Twilight good kiss!


It was a good kiss. WOW!!! It was very sensual in the book, but very sensual and sexual in the movie. We saw the 4:20pm show. The 7pm was sold out. Very passionate kiss. It should win MTV best kiss award. "Remember who you are." The best Mormon line of the movie. My favorite line was, "Isn't it enough just to have a long life with me?" Maybe it was the look he gave her or the way he said it, but it was a good line.

Twilight tonight and Grandparents Day


Yea, I am going to see Twilight tonight. Yea. I really did like the books. I did enjoy The Host just a bit more. If you have yet to read it you really should.
Cenneidigh has Grandparents day at school today and since her Grandparents are all far away she decided to invite Bonnie. AKA Evil Grandma. The whole thing starts at 11:30 am and goes to 1pm. They have lunch together and then the class has a program for the grandparentst to see and they even get name tags the kids worked hard to make. I hope it is a good experience for both Cenneidigh and Bonnie.

I guess I am going!


Amanda was kind enough to volunteer for the job of babysitter for three days so I can go on the field trip with Qatar. We will leave Monday the 8th at 8:30am, I will be able to get the other kids off to school that day. We will return at 2:40 pm on Wednesday so I will be home when they get back from school that day. I have my neighbor Sarah dropping off and picking up the kids those days and even someones else child I already volunteered to pick up. Sarah is such a great friend and help. Qatar's teacher tells me it will be a great experience and lots of fun, even Qatar is excited I am going. It will definitely be an experience, the jury is out on what kind of experience until we return. There will be rock climbing, tree rope courses and nightly programs on the environment. Food is cafeteria style, but you are to eat what you take and they weigh the food that is thrown away and try for a zero waste trip, that will be interesting with 7th graders. We need snow gear and long underwear. I will have to buy the long underwear, I have the boots, snow pants, jacket, gloves, hats and warm socks. I think I will buy Qatar and I more warm socks and long underwear. It will be an experience!!

Foot in mouth again! Why do I speak before I think?


I marked the being interested in chaperoning for a trip for Qatar coming up. I marked it thinking I would not have to worry about it because I have always been put on the back up list for chaperone's in the past. Well I did get on the list and then I freaked out and called to be sure I was on the "really going list". When I got the secretary I told her I needed to know if I was on the "going" list because I had just marked it as a "Joke"(why I said that I do not know I meant I marked it thinking I would not really have to go). Well I double checked the dates and realized that David is out of town those three days and so I will not be able to go and now I am sad. It really looks like fun and I wish I could go. ANYONE WANT TO BABYSIT FOR THREE DAYS? The kids will be in school from 8-2:40 everyday so it will not be that hard! Think about it, OK. Just get them off to school then be here to get them after school, then entertain and feed them, a breeze.

Sick kids


Gunnar has been fighting off a nasty cold all week and today he sounded very sick and Cenneidigh has a bad cough. I stayed home with then with a headache and knowing that if Gunnar and Cenny stayed alone someone would not survive the day. They argue worse then anyone else in the family.

I am sore from all the painting we did yesterday. Bending and reaching can do a number on your back muscles. We now need to cut and paint the trim and get the carpet in and we will almost be done. YEA!!! For a room that was to be done in July, November is not bad.(haha)
Here is a photo of Cenneidigh from last week in her pretty Christmas dress.

Gunnar as Mr. Musnick in Little Shop of Horrors.



Gunnar was in the high school play this week and he did a great job. The play was cute and fast pace. It was sad when everyone important died at the end, but the six chorus girls did a great job with the narration. Sabrina, from church played Audrey and did a great job also. JT loved the fact that the plant kept eating people. JT loved it so much that he yelled it out as the plant ate Gunnar. He said, "The plant is eating people and now Gunnar." We did point out that Gunnar climbed out of the plant and walked off stage when the lights went down. Good Job Cast!!

Qatar in Alice and Wonderland JR.


Qatar played Tweedle Dee in Alice in Wonderland JR this week. I got to make the costumes for both of the Tweedles so they would match. The play was really cute and we enjoyed it. We only got to see it once due to the fact that Gunnar's play was also the same nights. This was Qatars first play and he had lots of fun with all the kids. Charlie and Connett were both also in the play. Qatar will not be home much now either, he is now starting basketball.
