Driving

Well, Mandy is officially "out of the neighborhood." Today Dad let her drive on the normal road, including the busy 316. He later said that Mandy drives a lot like Mom does. We girls went to see Megan T., who had knee surgery this week so Mom made her an oreo cheesecake, and Mandy drove on the way home. She sure sped around those curves. But I got to drive home through the neighborhood.

Last night with the cousins was fun. They watched "Iron Man," and then Dad and we girls (including Sunny) went to the Abrahams' house for a small party celebrating the Hortons' 4oth wedding anniversary. When we got back, the boys (including Christopher who had joined them) were watching "Jaws." After that, since they hadn't seen "Ocean's 13" we watched that. After breakfast this morning, they had to go. Nonetheless, it was a fun time. It was funny when Mandy decided to finish off some ice cream in a carton and ate it straight out. Gabe and Noah decided that Mandy needed an "intervention" and stole the carton from her. Mandy chased Gabe all over the house, and it sounded and felt like a herd of elephants. Mandy won, of course, but it was funny.

Tonight I watched the funniest thing. There is a family at our church called the Bowmans who work for Georgia Right To Life (a pro-life group), and two of their sons are aspiring filmmakers. For some time, they've worked on a film project which parodies "Iron Man" called "Ironing Man." They posted the trailer on youtube, and we watched it. Man, it was hilarious.
