OMGOSH!

YES!

i am a total nerd. i just don't care. yesterday camille and i went to see *twilight*. i LOVED it. yup, i really enjoyed the movie. it was probably cheesy, the flying up in the trees and all...

but who cares? it was a beautiful match for those dang books that i was so addicted to reading.
after watching the movie, i wanted to go home and read the first book again. seriously. how could you not love edward & bella??? i mean, HOW? silly as it may seem, i felt so happy watching that movie. i'm glad camille and i could watch it together (along with all the other tweens, teens and college girls and moms in the theater :)).

i think i'm on the lookout for a twilight tshirt...just to show my love and wear around the house, what do you think? and i am SO getting the movie soundtrack. it was fabulous. it reminds me of my old nkotb obsession when i was a teenager. of course not as huge as back then...cause i'm an adult, and a mom and all...but anyways. i totally loved all 4 books, and the movie was great. i read somewhere that they would make a movie of *new moon* the second book--geez I hope so.

see?? total nerd here. a happy one.

ps. i am on team edward in case anyone wanted to know. (that means i like bella with the vampire edward, not the wolf jacob)...how could you not be on edward's team? who wouldn't fall in love with some immortal, teenage, beautiful vampire like edward--he even plays classical piano? hello? i mean, come on. yes, i vote for edward.

feeling fallish...

so--i made some cards yesterday (and finished today) while alex was at basketball tryouts with isabelle and camille. it's called try-outs but i think everyone makes the team, they just check out your skill level to put in a group that fits. yes--the girls are playing winter basket ball. i know, nothing i would have ever thought they'd do. really its just the only sport offered here until spring when Lacrosse starts. no biggie. boys can choose basket ball or wrestling. guess who starts wrestling on monday night? little logan-lover-baby. yes, i'm not ready for it. but he needs something and he sure needs something to toughen him up at least a notch or two. the boy has spent his whole life at my side...and it's not that it's a bad thing--shoot to be honest alex is the one who signed him up, without checking with logan or me. but what can you do when daddy grew up wrestling, and you've spent your first eight years glued to your mama's hip??? nothing.

i am praying that he'll at least like it...some. and if by some chance the sweetest boy ever takes to it--great. :)

so...back to my blog title.

i was feeling fallish yesterday...well its been days really. so I made some cards...i am going to send them to my very good friends. kinda like a thanksgiving card--but more something to let my girlies know how much i appreciate them and am grateful for their always being there for me. i'm even going to write notes inside and mail them out monday or tuesday. i have the stamps and envelopes all ready!!!

my next project is a birthday gift for my very bff* yolanda. her birthday is coming up in like a week...oh i better get off here and get to work. alex is off at b-ball again this afternoon. have i mentioned how great it is to have my husband home for some of these extra activities that he's missed for years?? oh, well, it's heavenly i tell ya. :)

peace on this sunday afternoon.

ps. check out L-DOG with the lil pumpkin--crazy boy!

the last month...in no particular order

playing with doggies

neighborhood fun

trip to DC

alex sick in hospital

carving pumpkins

house floods and ceiling falls into basement floor

Camille turns 12!!!

leaves changing colors

more buster and henry fun

lots of leaves to rake in the yard

a few of my paper creations for my SU! uplines contest

so...some of that about sums up the past few weeks.

i know there has been LOADS more...but just wanted to finally pop in here and at least do some sort of catch up.

it's funny how on some weeks are just so full of stuff--and can be overwhelming, and then other weeks--only daily routines, which blurr the days.

we are full swing into November. sheesh. can hardly believe that.

trying to settle myself and get some holiday projects done. kinda hard though, with the whole flooded house thing.....my creative space is temporarily on hold...i did move my table and a few things upstairs so i could work on things as time permits.

we had an emergency health scare with alex, but things are looking better now. camille turned 12--which is crazy that my first little baby girl, can be so old, but she is. she listens and dances around to music, is constantly on her cell phone, using the computer, asking for more and more big girl privileges. She is doing great in middle school too, i am so proud of her, for adjusting so well this year.

anyway. lots of big and little stuff going on around here; preventing me from blogging. (nothing new there).

i am looking forward to the Twilight movie coming out in a few weeks... i will totally be going to see that. LOVED those books, they sure suckered me in. Remember me blabbering about how I just loved those silly vampire books. yup--still do.

i've got some cleaning to do so...

enjoy your friday my friends.

xoxo

ps. dontcha just love alex and i in matching tshirts? those are his last troops tshirt. and he gave me one, and i said hey--that looks kinda scary i could wear that for halloween, so we were twins for the day. :)
