Ahhhh, we had a babysitter. We went to Indiana Jones. OH...MY....WORD. HOW bad was that?
I'm just posting my warning. Unless you have tickets handed to you, just wait and burn a few bucks on the rental to discover how bad this one is.

There's the review that states it well.
But, really, without revealing the ending all I can say is its SOOOOOOOO bad.
So, there's my unsolicited review. And my final advise, don't go. Just skip it and watch Raiders again.

Book Review #2 and a GIVEAWAY!!!
Book: Fatal Deduction
Author: Gayle Roper
Summary: Libby Burton longs to be close to her twin sister, Tori, but their lives have taken them in different directions. Forced to share Aunt Stella’s old Philadelphia home in order to receive their inheritance, Libby hopes for a change, but it isn’t looking good so far.
First, Tori tries to steal the affection and allegiance of Libby’s thirteen-year-old daughter, Chloe. Then when a crossword puzzle with a hidden warning shows up on their doorstep, Tori refuses to take it seriously—in spite of the dead man who delivers it.
Libby finds comfort in neighbor Drew Canfield, but he hesitates to trust her after his disastrous marriage. As Libby struggles to act faithfully in the midst of these confusing relationships, she must also deal with a stolen diamond and a botched kidnapping. The answer to her problems lies in the riddles of the crosswords, if only she can solve the puzzle before it’s too late.
The above is a cut and paste of what the book is about...now for the review:
First, I liked this book and I'm not a big mystery person. It was enough suspense mixed in with a really good story to keep me interested. There's a little romance for us chickies and yet enough adventure that your hubby COULD pick this up and not throw up :) The main way for me to tell I liked a book: I ignored the kids until I was done reading it and I stayed up later than normal trying to finish! That's a good sign! The only problem I had was following the switch between narration and first person that Gayle Roper used. It was not as effective for me, but you may not have any trouble with the switches.
ANYHOW, you want to receive your free copy???? Send me a comment and I'll randomly choose from the comments :)

Home and Vocabulary
We made it home and while away we extended our vocabulary.
Let's just say, Granny and Poppa have Noggin on their TV and we were "vacationed"!
Sooo, Cam's new words: exhilarating and accumulate. More details to come.
Em's new word was NOT from TV, it was from Momma, "snarky" and it was used properly if you're wondering Mrs. Hanna. AHHH. Again, more details to come, but we laughed a lot!
Visited Frank, Amanda and Aleah and never did the sunshine agree more with a family! They just need that business to make a million! But it was so wonderful to see them and go to the beach and swim! Cam and Aleah had a wonderful time and Amanda got to clean up after Emmy, who is potty trained except at their home...lovely.
Wonderful trip...tired tired tired...but we did relax and have fun. The weather - perfect...the beaches we went to - perfect...hanging out with grandparents - perfect.
Now, when do we go back? WITH daddy?
