New Moon

So I was one of the crazy's who bought a ticket to the New Moon movie back in September and went over at 7pm on Thursday night. Met up with a few other friends. Our Harkin's was awesome to do the marathon and show Twilight before. So we only had to wait until 9:30 to start watching a show. Then at midnight it began. I wish I had a camera to take a picture of my friend Debbie's face when it started. She was like a kid on Christmas morning. The movie was well done, but there was so much to cover in that book it was hard to get it all in. I have to say the ending 'leaves you hanging', since it doesn't completely finish the book. I'm sure they will pick up where they left off for the new one coming out in June.

Lots of fun. I really needed some time out with friends so it was great fun.

Holiday TV programming guide

Just thought I would post the 2009 holiday programming guide that I compiled from online. I hate to miss the classic shows and want my girls to have the same memories. And since I so need to go back to bed since i went to bed SO late trying to send a shop file (1am) and I will be up even later because of New Moon tonight I am going to be lazy and just give you the link to my deal blog to get the list there.

So come on over to ShopperSavingSecrets and print off the list so you don't miss your classics.

Edited: I think I fixed the link. I was a little tired when I posted it. Should work now.

New Moon & Twilight double feature

If you are a nut like me that is going to the midnight showing of New Moon. Might as well get there early and see Twilight too at 9:30. If you already bought a ticket, they will refund it to you and the double ticket it $15. This is at Harkins. Go HERE to see the listings of Harkins theaters that are participating. Personally I prefer Harkins over AMC. It is local and I like to support the local guys and frankly I think it is just clean and the people are friendlier.

Hope to see you there next Thursday.

Deleting Blog

Anyone know how to delete a blog?

Ever have days like this?

This clip just cracks me up every time I see it on tv. I so feel like this many days.

A Mid Octobers Nights Dream

Savannah had so much fun last night at a friends party and so did I. The little girl who hosted the party has a summer birthday. And since she was hanging with family a lot during the summer, they did a kind of 'un-birthday' party. This was her dream party. It was so cute. We even sang Happy Dreams to you, instead of Happy Birthday. The girls all had on their masquerade gown and of course their masks. They decorated pumpkins, and played games. I got to help with the make-up and glitter. Angee you did an awesome party and I know Savannah is trying to plan hers already now. She told me that Charlotte can have a winter fairies party. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. The decor was awesome but the company was even better. Thanks for a magical night ...

This was the outside entrance coming into the house. It looked better with the dark of the night but hard to photograph.

At home before the party...

The younger ones waiting their turn for pumpkins

Playing games and dancing outside under the Stars..

Explaining about the 'Happy Dreams' song and here comes the cake..

Both Savannah and Emily were sleeping beauty. ~ Here is a group picture.

Trunk or Treat 2009

On Tuesday was the ward Trunk or Treat. All I can say is that it was a crazy night. Because our fearless Activities Leaders decided to skip town and move to FL, ;) The few stranglers on the committee tried to wrangle it together. From running around trying to get the chili out, costume contest and things generally flowing well, I ended up having two little girls bawling half the time, a husband who was constantly in the kitchen helping out since there was no direction to have anyone helping and I wanted to puke my guts out (I was getting over food poisoning from the night before). From the feedback I got, people had fun and there were a lot of investigator families there which is good. I just hope they didn't notice how onery I was, because I just felt crappy. So here are a few pics of Hannah Montana, Alice and I was the Bride of Frankenstein (again the sickness made my hair not as up straight as it should have been but I was trying to hurry).

Crazy Charlie

I just uploaded pictures and have found a few of Charlotte being Charlotte. She is such a crazy little kid. She is so curious and into everything. Maybe she is just being a normal child and Savannah was just an angel at this age. HUGE difference. Charlotte loves to count with you and loves to accessorize (as you can tell in these pictures). She is always trying to help and when she wants you, she will grab your arm to pull you off your chair or push you off but being polite about it saying 'Scuse me'. She makes me laugh every day and we love her to pieces.

Fall it has arrived!

Aahhh... the fresh cool air of fall. Yesterday is was a high of 65 with a wind chill factor of 58. And I was freezing!! Boy am I a whimp. We had on long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts. It may have something to do with the fact that a week ago it was 100degrees and only 3 days ago it was 85. Oh how our blood has thinned since living in AZ. I had to chuckle though as I was doing laundry this morning, I was washing sweatshirts, long pants, shorts and tank tops all in the same load.

I have to say though I am not too big of a whimp to turn on the heater or fireplace. We have survived so far. But as I am writing this I am wearing thermal and wrapped in a blanket. I am thankful it will be a little bit warmer come Saturday, so the girls don't have to wear winter coats (not that we really own any) over their costumes.
