Twilight Fever
I have been bitten (no pun intended) by the Twilight fever that has been gripping one and all. Or at least it seems that way. I had never heard of the book until 2 weeks ago and my BFF said to me "You have got to get this book, it's awesome!" So on my last trip to Costco I headed on over to the book section and there it was.
How my hot little hands burned to get it home and start reading. It took a few days for me to actually get to start it, but Saturday was the day. I finished it yesterday. It was that captivating. Being sick helped, I had an excuse to laze on the couch and read amongst the coughing/sniffling/nose blowing.
I feel like Harry Potter mania has hit again. Except this story involves vampires, not wizards. I fought the urge to go online and "see" what the actors from the filmed looked like, I wanted to form an opinion in my mind first. I'm glad I did, they look like they should to me.
Morgyn has now taken over the book. Myself I need to get to the bookstore for the other books in the series, apparently I'm a few books behind.

Wow I've been a bad blogger, good reader but bad blogger. This month has gone so fast! I think I'll plug Jillian, she has survived her 1st full month of pre-school and has done so well. She had her very first field trip to the Prairie Garden pumpkin patch on the big yellow school bus, which she absolutely loved. The look of delight on her face as the bus pulled out of the parking lot was priceless.
There was a puppet show to enjoy, a lunch, a walk thru of the labyrinth, of course farm animals
and a little pumpkin to take home.
Of course with Halloween tomorrow Jillian also had her 1st Halloween party. It was a big hit, as we walked home she told me "that was the best party". Too cute. I found the her Snow White costume for dirt cheap, $4 plus $6 for the shoes.
Stuffing the headless Scaregirl.
Like my witches hand?
Mmmmmm cupcakes
With the big day tomorrow the girls are exctied, costumes are ready to go. Halloween assemblies are on scheduled and dances have been planned. Add soem trick-or-treating and all is good.
Today is a bittersweet day though, my dad passed 11 years ago. Oh how he loved Halloween. The pumpkin carving, the handing out candy. How he would have loved seeing his grandkids all dressed up.
Miss you Dad. xxxx

Wow It's Been Awhile
My bad! I have been away for awhile, I don't know why? Just haven't had much to say. I guess it must happen at some point?
We have a had a busy last few weeks with the start of school. I'm now the proud owner of a Gr 9 student, a Gr 2 student and a pre-schooler. Yep I'm choked about that one. Jillian just finished her 1st week of pre-school. It was a better day today, Monday not so much. We had alot of tears, I wish I could say they were just Jillian but ahhh not so much. Today she told me that she was a "big girl" and would do alright, and she did.
So we're settling into a nice fall back to school schedule. The weather has been beautiful the last week, cool at night but still hitting the 20's in the day. I love a nice cold night to snuggle under the blankets and up to a DH.
So you know what I've been hooked on these days. Party of Five has been reprieved on Much More Music, I'm such a geek as I loved that show and it seems still do. I'm getting Morgyn hooked LOL. So don't even get me started on the new 90210. I'm such a geek.
So with quick admission I'm signing off and leaving some pictures of the 1st day of school.

Wow 14!! Where did that come from!
Yup 14 years ago at this time I was holding my 1st born daughter, Miss Morgyn Kathlyn Lydia entered the world. Her bright brown eyes looking around in wonder, the long legs and arms. She was a spindly baby she looked as if she needed to be fed.
Now those arms and legs have filled out to a beautiful girl. Who has the nerve to be taller than me already LOL. Ask me how she likes them apples, LOL.
We have settled into the teen years well enough. Is that possible? Some days I think if I hear "whatever" anymore I'm going to scream!! And the eye rolling, ugh how did my parents put up with 4 of us??
We had a party tonight. Just a family thing, the friends party comes in September when she's back in school it seems easier that way every ones back from holidays then.
So what one might ask does a 14 year old girl want for her birthday?? Well other than the usual clothes and jewelry mine seems to like the idea of a hermit crab. Which apparently is the new "trend" here, or it seems anyways. Morgyn was at the mall the other day with her Nanny and cousins and they all came home gushing about these little crabs that you can buy as a pet. I have to still upload some pictures and then I will show off Hermie the Hermit Crab.
So I will end off say Happy 14th Birthday my girl. I love you xxxxxooooo

We're having a blast!
Wow the last week has gone fast, it usually does on holidays right? We've had some busy days and some quiet ones, a good balance.
My friend Jennifer who was diagnosed with leukemia last summer is doing really well. Thankfully. She has cute new hair growth and looks fabulous. We're taking the kids to Tinkertown next week.
We went with my BFF and her girls yesterday to see Nim's Island. It was a cute movie, Jodie Foster was a funny agoraphobic (I think that's what it was). We're going to see Journey to the Center of the Earth next week, I kinda love Brendan Fraser.
I've got to meet my niece Isrielle, dang she's cute. She made strange the 1st day, but she also had a budding ear infection. We've been having fun since, she has the littlest feet and the darkest eyes ever.
My Moms birthday is tomorrow, we're all going for Chinese food. Yum!
Just little update that has taken forever using an on-screen keyboard, very painful lol. Pictures and such to follow in a few weeks when we're back home.
Happy Summer!
