Life after Twilight
Well...I first want to say that Matt did win his game and thankfully, I will be there today to watch him in his playoff games. I loved the Twilight Movie! It was so hard to put that amazing book into a movie so I knew going into it that it would not be what I had pictured in my mind since I had seen the movie posters and Edward & Bella were not what I had pictured. I am an 80's child and my Edward was more like Jake Ryan...tall..dark...& handsome. However, Edward didn't totally let me down either. By the end I did feel the love between Bella and Edward and can't wait to see what they come up with next. Most importantly, I was able to share the experience with my sisters, my niece and some friends. Overall it was a wonderful time!

A bunch of Random Nonsense
Well it has been a long time since I have written anything so I thought I would just check in.
I am so excited...this Wednesday I am going to see the movie Twilight. I have been waiting for almost a year to see this and Morgan's, my niece, high school (she will actually go there next year and Ben is there right now, but it sounds funny telling the story since Ben isn't going...) is having a fundraiser for their prom night festivities...they are showing an advanced showing of the movie. It is not scheduled to come out until Friday. Since it is a fundraiser the tickets are a bit more, but so worth it...now I don't have to go to a midnight showing of it!
Anyways, when I found out about the tickets, I have so many friends that I know that are in love with the book too that I sent out this mass e-mail to everyone and we ended up getting about 19 tickets. YEA! I can't wait! The only downer is...get your kleenex...Matt's flag football 1st playoff game (and a single elimination tourney) is this Wednesday at 6:00. Chances are they are going to win so I will be able to watch him play on Saturday, but when I told him he started to cry! Then he just bawled "I want my Mommy to come to my game" parts of me laughed at the pure obsurdity of his moment, and other parts is afraid I will put him in therapy for the rest of his life (just kidding...I really don't think that). Am I a terrible Mom for not even thinking twice about missing a movie that I can't wait to see and missing his game?

My Halloween Week
My week started with me making pumpkin bars. You will notice that we all enjoyed them and Luke hadn't gotten any so when I was up stairs putting the laundry away, Luke climbed up on the stool and started digging into the pumpkin bars. He liked them!
Monday, TJ gave me a wonderful gift! He had a "little" procedure done and I am super grateful that he did. Thanks, TJ! I'm glad you finally took one for the team. Anyways, on Tuesday when he was at home recouping, we (everyone in our office) sent TJ some flowers of well wishes since he was starting to get in touch with his feminine side. He then sent back an e-mail to thank us stating how hormonal he was and how he thought the flowers were the most beautiful arrangement he had ever seen and that he was weeping with joy knowing we cared for him so much! Then asked if we could watch Thelma & Louise over the weekend. It's been fun teasing him!
Here is a picture that TJ took while he was recouping of all the things that help him heal.
This was dinner one night-it was a busy week so I made the boys little frozen dinners. Lukes had corn and chocolate pudding in his and needless to say, Luke enjoyed making a mess rather than eating.
Thursday night we had a pack meeting for boy scouts. It was a costume party so we took the boys. Matthew LOVES Pokemon so he wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer and Luke was a fireman.
Luke LOVES his little blanket-we call it Blue. just puckers his lips and touches the tag to his mouth. Super cute. We usually try to keep blue in his bed, but he sometimes goes and gets into his bed and get blue out.
Friday night before it got dark we went to Mom's house to Trick or Treat so she could see the boys. Luke was cranky and tackeled Matt for some reason and just laid on him.
After we left Moms we went over to some neighborhood friends of ours and had dinner and went Trick or treating. Luke made it to 3 houses I think before he passed out. After trick or treating we went back to our friends house and partied a little bit. They live in a culdesac and they blocked off the street so little traffic was coming around.
