As I was getting supper ready, Matthew grabbed his binoculars and peered through the bay window out the front of our house. It appears (Magnified!) that the family across the street purchased a shiny new quad (ATV). Honey was battling with Quad Envy until I reminded him that we have two (TWO!) four-wheeled contraptions. Four, if you count the two quads that the kids have.
No need to be greedy now.
The kids were all over the spying and the binoculars and took up where Daddy left off.
(This is my 30 Tiny Moments photo. Do you guys want to see them here, or should I just post them on Flickr?)
Are you glad you do not live in the house across the road from us? If you do move in, make sure you are fully clothed at all times.

When Uncle Lance got home we all sat down for supper. His t-shirt read “PUMA” and it is Graham’s favourite. Thanks to Dora’s cousin Diego Graham actually knows what a puma is. He asked Uncle Lance why his shirt said “PUMA”.
“Because it was made by the pumas.”
“Really? The pumas made your shirt?”
“Yes they did.”
“How did they make your shirt?”
“They used their claws, and they knit it in their shirt factory.”
Graham thought that was awesome. I did not set the story straight. Graham lives in imaginary land about ninety-five percent of the time.
Who am I to burst his bubble?
***
After supper we had our nightly dance-fest while cleaning up the chaos. Emily’s artist of choice is the amazing Justin Timberlake. She and I were shaking our tail feathers when Honey brought up the fact that he would love to see JT in concert. We had watched a concert of his on TV last weekend and it looked pretty high-energy and entertaining.
I confessed that I might have a tiny crush on Mr. Timberlake.
(Celebrity crushes are harmless. They are of the It-Would-Never-Be-A-Reality genre.)
Honey got the kids into their swim suits in preparation for a family trip to the hot tub while I finished cleaning up dinner (I got the better end of the deal for sure). I pondered our conversation and was reminded of that Friend episode where they discuss who would be on their “freebie” list.
When we got into the hot tub I talked to Honey about this and told him I felt a blog post coming on. I asked him who his top three celebrity crushes were. His answers:
- After yesterday’s Superbowl? Alicia Keys
- Angelina Jolie
- Jessica “question mark”. It is a toss-up between Jessica Biel, Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba
My turn.
- Justin Timberlake. Duh.
- George Clooney
- I am taking the wild card approach, thanks to Honey. Matthew McConaughey and Matthew Fox.
I have not met a Matthew I did not like. Have you seen my husband?
Who are your top celebrity crushes?

