The Gladiators in Suits are back for Season 3 - Are you ready for more Scandal?

Starring Kerry Washington

A drama packed hit TV series on ABC where a group of lawyers team up and become gladiators in suits. They are fixers and will move mountains to fix the problems of their high profile clients. No cops needed. Olivia Pope calls the shots and makes everyone's life's better while trying to hold together her own life as well as the life's of her gladiators. Scandal has the plot of a lifetime and each episode draws you further in - where you can't take your eyes from the screen and the end has you begging for more! 

Photo Source - www.hollywoodreporter.com

Scandal has completed 2 Seasons which totals to 29 drama filled, jaw dropping episodes and Season 3 is said to drop on Thursday, October 3 at 10pm EST on ABC. (Just 3 days before my birthday! I can't wait) We've all fell in-love with the steamy love story between the "Best Fixer in Washington  and the "Leader of the Free World" and watched how they kept this monstrous secret under wraps, but what will happen when the whole world finds out who President Fitz's mistress really is? Did Olivia's father put a hit on her through his B613 guys?

Rumors are buzzing and we won't know what happened until the Series Premiere in October but from what I'm told, Pope and Associates will be working the case with guns loaded and are ready for their next client!

Are you excited for Scandal Season 3?

Family Night at Enka Middle School - Our Experience

I have to say that yesterday at Enka Middle School, was pretty fun!

Our daughters loved being able to play and paint and the food was pretty good as well.

I was very surprised at what all was going on at the middle school last night.

First off, my girls ran straight toward the face-painting. They became shy for about 2 minutes when they couldn't decided who was going first but it quickly left when Loran sat down and started getting her face painted like a cat. (she wanted a cheetah but we settled on a cat face). Jade got a butterfly painted on her cheek.

Next we moved on to the arts and crafts station. My daughters wanted to paint a "brick". The brick was actually a small block of wood that the girls was able to paint with any design. They sat so quietly and painted. Jade painted her whole block while Loran only painted one side of hers and took her time.

Since we was being offered free food.... How could we turn it down?

Free supper for my family is always a plus. My fiance LOVES to eat so he was drawn to the food right off bat but I was able to hold him off for a few minutes while the girls got painted and then done some painting themselves.

The food was pretty good. They had hamburgers and hot-dogs with water and Lemonade to drink. Alan even tried a Vegan Burger and enjoyed it more than we thought he was going to!

After the food, they raffled off a few things including School Clothing and a YMCA Family membership! We didn't win anything but I loved watching the little boy walk up to claim his YMCA Family membership! He was excited and had to of still been in Elementary school.

They also had Hula Hoops, Chalk and a Dress up Booth (We didn't see this booth until the end, I bet my girls would of LOVED to dress up silly). Loran and Jade had a blast playing with the hula hoops. Loran has been practicing with different amounts of hula hoops for a while now and she's almost mastered 3. She tried 4 last night and had them all going for a few minutes before they started falling! She's getting good!! Jade is still learning but she can spin a hula hoop on her left arm better than any other 5 year old that I've seen! (Jade is left-handed)

Enka Middle School is trying to bring family fun back into our town. They are wanting the Middle School to be a community place where the town can meet and mingle. A Community Garden has been started and a few upgrades has been made to the school. They have even been offering Cooking Classes and such to families through out the after school and weekend hours.
Also at the Enka Middle School Community Fair was lots of business with tables set up with information about what they can do for our family this summer. YMCA and Asheville Hockey are among the few that were there.

Getting ready for the raffle!

I was going to try and talk to the lady who is in-charge of all the work and entertainment at Enka Middle School last night but she was a very popular woman and I didn't get the chance to talk with her. I'm hoping that I will get the chance at the next Family Night gathering. (I try and let you all know about the next even in advance.) 

Painting their "Bricks"

Chalk!!! Look at all the Enka pride!

Loran hula-hooping with 3 hoops!!

All in all, we had a blast! It was nice to be able to spend some family time together and enjoy a nice night in my hometown. I went to Enka Middle School when I was a child and my little brothers go there now. I'm very happy knowing that the school and community are working to make Enka Middle School a better place and bringing people together. I'm hoping to be available for the next Family Night as well!!

Question of the day - April 22

- Question of the Day -

When it comes to a series.... Would you rather read the Books or watch the Movies?

I like both! The books are always good to read first. My advice is... Never watch the movies before you read the books in a series. The movies always leave out alot of details that make the story more personal. I understand that the movies would be hours long if it was word for word of the book but if you read the books first then you can fill in the missing parts. 

If you watch the movies first then there is a good chance that you won't read the books, or you won't finish them. Your brain will tell your that you already heard that story because it will be directing it's self to the movie..... Atleast that's my opinion

Do you like to watch the movies first or read the books first in a series?

Question of the Day - April 17

What's your favorite Board Game?

I Love Monopoly but I have to go with the childhood game of Candy Land when it comes to my favorite game! I love the concept of running around the sweet land of candy and ice cream while trying make it to the finish line before the other colored Gingerbread men do!

I guess I never really grew up :-)
