I was doing an exercise and it said to name your three favorite movies and find the common theme between them.
So
1. 10 Things I Hate About You
2. Remember the Titans
3. Sound of Music
Besides having fantastic soundtracks, what common themes do these three movies have in common???
We finally cancelled our satellite TV service.
We had been talking it over for months, debating the pros and cons. We put that DVR to good use during the first year of the twins’ lives. We watched many House Hunters International during dreamfeeds and caught up on House and 1000 Places to See Before You Die during the middle of the night feeds. We ran through a Sesame Street phase, a Sid the Science kid phase, a Super Why phase and finally a Dora phase with the girls.
But… the kids are older. No more middle of the night feeds. No more dreamfeeds. No more nursing at all (but that’s a whole ‘nother post). We’re busy and we decided to pull the plug.
And.
I love it.
The first few weeks we didn’t even have the antenna up and I didn’t miss it. I enjoyed the quiet and the extra time I found in my day. We are checking out DVDs from the library for the girls screen time and we actually hooked up the VCR from college and watched our wedding video for the first time ever! I also watched part of the cruise video from high school…. yet another post.
We’ve got the antenna hooked up now and receive the basic channels (although still no ch 7 which is in fact the closest one). I’m glad we’ll be able to watch some sporting events live or turn on the news for updates. But perhaps the best benefit of all is that it should afford me more time to blog!
Who hasn’t found their kid into the tissues, the toilet paper, or the wipes? Its like a kid rite of passage.

Can you guess which was the instigator and which was the follower?
Dear Finn,
We hear that you received the same door plaything that we did for Christmas! However, we just don’t understand how it could be any fun for you. I mean who is on the other side of the door every time you open it? And who is there to open the window every time you close it? And really who slams the door on your head when you are halfway through it? We are sorry you can’t have any fun with your new toy. We’ll be glad to show you how its done.
Love, Rhys & Owen
Finding her like this just makes my little book loving heart go pitter-patter. Next she’s going to be reading by flashlight in bed and parking her book behind her cereal bowl. Not that I would know anything about that.
Sunday was Selection Sunday and that is my second favorite Fitz Fam tradition. We’ve been picking teams for the tournament forever and so we gather to watch the Selection Show, eat some pizza and find out what teams we get to pull for during the tournament.
This year we drafted teams for the first time. It took a lot of concentration.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have much concentration so I don’t even remember what teams I got- except BYU! Are my teams on my bracket?
Owen even helped. This year is extra special because J & I are going to the Final Four!!! Thanks to his work, we have great seats for the games and are really really super excited about it. Like totally excited.
So my dream Final Four would be: Duke, UNC, BYU (I want to see Jimmer play!) and Wofford (Go SoCon!). Its not going to happen because BYU and Wofford play each other in the first round.
