Larsen Movie Trivia

Well, in honor of this being the 100th post here in Larsenland (now Scottland)...we decided to create a little Larsen movie trivia for all of our lovely readers. Here's how it works: we'll list quotes from some of our favorite movies. Put your guesses (no cheating and looking things up!) in a comment and in a week from now, we'll add up the number of correct answers to determine the winner. Winner gets a totally rad larsen prize, like cookies or a pie or a big hug or something. :o) Have fun! Feel free to submit your favorite quotes and see if you can stump us....

in no particular order of preference or difficultly, here is it:

LARSENLAND MOVIE TRIVIA

1. "Steve, you're married? Congratulations" "no, but we will be soon" "Ah, condolences."

2. "May I take your trident, sir?"..."Can I go to the bathroom before I eat?....Thank you."

3. "Yeah, well people like blood sausage. People are morons."

4. "It's like the cardiac arrest: if I fake it, then I don't have it."

5. "You suicidal?" "Only in the morning."

6. "Who's gonna clean up this mess? "I'll tell you who's gonna clean up this mess. You're gonna clean up this mess because you are a garbage man."

7. "Would you tell Picasso to sell his guitars?"

8. "A what?! A writer! I write. You know, with ink and parchment....?"

9. "He really tanked. But he did it with flair."

11. "You let our love fern die!"

12. "Some people call me...Tim."

More prizes...

I just got an email telling me I won a $50 giftcard to WalMart! Yay! Now the big decision: should i be responsible and buy food and groceries, or be fun and use it for Christmas?

Eric says we should have me play the lottery....

Good luck to all of you!

Fun things...

My two favorite boys:Aren't they so cute?! Eric took Scotty to church on Sunday because I was sick and they happened to dress the same... (Scotty's also showing off his new shoes--check the bottom of this post) So, overall it was a really fun weekend for the Larsens. (we'll ignore the frustration of a certain Saturday event).

Friday for date night we used a 2 for 1 coupon for a BYU hockey game and brought Scotty--and he loved it! For all the drama we've had with football this season it was anyone's guess, but he did great. He found the stairs to be perfect sized Scotty chairs, so he sat on his own most of the game and stomped his feet, yelled, threw his arms in the air, danced to the music, flirted with the girls on the next bench.... He's starting to learn the "Rah-rah-rah-rah-rah" end of the cougar fight song which is hilarious. I'll have to catch it on video one of these days...

Saturday we went to this amazing cabin up Provo canyon to watch the game with our ward. This place was HUGE and gorgeous, with a home theater and lots of stairs to keep Scotty entertained.


He was pretty content to play with toys and get tons of attention, but occasionally he would wander off and we would have to go searching--his favorite place to hide was the walk-in shower in one of the MANY bathrooms... The game was frustrating, but hey, we couldn't have picked a better place to watch it!
For once I remembered to both bring my camera AND take pictures, so welcome friends!

This was an intense round of boxing as a halftime workout. The best part of this was Christine laughing at me everytime I swung the bat in baseball--but I won so I don't know why she found it so amusing ;o)Some of my favorite girls! I realized that I have like 2 pictures of my Provo friends...LAME.

In other exciting news, I've been entering giveaways the past few weeks. I got the idea from Deanna, who recommended a few sites. I have the buttons on the side bar of my Meg Magic blog if you're interested.

Anyway, I won these adorable baby shoes!

Who would have guessed that baby shoes would cost $40, but they were free so hey, Scotty is livin' it up in style now!

Blue and White Week

So, if any of you are around in Provo during the day and looking for something to do, head up to campus! From 12-1om every day this week BYUSA is sponsoring Blue and White week in honor of the football game on Saturday...

So far this week Scotty and I have gotten blue gushers, popcorn, blue cotton candy, blue powerade... Scotty got a little help from me and Cosmo to throw a football through the backdrop hole and win a shirt for me :o) He also got his picture taken with Cosmo and the cheerleaders. Talk about a lucky little boy!

Hope to see you all there. Scotty gets a lot of attention cuz he's so cute and little. And a total flirt...you should have seen him with the cheerleaders today!

What a weekend!

After a recruiting dinner (and an Italian Soda buffet!) on Thursday night, we headed out early Friday morning for Colorado. As Scotty only took one nap the entire week, I thought for sure he would crash in the car. WOW was I wrong...he slept for maybe 15 minutes, and only because uncle Stephen was petting his head! Still, we all managed pretty well for four adults crammed into a small car around a car seat. Scotty was determined to defend his space, and kept pushing aunt Bekah out of the way and yelling "no!" at her for encroachment.

Friday night we hung out with Eric's parents, watched 27 dresses, watched the latest episodes of The Office, and ate a ton of food. Saturday we slept in a bit and then headed out to Reed and April's. We left Scotty with his three cousins and drove out to the Air Force Academy for a great football game. We had fabulous seats, only met very polite fans (though I'm sure we drove them nuts with our yelling and chanting "Unga unga unga chunga"...it was our last football game as students!). You may notice that there are absolutely no pictures in this post! That's because I forgot to pack our camera. Lame, I know.

After the game (and napping in the car on the way home) we played games with family and ate some amazing food with Reed, April, and the boys then tried to get some sleep before our drive home on Sunday.

Driving in a car for 16 hours in one weekend tells you a lot about your kid. I for one, learned that Scotty thinks pig noises are hilarious. Even for hours. I also learned that hysterical giggles are always better than whining, and yelling is particularly loud in a confined space like the backseat of a car. I also learned that I am extremely grateful for McDonald's play places, and that fairly gross food is worth it if it keeps your kid entertained.
