A Contest for All My Readers
Alright- a little week-end fun for you. I know some of you read my blog but never comment. It's time to come out of the closet and I've come up with a fun way for you to do this. We're going to have a little contest.
My family loves to quote movie lines. Cole and I and the kids are constantly cracking ourselves up by quoting all of our favorites. Below is a list of some of the ones that we use most frequently. Read the movie lines in the quiz below and try to guess which movie they came from. The person who makes the most correct guesses, wins!!! There's a prize?? Uh, well, of course there's a prize! I'll replace the Titus 2 Scripture verse at the top of my blog for an entire week with an announcement of YOUR NAME as the winner! The whole world, er, I mean, everyone who reads my blog will know how smart you are! Alright here it goes... (Be warned, several of these lines are from the same movies.) Oh, and for all of you Star Wars fans-- I don't use any of those quotes in my quiz even though my kids are constantly throwing them around. The problem with those quotes is that I can't seem to remember any of them except: "LUKE, I am your father." I think the fact that I have fallen asleep every single time I've tried to watch any of the Star Wars movies might be a part of my problem...