I have such a celebrity crush on the guy that played Denny from “Grey’s Anatomy”
SWOON.
We won’t talk about the time that I went vegan for a month out of my undying love for River Phoenix.
Ehem.
Loralee’s last blog post..Sideblog:Can this election be over soon? PLEASE?
Comment by Loralee on February 4th, 2008 @ 10:57 pmNicely done with the angelina bit Matthew…nicely done. 
ok, it’s too hard, i’ve been thinking for like the last 20 minutes. I need more time. haha, I’m like ross!!!! it took him forever!
daybe’s last blog post..Time for a little detail.
Comment by daybe on February 4th, 2008 @ 11:25 pmI definintely love seeing your photos, so I’m all for you posting them here.
Oooh - I love this! My top three celeb crushes would definitely have to be Brad Pitt, Larry Mullen Jr. (drummer for U2), and Johnny Depp.
Be still my beating heart! *swoon* Those men are guaranteed to make me swoon. Gorgeous!
By the way, you seriously need to see Justin Timberlake in concert if he ever comes out this way again. That man is so incredibly talented, it’s amazing! I saw him when he came to Vancouver in September, and holy crapola that was an awesome concert. Yes, the screaming teenaged girls almost deafened me with their shrieks, but it was a blast!
Sharon’s last blog post..Reflections on a Monday afternoon
Comment by Sharon on February 4th, 2008 @ 11:26 pm1. Eric Bana
2. Hugh Jackman
3. Tyson Beckford
4. Jake Gyllenhaal
5. Sidney Crosby
BOOYAH! I love all this talk about celebrity crushes!!
@Loralee: Jeffrey Dean Morgan is his name.
Ok I wrote the above then drew a blank because it seems I have no celebrity crushes(!!!) Or at least not one that I can think of off the top of my head. If I think of something though, you’ll be the first to know.
Heather B.’s last blog post..Filler, redux
Comment by Heather B. on February 5th, 2008 @ 3:36 amKeep the 30 tiny moments here, pplease!
George Clooney, yes, and another geezer, Sam Elliott.That’s all.
witchypoo’s last blog post..Knudsen Award for 2008 and a shop
Comment by witchypoo on February 5th, 2008 @ 6:17 amYes please to tiny moments being here too!
Hmm…celebrity crushes…well the biggest used to be Tom Cruise, and then he went crazy. I adore Brad Pitt, and like that he’s using his fame & money to try to do some good in the world. Also, now that he lives ‘just down the road’ from me, it could totally happen. Right? Riiiight. 
If we can extend from ‘celebrities’ to ‘characters they play’ then I’m all about Ron Weasley. So cute. =)
ashpags’s last blog post..Itching for a change?
Comment by ashpags on February 5th, 2008 @ 6:43 amI’ve loved John Cusack since Better Off Dead.
Nathan Fillion is fantastic as Mal Reynolds in “Firefly” and Serenity, and from all reports he’s truly a nice guy off-screen. (And he’s Canadian!)
Bruce Willis will forever be David Addison to me.
bethany actually’s last blog post..Saying good-bye
Comment by bethany actually on February 5th, 2008 @ 7:35 amHmmm….
#1 -I’m with you on Justin Timberlake
#2- Shemar Moore
#3- Chace Crawford
I’m not stopping at three.
#4- Johnny Knoxsville. What? He’s hot.
#5- Patrick Dempsey
I used to have a thing for Eminem but I think I’m getting over that. I also have a strange attraction to Vince Vaughn.
Comment by Jen on February 5th, 2008 @ 7:47 amI forgot Jake Gyllenhal. Add him too.
I also know that Jordan’s pick would be Kate Beckinsale.
MMMmm Celebrity crushes.
1. Michael Buble!!
2. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, possibly the most goodlooking guy EVER.
3. Justin Timberlake
4. Brad Pitt
5. John Travolta (Remember Grease?! :P)
Matthew, what about Jessica Alba??
Alexandria’s last blog post..Bittersweet - A Toast
Comment by Alexandria on February 5th, 2008 @ 7:56 amI think I will have to do a top five:
1. Brad Pitt…I know, I know…so cliche…but I have always thought he was hot!
2. John Cusack…he could be my dad…but for some reason he appeals to me.
3. Ryan Gosling…ever since The Notebook I’ve been in love…
4. Leonardo DiCaprio
5. David Beckham….those tattoos….that hair…those abs…
Shelly’s last blog post..Things That Make Me Laugh….and Will Make You Laugh Too
Comment by Shelly on February 5th, 2008 @ 8:00 amHmmm. . . I have always loved George Clooney even before his ER days (when he was on the comedy show with the same title). I also really thought there was something about Harrison Ford when he originally played Indiana Jones. In addition to this there are some hockey players that I have had crushes on through the years. At one time we actually had some of the NJ Devil farm team living across the street. Let’s just say I loved sitting on the porch reading to see the views of the team there on non-game days! Nothing like hockey players washing cars with no shirts on!
TheAngelForever’s last blog post..An Election of Many Firsts
Comment by TheAngelForever on February 5th, 2008 @ 8:41 amDo we have to stay with living, breathing, YOUNG celebs? or can us old “geezers” go for the absolutely spectacular OLD celebs? PLEASE?!? Or, maybe some not-so-old..but definitely not babies!
1. George Clooney
2. Vin Diesel…drool…
3. Sean Connery
4. Richard Gere
5. Denzel Washington
Laura’s last blog post..What does community look like, to you?
Comment by Laura on February 5th, 2008 @ 8:45 amI guess I too am drawn to the “geezers” (hm, wonder why?) Harrison Ford, Richard Gere, and top of the list: George Clooney (Oh my!)
Comment by Heidi F on February 5th, 2008 @ 8:50 amMy laminated list consists of:
David Usher
Ian Thornley
John Mayer
what can I say - I’m a sucker for musicians
Hills’s last blog post..Ice Ice Baby
Comment by Hills on February 5th, 2008 @ 8:51 amHmmm…. I think I would have to go with:
1. Matthew McConaughey - It all started with ‘A Time To Kill’. The man is dreamy in that.
2. Colin Farrell - He probably smells like beer and cigarettes, but I still find him incredibly attractive.
3. Christian Bale - He’s drool-worthy is so many different roles.
I think my husband would have that Jessica wild card too, he would include Jessica Alba in there too. I think he would also pick Salma Hayek, and I may have to include her as a celebrity crush myself because she is beautiful.
Jill - GlossyVeneer’s last blog post..A Case of the Mondays
Milo Ventimiglia
Casey Affleck
This actor on General Hospital (I know, I know)

