Our two youngest and I just went to Blockbuster, where I paid way too much money to rent several things. I'm sure I came off as a complete yokel as I asked how much it cost to rent a Wii game and handed over this:
I was told the amount, to which I replied, stunned, "Eight bucks?! To rent a game?!"
There's a reason Bruce doesn't let me out to interact with the public often.
We're thinking about buying the game but want to test drive it first. For the next five days, I'll be telling the kids over and over, "Keep it up and I'll shut the dumb thing off!" Ahhh, the joys of technology.
Well, a trip to Blockbuster is not complete without coming out of the store with an actual movie. So we got this to watch with the kids:
We sometimes cave to advertising in this house. Yes, we do. My kids have seen the commercial for this movie and are constantly sing-songing this little ditty:
"Bow-chicka-wow-wow, chicka-wow-wow."
In fact, my kids couldn't actually tell me the name of the movie, just that "It's the one where they say, 'Bow-chicka-wow-wow, chicka-wow-wow.'"
Hmmmm, helpful, but I need something more to go on there kiddos! As we pulled into Blockbuster's parking lot, we hit pay dirt with the movie poster in the window.
"That's the 'bow-chicka-wow-wow' movie, Mom!"
Mystery solved.
I admit, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie, too. I'm a huge fan of both Jason Lee from "My Name is Earl" and Matthew Gray Gubler from "Criminal Minds". Lee plays Dave Seville, a struggling musician, and Gubler voices Simon, one of the chipmunks.
Check it out.
You know you think he's cute. I'm, of course, talking about the one wearing blue.
Umm, hmm. Bow-chicka-wow-wow!
I couldn't help myself. Sorry. It's just so catchy!
And for Bruce and me, I rented these two:
I wanted a chick flick, but I'm feeling charitable toward my hubby, so I stuck with stuff he'd like. In the very near future, though, Allison and I are shipping our men off on a "Guys Only" camping trip. And she and I are totally pumped about the prospect of seeing this one:
I hope I've picked well for this weekend's viewing. I'll let you know what I think later.

First of all I love that guy from Criminal Minds...but aren't they both wearing blue??
Second, that is so funny you got Alvin & the Chipmunks because we are headed there after baseball practice tonight to rent it also!!! Davis has been begging to see it.
Third...can I come watch Enchanted with you?? HA I have tried to talk the kids into seeing it...after all Davis liked watching Bring It On (cheerleading movie) with me but I have had no luck!
Sounds like you are up for a fun weekend especially since it will be rainy until Sunday!! Great time to veg in front of the TV!!
Nicole, of course they're both wearing blue. They're both cute, right? ;-)
Enchanted is the BEST!! I cried in it, a few different times...Yes, I cry when I watch Hannah Montana sometimes too...but this one is an Awesome movie...You will have to let me know what you think of it...I took Macey to see it in the theater...It got a 5 star rating from the Allen girls...We are planning on watching a movie tonight also...We are Marshall...Kurt and Bicki were telling us about the Carnival Wii games...they said it was lots of fun....Have a great weekend....
Yes Tanja, they are both cute...plus being smart also is definately a plus!! :o)
I am so glad that show came back on this week!!
Did you like Alvin and the Chipmunks?? We LOVED it!!! Definately going to have to buy that one!
Cassie, talk about a weep-fest. Bruce and I both shed a bunch of tears during We Are Marshall. I don't think you can watch that one and NOT cry. Tell me what you thought. I've never seen Matthew Mc. be a geek before, but he does it well here. Of course, it was the 70s (I think), so some of that couldn't be helped. But that coach he plays was just odd. :-)
Tanja, you were right...Loved We are Marshall....It was definately an emotional one....We are big football fans, so we thouroughly enjoyed this one, plus the emotion.
We also wathced Music and Lyrics, with Drew Barrymore, It was great too...A good little romantic film....I am a sucker for a good chick flick...
