I was able to review a costume from www.justkidcostumes.com for Halloween. I chose a Cars 2 costume for my son, he absolutely loved it.   The costume is Lightning McQueen with muscles, costumes are always big on my so, but this costume fit perfectly. I really have to say that my son is just so cute in this costume.

This picture is his muscle face. LOL

The costume came with a body suit with a padded chest and arms, and a matching hat.

The Mentalist Complete 3rd Season Finale

- brandy3 1 Comment

In the Season 3 finale, Patrick confronts and shoots a man who claims to be the serial killer who murdered his wife and daughter – Red John.

The Finale was exciting, finally coming face to face with the man who killed your family has to be breath-taking. It was a big moment for the show. Unfortunately I don’t think it was the real Red John. The show has been mainly based around this Red John character and it’s hard to see the show going on the same course with Red John being dead. So my opinion is that he is not dead. The on

BridesMaids on DVD Party

- brandy3
Bridesmaids Movie | Official Site for the The Bridesmaids Film Blu-Ray
Thirty-something Annie (Kristen Wiig) has hit a rough patch but finds her life turned completely upside down when she takes on the Maid of Honor role in her best friend Lillian’s (Maya Rudolph) wedding. In way over her head but determined to succeed, Annie leads a hilarious hodgepodge of bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) on a wild ride down the road to the big event.
my Party did not turn out the way it was suppost to with Just a few people showing up and the kids getting up interrupting the movie constantly.
According to my guests it was roll on the floor hilarious.It’s a funny chick flick, but it’s stupid funny.
To me the movie was kind of long, and a to more graphic than I thought it was going to be. I mean the movie starts out with a couple having crazy sex.  It actually makes me kind of glad I did not have an official wedding.  The movie ended on a happy note, and kind of tearful. I will say that this is not a movie to watch on a quest stomach and definitely not a movie to watch on a date.
Drink of the night for me at least:
Coke with just a pinch of jack!

Setting up for the BridesMaids Party

- brandy3

No I’m not getting married, BridesMaids is coming to dvd and blu-ray on Tuesday. I haven’t seen the movie yet but people have been telling me it’s hilarious.  20th Century Fox has given me the opportunity to have a BridesMaids themed party for me and a few friends. Things haven’t been going the way I want, but I still am going to try and make the best of it. The party starts tonight after the kidlets go to sleep. The movie is definitely not appropriate for them.

Some party prep, with the kids help.

 

I’m trying to keep things as healthy as I can, we are trying to eat healthy.

Streamers

Balloons, which my kids will not leave alone.

So I am setting up for the party tonight, hopefully everything goes as planned.

Quagmire Kids Color Fusion Shirt Review

- brandy3 2 Comments

 

Quagmire Kids – full line of stylin’ threads for the skate park, surf camp, the golf course or detention – has a core focus on the heat-sensitive, color-changing ColorFusion shirts. A throwback to the Hypercolor fad from the early ‘90s, it blows the minds of a whole new 21st century generation with various styles of tees and polos that transform from orange to yellow, purple to pink, blue to white and green to yellow. ColorFusion changes colors when the temperature – not the sunlight – hits 20° Celsius (that’s 68° Fahrenheit for Quagmire’s friends in the USA ).  

 

*** We received the cutie purple shirt for review, this shirt when in the sun or touched with heat turns pink.  My daughter couldn’t wait to wear this shirt to school. It’s cold day today but since the sun is out the shirt is still changing, and my daughter thinks it’s hilarious.

 

When she came home forms school it was completely pink, and I took an ice pack and rubbed it on the shirt it turned Purple again. My daughter is having way to much fun playing with this shirt.

You can find these shirts at www.quagmirekids.com, Dicks sporting Goods, and The Bay at Queen Street in Toronto.

Retail:$25-$39
