HE WAS AMAZED and has since been totally upset. We like scented candles around the house anyway, but he never noticed them until my birthday, and since has been completely obsessed. We went through about a week of sitting on the floor lighting and blowing out candles for a half hour at a time, lol. Then we'd only stop because my thumb hurt from relighting so much. The other night we had a power outage and lit a bunch of candles for light, and he got to blow them all out... and was then mad when there were no more and we wouldn't relight them. *Sigh*<BR/><BR/>It is good to know your boy is a restless have-to-be-moving little guy, too. You had me all jealous that he'd snuggle for long periods of time, lol, as that's something Raiden only does when he's sick!<BR/><BR/>Your boy hearing horse feet and knowing it was a horse reminded me of something mine did recently, too. The TV was on but he was in the next room. He heard an allergy med commercial come on, stopped in his tracks and yelled, "Dat!" Yes, there's a <I>cat</I> in that commercial. My in-laws have the TV on way too often *laugh*.Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481484074210475160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-37879163474574577162008-12-05T10:10:00.000-08:002008-12-05T10:10:00.000-08:00It does sound like a great night. :) How fun.Thank...It does sound like a great night. :) How fun.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the mention of that book.

Be reassured - there was about five minutes of snuggling while the licorice was still a novelty, and then there was an hour or so of dancing on the bed, running around the house, climbing on Mom, blowing raspberries, and being generally silly, with the occasional pointing out a horse in the movie (I was impressed, just the sound of horse feet was enough for him to whip his head around and point at the screen).<BR/><BR/>And the candles were up high. I tried to show him how to blow them out, but this is not a skill he's mastered yet (this was only the second or third time he's even seen a candle lit).Hippie Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718357472343295031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-48486187237839771422008-12-05T06:44:00.000-08:002008-12-05T06:44:00.000-08:00I'm jealous your kid sits still long enough to snu...I'm jealous your kid sits still long enough to snuggle and watch a movie *laugh*. If I had candles going he'd want to blow them all out, then relight them, and blow them all out again, and then run in circles for a while :).Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481484074210475160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-86681946321492731122008-12-04T18:37:00.000-08:002008-12-04T18:37:00.000-08:00I love nights like that!

They are not the best written books out there and the plots are predictable but it's the nostalgia factor that brings me back time and again. You just come to love the characters after a while and wish they were your family! <BR/>Francine Rivers is awesome so anything compared to her must be good! I'll have to give it a try. <BR/><BR/>JenniferHilty Sproutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330801276065458534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-10589133377600425012008-12-04T11:54:00.000-08:002008-12-04T11:54:00.000-08:00Glad ya'll had a good time! :) I like the first fe...Glad ya'll had a good time! :) I like the first few movies,but after about 3 or 4 it got I dunno.

Honestly I really only liked the first two or three, then I felt like there were no original characters and I was sad, but at least you had a great husband free night. I think it's great to enjoy those every once in awhile ;)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169767757479816137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-89832861279395812102008-12-04T02:59:00.000-08:002008-12-04T02:59:00.000-08:00the books are totally different, of course.
