We're visiting The Haunted Mansion again

This guest post from Alice Wall

When I told the kids to think about which movies we were going to watch this Halloween season they spoke in unison "The Haunted Mansion." When I asked them why they liked watching that movie so much they said because Eddie Murphy acts so crazy and all kinds of really cool, spooky things happen in that movie. Kevin also added that he thinks Eddie Murphy is a really good dad in that movie. I think he is too. Even though at the beginning of the movie we found out real quick that he is a workaholic and it seems like he might put his work ahead of his family, that situation turns around by the end of the movie. I love the part where he teaches his son to stand up to his fear of spiders. It kind of put my heart in my throat the first time I watched it and realized that all of the people in the mansion are really ghosts. Murphy plays a real estate agent named Jim Evers and he really has to put up a good fight at the end to save his wife. We misplaced our dvd so we're going to watch it on Direct TV this year. I can't wait to hear the kids howling with laughter at the end when the busts are strapped to the top of the car singing "When the Saints Go Marching In."

A Day At The Park

Thanks for the article from Quinton Wynn

When the sun is shining and my favorite baseball team takes the field, there's nothing more spectacular in my life. It's like nothing has ever happened before or will ever happen again, so there's nothing left to do but enjoy the roar of the crowd and the crack of the bat. That's the kind of overwhelming feeling I get when my team takes the field and begins passing the ball around to practice. It's like watching someone prepare for war, only the war is going to dazzle instead of sadden. A live game is one of the greatest pleasures in life, though my recent addition has made the live game about the same as another simple pleasure:

I also love to watch games on satellite television from www.tvbydirect.com/directv-deal/VIRGINIA-VA-direct-tv.html. A professional baseball game captured in my living room is just as awesome as it is in person. I kick back on the couch, have some nachos and a few drinks, and take in all the action just like I would if it were live. If it's a beautiful day outside, the tv captures that beauty perfectly and I never feel as if I've missed out on anything. It saves an unbelievable amount of money too. Hot dogs are reasonably cheap at home, not at the park.

I would recommend an afternoon of baseball indoors. It's just as exciting.