Comment by ali on February 5th, 2008 @ 9:02 am1. Richard Gere - I totally fell in love with this man after seeing him in An Officer & A Gentleman. After all what’s not to love about a man in uniform??!
2. Matthew McConaughey - Just beautiful
3. This would be a tossup between Eric Lasalle and Blair Underwood.
Linda’s last blog post..He was a good man and he will be missed
Comment by Linda on February 5th, 2008 @ 9:02 amMatthew McConaughey..mmmmm…..*wipes drool from face*

Heidi’s last blog post..Snow Day
Comment by Heidi on February 5th, 2008 @ 10:44 amWhen I read your first sentence, I was like “what were you getting SUPER ready for” … oh … supper … idiot.
Hehe about the pumas! Kaylie also lives in imaginary land most of the time. It’s great fun. I’m waiting for her to figure out that it’s not actually the tooth fairy that’s late all the time, it’s ME!
GEORGE CLOONEY BABY!!! I had a friend once who looked exactly like a young George Clooney. We hung out often … because George Clooney? Is hot.
Mrs. Wilson’s last blog post..Dabbling in a New World

And I have always had a thing for Nicholas Cage (especially from his long-hair “Con Air” days).
Hannah’s last blog post..I’m back!
Comment by Hannah on February 5th, 2008 @ 11:12 amOh, and I forgot about Rob Thomas! I’m SOOOO amped about seeing Matchbox Twenty in concert on April 17th!! Woohoo!
Hannah’s last blog post..I’m back!
Comment by Hannah on February 5th, 2008 @ 11:13 amOOOH, I love that episode of Friends!
1. Matthew McConaughey–yummy
2. Ryan Reynolds — have you seen his abs?
3. Jeffrey Dean Morgan…Denny from Grey’s, but also the hot Irish guy from the movie P.S. I LOVE YOU.
4. (this is going to be a combined effort for #4)…Patrick Dempsey, Justin Chambers, and the bomb guy from Grey’s Anatomy…those boys on Grey’s are easy on the eyes.
I just had this same conversation with D. It came about because we were watching Ocean’s (insert last movie number here). I had a great debate with myself over who was hotter…Brad, or George. ummm…I gotta go George but Brad’s a close second. Then there’s Richard Gere. Why do they get better looking with age? I guess I’m all over the ‘old guys’ too.
Vicki’s last blog post..Bookies
Comment by Vicki on February 5th, 2008 @ 11:59 am1. Matt Damon. I’ve been in love since Good Will Hunting
2. George Clooney
3. Lenny Kravitz–he just popped into my mind so I went with it.
Mandee’s last blog post..Super Bowl of yore
Comment by Mandee on February 5th, 2008 @ 12:44 pmok - here’s my top 2…and I can’t believe I don’t see them in any of your other comments yet! (What does that say about my taste??!)
These are the 2 guys who I’ve told my husband “If they ever walk up to me on a street somewhere and ask me on a date, I’ll say yes”
Wentworth Miller (despite the rumours that he “plays for the other team”…I refuse to believe it)
John Krasinski (although I think I more just have a crush on Jim Halpert…)
I just love love your window! I need one!
Kristie’s last blog post..SERIOUSLY, what IS it with people?
Comment by Kristie on February 5th, 2008 @ 1:52 pmThat picture is too funny, Grahams hands up on the window, ha ha ha!!!
Taking out the binoculars to see what the neighbors are up to reminds me of my parents house, hey but when you live with that much space between you you need them to see what they are up to!
Kristin’s last blog post..37 Weeks!

