Weekend in Review

What a crazy weekend. Here's some pictures of it all. And we also jammed packed in the Twilight movie, 3 shopping trips, and wedding. Oh yes it was busy!

Fun times in the snow!



Hmmm...yum, snow tastes good!



Laughing when she fell over.



Flower blooming and there's snow.



Leftover material from her curtains, an apron for a christmas present. I actually did the majority of it, and the hubs finished it.



The hubs sewed the pillows in the middle (cream colored ones) and I did the closing stitches.



Added red glittery spikes and berries.



The far right color is the color we picked up to start our room this weekend!



The little one's finished room. The pretty pink painted stairs.



The curtains the hubs sewed and I spray painted the metal words above the windows.



Other side of the room.



Close up of the material for the curtains.


Pretty new lighting.

Twilight Aftermath

**Warning!!!** - This is my opinion on the Twilight movie, if you don't want to know about it etc, then please stop reading now.

So, last night we arrived at the theater, redeemed our online tickets, got the popcorn and soda and headed into the packed theater. I was nervous about seating, but we snagged the last 3 seats in the upper section thank goodness. For all of you Harry Potter fans they show a trailer for the new one, it looks good, and says it's coming out in July. Ok, so for my take on the movie, overall I thought it was good. I loved some parts, others were really cheesy in my opionion, some disappoint with how they showed some things and left certain things out that I would have loved to see. Loved Edward, he was played very well by Rob P. Some of the other characters grew on me, not what I pictured at all for some of the characters so it was interesting to see their take. Was disappointed with the lack of roles Emmett and Jasper seemed to have in the movie. Anyone else feel like that? What are your thoughts?

I must go get the little one and myself dressed to run some errands. Have a wedding to go to this afternoon/evening so I'm hoping tonight or tomorrow can play catch up on here. I know I have lots of comment love to return everyone! :o)

Nothing Better

than walking down the stairs with the little one this morning and looking out the door to see it snowing! And it's laying. I had no clue we were even supposed to get snow. There's always something so special about that first snow fall. So, I grabbed my jacket and threw some shoes on to take a picture.

Looking at the back of the yard.



On the ornamental grass.

And officially 12 hours and 24 minutes until I will be sitting in the theater watching Twilight! What a great Friday! :o) Now to bundle us up and go out and play in the snow some before we have to go run errands.

Thursday Thirteen - Twilight

It's finally Thursday, which means one more nights sleep before the Twilight premiere. So, in honor of my obsession/love of Twilight, thirteen of my favorite quotes from the books.

1. And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.
2. Before you my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars-points of light and reason. And then you shot across the sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.
3. Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.
4. You are exactly my brand of heroin.
5. “Aren’t you hungry?” he asked, distracted. “No.” I didn’t feel like mentioning that my stomach was already full - of butterflies.
6. So you see, Hell's not so bad if you get to keep an angel with you.
7. About three things I was certain. First, Edward Cullen was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him, and I don't know how dominant that part might be, that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
8. The right thing isn’t always real obvious. Sometimes the right thing for one person is the wrong thing for someone else.
9. It’s an off day when I don’t get someone telling me how edible I smell.
10. I am switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures.
11. I don’t seem strong enough to stay away from you, so I suppose that you’ll get your way…whether it kills you or not.
12. But if you ever bring her back damaged again - and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merly trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head - if you return her to me in less that perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that mongrel?
13. Edward’s like a drug for you, Bella. I see that you can’t live without him. It’s too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun.

Happy Mail Day

Woo-hooo, who doesn't love taking the recyling out and finding a package at your doorstep! Makes the chore all that much sweeter.
