Giggle the night away!

So Saturday night I had a freebie night...no kids no husband so I went to my bosom buddies house and we went and saw "Twilight"!!!! We went to the mall and had dinner in a little Italian Cafe and then went to the 8 O'clock movie. I really enjoyed the movie. I thought that there were only two key parts that should have been put in or embellished a bit but I loved it. I can't wait to see the sequel! Sequel you say?...they haven't announced it but come on! there is a reason why it is called the "Twilight" saga. We got the giggles and laughed so hard I thought we might have an accident or two. The next day I had to leave abruptly but it all worked out in the end. Needless to say I am addicted to this series...film or written and the author is terrific.

Pics that were promised

So here are a few of the pictures of our family on Halloween. Ally was a princess ( ironically enough her costume's princess name was Princess Alexa... she picked it out for the color then we found out what the name was.) Matt was a pee pod. So I had the princess and the pee! I didn't even realize that until they were both dressed...and no she did not try to sleep on him to test it out.













So now we move on to trick or treating. We went over to John's parents house and met up with the cousins to go trick-or-treating. Boy I did not realize that I had two new sister's. That night we had Russafina and Kenitra...Russ always said he liked red heads...guess he got his wish! Kenitra was stylin in her rave hair. You can't tell but he had eyelashes that matched and that were about as long as a pinkie finger!




Russafina and Kenitra didn't want their baby brother miss out on the fun so they stood for a family photo and John got smooched! Gee John you look like your enjoying this a bit too much...do I need to worry?





So While we were out trick-or-treating the Lafayette fire fighters were out giving out treats. We were able to get everyone in but Jacob...he was able to get one afterword. Thanks to them it was a great shot of all the kids in their costumes!















And last but not least...Tanja. I don't know who was having more fun...Russafina or "her"wife. Apparently Russafina was hit on and Tanja was loving every minute of it.











It was a good night.

Books..books..and books

So I know I said I would have to put some pics up, I will of Halloween. But right now I need to just "scream" about this new author. Oh my gosh! About two weeks before my birthday I had read the last book I had been able to get from my parents that I hadn't already read...feeling a little depressed I went to...a store...and headed to the book section. I didn't see a title that jumped out at me but the cover on one of the books did. The books name?...(moment of silence please...drum roll...) "Twilight". I picked it up and took it home I promptly finished it less than 30 hours later (I did have to be a functioning person at some point) and the next day I went back to get the second book. I then found out that the first book it being made into a major motion picture. (one that my "darling" friend Sarah and I are going to go see!!!!!) I then impatiently had to wait 5 days for the third book, the store was out and I wasn't wanting to wait. Then my loving husband gave me the fourth book (gosh he was smart to do so!) and the other book this author has out. I finished the "Host" last night(in three days flat). Needless to say I am now hooked on this author. I am not one who usually raves about a book but oh my does she know how to write.

Birthday and Halloween

Thursday was National Candy Corn day!!! oh...and my birthday. That morning my family gave me my birthday gifts, my husband made the BEST and BIGGEST pancakes, he even made one in a 29. I received a food processor, large one and a mini, the fourth book to the saga that I am reading and a new novel. I have already read the fourth book and plan on starting the other tonight. I had a few calls wishing me happy birthday from my close friends, and my parents had a little birthday party for me with my great Auntie and Uncle. I had a really great day. Halloween...well unbeknown to me my kids were a story book. Ally was a princess and Matt was a pea pod. So I had the Princess and the Pea! Pictures will be coming so don't fret!
