Halloween...check!

Well we survived Halloween in one piece. The kids really pulled in a ton of candy, and yes I am one of those moms that lets my kids eat candy in the mornings, before dinner, and before bed. Judge if you must, but I know you do it too. The costumes were absolutely spectacular!!! I worked so hard on the "Tin-Girl" costume and the "Cowardly Lion" costume. The other two I just bought and pieced together. Time was not on my side, so a lot was improvised. The kids loved them and that's what was important. We had a lot of compliments, so of course that pumped me up for next year. I have 2 ideas, 1) Harry Potter or 2) Scooby Doo. My kids are so good to let mommy be so crafty. I was not allowed to trick or treat when I was little, so I guess I am living vicariously through my kids. It is loads of fun!!The kids crashed last night and so did Nate and I. I knew they were pooped because no one asked for candy. This morning they made up for it, that's all they could ask for. So now it's over. One more Halloween for the books.

*I saw my new nieces on video chat today. They are so precious. I think that Hope really wanted me to hold her because she kept eye-balling me. Soon enough dear Hope and Grace, soon enough.


**We have a mouse outside...ewwww!!!

Just a few more weeks

I can hardly wait!!! Twilight the movie is coming to theaters November 21st, but I will be going with my sister and my friend at midnight the 20th. I will be making us "Team Edward" baseball tees just to give our total and full support. I am so acting like a geeky teenager, but I can't help it. I told my husband tonight that I have never anticipated a movie so much, like I am this one. So now here is my challenge, for those of you who have not read the series yet...GO GET IT!!! From someone who is not a reader, it will have you blowing off all your responsibilities just to see what happens next. If you are not readers, the book sizes are a bit scary. For me it was, but as I got involved, they were way too short. I am sad that I have finished the books, but I do still skim them every now and then. For those of you who have read the books, tell me your favorite book. Not parts because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. My favorite's in this order are 1) Breaking Dawn, 2) Twilight, 3) Eclipse 4) New Moon. I cried in all 4 and still cry when I re-read. Okay so now I'm a dork, but this dork is so glad that I was introduced to these books. Now, go read!!!
