Girls Night Out

So the talk of the town is Twilight I suppose since looking over the blogs there are quite a few posts about it. I am on the last 200 pages of the 4th book and am not the type of fanatic who waits in line at midnight to get the book and then ignores my family for the next 2 days, but I have enjoyed them to the extent to actually finish all of the books. I'm just not a romance type of reader I guess. Anyway, on Friday we decided that Josh was definitely not going to see Twilight so him and Rhett saw the Bond movie while me and Britt and Summer saw Twilight. I didn't have any huge expectations and so I wasn't disappointed, but the effects were pretty bad and acting was just so-so. If I didn't read the book it would have been hard to enjoy the movie, but since I read it I will give it about 6 or 7 stars out of 10.

Brr....

It is so cold in my house right now! But I am happy to say that I bought really cute Christmas wrapping paper today for $1.70, and already have the ribbon from Costco (best place to buy big rolls of ribbon for cheap). So I am in the Christmas spirit of course only I'm a little sad because this year will be one of very few presents to give since we have no money at all from all this law-school stuff. But, needless to say, I am still excited and have a continuous Christmas-song station programmed on my radio. Woohoo.

Josh and I went to our first hockey game on Friday night. We had a great time and even got to witness a "gloves off" fight and everything. I was hoping for a stretcher and ambulance, but they didn't even bleed, just went to the penalty box. It was still exciting though.

The group. Thanks Heather for being cool and finding out about the tickets and getting them for us.

Update

Ok, so I don't have my first apron made yet...I know, you are asking yourself "she wants to actually start a business doing this and hasn't made one in the last month??" But really, so I bought the fabric, cut it out, then realized I didn't like the type of fabric I bought or the print, so I stopped. Then my time was taken over by preparing for the party and making our costumes. Weekend of Halloween I start to get sick, and still haven't recovered. I have a nasty cough and lots of boogers. SO...needless to say, don't give up on me quite yet, but we will see how it goes. On a more happy note, Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away :) Woohoo

P-A-R-T-A-Y

The Halloween party was great. We had everything from "mummy dogs" to homemade root beer and eyeball cupcakes. We played games and enjoyed everyones costumes. Thank you to everyone who came and participated in the coolest party of the year! (Except our Christmas party might top it) Here a some pics of the party and a few people who came

I sewed those myself. I am pretty impressed with my skills this time.

Rachel and Kyle = superheros

Heather and Daren = a bad haircut

Jenn and Andy = speed skater and athlete

I love the face they are both making. Rhett, Brittney, Summer = hook, peter pan, and tink. Costume = cat purse sewn into a captain hat, lingerie made the ruffles on the shirt, and an eddie bauer fleece hat cut and sewn to make peter's hat, hanger for the hook. All purchased for less than $3 each at Goodwill. I'm very impressed with the creativity with the goodwill store, sewing skills by Rhett, and how cheap it all was. A+ for the Barney's

And of course, the flour game.

This may be illegal, but I had to put at least one picture of my sweet children that I take care of. This is Carly in her monkey pj's for our "Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" Halloween party at school. Dianna and I were the doctors and they were monkeys. Cute huh. We even had a blow-up castle IN our room for the party, most of the kids loved it, some were scared of it!