I would love to see the 30 tiny moments thing. Should I join flicker already? And can I be added as one of your friends?
What’s the big count down till you are soaking in the sun? I am living through your sunshine fun! I want summer already!!!

Wonder where I can get my hands on a laminator…
The Over-Thinker’s last blog post..Footwear Fridays III
Comment by The Over-Thinker on February 5th, 2008 @ 6:26 pmI am cracking up at Jill - GlossyVeneer’s description of Colin Farrell!
bethany actually’s last blog post..Moms are boring
I have more than three, actually, and the husband is more than aware, and actually likes to fake pout every time one of their faces comes up anywhere. He’s hilarious.
1. Kevin Bacon
2. David Duchovny
3. John Cusack
4. David Boreanaz
5. Paul Walker (AH, I can’t help! it. Seriously.)
I also totally have girl celebrity crushes, too; women who I think are totally rad and amazing, and whose movies I will nearly always be first in line to see. But we can save that for another conversation. ; )
Also: There was a Matthew in my elementary school that ran around picking his nose and trying to wipe it on girl’s in P.E. (Come to think of it he went by “Matt,” and not “Matthew.” Heh.)
Also: I covet your hot tub.
kerrianne’s last blog post..Because January Is For Lists
Comment by kerrianne on February 5th, 2008 @ 6:57 pmThis is so strange … I blogged about my “list” today too! Here you go: http://redlotusmama.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-list.html
Comment by RLM on February 5th, 2008 @ 10:43 pmOh … I totally forgot about Milo Ventimiglia! I love him too. Looks like I will have to have an alternates list like Hubs!
Comment by RLM on February 5th, 2008 @ 10:47 pm[...] wrote today about her and her husband’s lists. You know, the lists. The ones you’ve seen on Friends. The ones that mean that if you were [...]
Comment by The Kids Aren’t Alright on February 5th, 2008 @ 11:43 pmI would say
Brad Pitt (though I admit he IS starting to age)
Josh Duhamel (HOT)
Topher Grace (seeing a “win a date with Tad Hamilton theme here? Cute movie)
My bf’s would be Evangeline Lily from Lost (yes, I agree, she’s hot) and Pam from the office. I don’t know a 3rd.
Tricia’s last blog post..Trying to study
Comment by Tricia on February 6th, 2008 @ 12:18 amLOVE the “Peeping Toms”! What else are neighbours for anyways?!?! I like having your 30 Tiny Moments here, cause I forget to check Flickr.
Now, for a few of my top picks…
1) John Stamos
2) George Stults
3) Chris Daughtry
My honey and I talked about this too and we have the “if this celebrity ever came onto us, it would be okay to have an affair” celebrity.
Because, like you said, it would NEVER happen.
Mine is Matthew Maccoughney. He’s just so hot.
I love your pic of the kids…I’ll have to remember that if I move to Canada ever, not to live across from you. I have an issue with remembering the clothes thing sometimes when I’m alone.
Lisa’s last blog post..Being a mom.
1. Joey Lawrence…yes, he’s so cute!!
2. Mario Lopez…I’m a dork! He can’t act…but he sure it cute!
3. Matthew Fox…loved him since he was in Party of Five!
Phew…gotta cool off now! Can you imagine them all in the same room? : )

Comment by K on February 7th, 2008 @ 4:35 amI love that Friends post, Jay and I talk about it all the time.
Jon Bon Jovi is on my list for sure, then Dean Cain and lastly Doctor McDreamy… but only after I saw Enchanted, I don’t do Grey’s. I know, I am probably the only one who just doesn’t get it.
Kami’s last blog post..Don’t hate me!

Comment by Dutch Blitz » My Top Five on January 5th, 2009 @ 12:06 am
Well, Sean Connery was forever my celebrity crush; that is until I saw him interviewed and he had on a black silk shirt, unbuttoned to the navel (nearly) and chains. Then? Not so much.
Russel Crowe - I know he’s a jerk, but oh my he looks good.
Dennis Quaid - Seriously? The eyes and that smile? Melt-worthy.
