Day Seventy Nine

'Twilight Saga: New Moon' DVD Release Partay
After Midnight, March 20, 2010


This is why we were all up so late Friday night/Saturday morning. Sarah's tattoo says it all. 'Twilight Saga: New Moon' was released at midnight. Daughters, grand daughter, grand son, and nieces headed to Wal-Mart to snag their copies and enjoy a piece of 'New Moon' cake that the store served up.

Are you Team Edward? (Yes!)

Or are you Team Jacob? (No. But he's so cute...)

Sarah managed to get one of these cool water bottles featuring our favorite vampire boyfriend.

Let the tattoo-ing begin! Included with the DVDs were pages of great looking temporary Twilight Saga tattoos.

Sarah also got the Forks High School mascot tattoo (see first picture for her other tattoo).

Julia, who I think tends toward Team Jacob (but I think her fave is really Emmett) got Jacob's wolf pack tattoo.

Not to be left out, Elijah got a tattoo, which I think is the lion in the Cullen crest (I'm guessing). Although he stayed up to join in the fun, he didn't want to see the movie. Too scary.

Shelby got the feather tattoo, one on each arm. She wasn't sure what it meant. I told her it was from Jacob's tribe.

Kelly got the Cullen crest tattoo, I think. (Somebody please chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.)

Neil popped up several batches of his tasty popcorn and we were all set to watch the movie. It ended sometime after three A.M. (Sarah fell asleep about halfway through) And we didn't get to bed until four A.M. But that was okay. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing it again after all these months of waiting for the DVD release. Up next: 'Eclipse'!! Can't wait until June 30!

Day Seventy Seven

What's That Bright Shiny Thing In The Sky?!


Oh yeah, I remember it now. We were all wondering when it would appear again. I took this with my cell phone camera this afternoon and aimed it directly at the sun. I always get cool reflections off the lens with the cell camera. Hope your day was sunny, too!

Day Seventy Six

No Pinching


Grand daughter Shelby made sure she wore something green to school today to ward off those dreaded St. Patrick's Day pinches. As it turns out, she was safe anyway. Her teacher ordered "No pinching!" today. Smart teacher. Happy St. Patrick's Day, be ye Irish or not!

Day Seventy Five

Elijah Man And The Mini Wheats





When I was three years old--long long ago in a galaxy far far away--I would never have dreamed of putting anything that remotely resembled shredded wheat into my mouth. And I've never known a kid who would even try them. Until Elijah. He loves Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats. He saw me eating them one morning for breakfast and wanted to try one. He ate it dry and loved it. Now he tells me, "I want some of that cereal like you eat." Sometimes he asks for them in the afternoon for a snack. Go figure. If only we could get him to eat something like broccoli.
