Day Eighty Three

Some Blooms From The Past


I didn't take any pictures today. I'll share one from this date back in 2007. Must have been an early Spring back then. The Redbuds and Dogwoods haven't even begun to bloom yet as of today. It's been a rough Winter. Looking forward to some more Spring color!

Day Eighty Two

Just A Swingin'


Turned off the TV kiddie shows and turned Elijah and Shelby loose outside this gorgeous afternoon.

Day Eighty One

Spring--Day Three


We all could do without this again, but here it is--Spring snow. For a while there after lunch today, it looked like a blizzard.

Ah, the mood swings of Spring!

Eddie says, "Not again!" He came up under the back porch to watch the snow.

Squirrel says, "Who cares about snow? I've got food!" The snow did eventually stop and the clouds parted to show us some patchy blue sky. Spring is like that around here--kinda moody. Looking forward to some warmth tomorrow.

Day Eighty

Yesterday




Spring arrived yesterday with blue sky and sunshine and 70 degree temperatures, and then it mysteriously disappeared today under wet gray skies and temperatures in the 50's. Pretty typical Spring weather in my neck of the woods. Since the weather has temporarily reverted to Winter today, I thought I'd share some color with you from the first day of Spring. Enjoy!

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!
