jr.... attractive, maybe? Attractive might not be the word but I'm not sure what is.. I just like him in this movie.

I love movies. There's many more I could have put on here like Dan in Real Life, Frequency, Emma (Masterpiece Theater version), Princess Bride ~ although my kids have not caught on to my love of that movie yet. 
But like I said these are my top three.
You should really consider watching them if you never have...

I have never seen Penelope but now I think I should. The other two I love. I really need to watch Monte Cristo again. Love Harry in Hope Floats. I just got a flashback of Bernice yelling for her dad "Don't leave me!" Makes me cry every time! I really enjoyed the video of Stephen and Josh dancing. It cracked me up to hear Steve tell Josh to dance and to see his little leg shaking. Such super cute kids! I think Jenni Cloward and I need to come and see you are at least meet in SLC sometime in the near future....

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
