It's A Twilight Thing

My Twilight Movie Weekend

My weekend began on Thursday November 20th and started out with scrapbook club night. We made a cute Christmas page and some gift tags. Followed by meeting up with other friends at Red Robin for a late dinner about 10pm. Which was crazy. There was not one man in the place except for the bar tender. After we all braved the crowed theater for a midnight showing of Twilight. For my review on Twilight click HERE.

In side the movie theater lobby. WOW! That is a lot of people. The theater sold out midnight showings for all 20 of their movie screens.

Then on to Friday night, which was the TwilightMoms big event. We had rented out two theaters along with the banquet rooms upstairs. We had large per-party event before the movie. By having vender's come in and set up booths, games, and trivia, Pictures with stand ups of the cast and cars from local dealerships. My dad even let us use his 1954 Chevy truck that he restoring for Bella's truck. Our event had sold every out, which is about 1000 people. The only thing I can say was we had a great time and I will never forget this night. There were so many people and fans. check out the slide show below.

The following morning few us TwilightMoms met up for breakfast at IHOP. It was nice to see everyone and hang with Amie from Idaho that day. Overall I can not believe we pulled this event and weekend off. Now I need a week to rest.

Happy Halloween!!

So for Halloween Jarren was a Skeleton, Jacob a Dinosaur, and Joseph a Lion. It was very hard to get them together for a picture. All they wanted to do was go trick or treating. Go figure!!So I got some shots while we were out in our neighborhood. John was not feeling well and stayed home to pass out candy. They had a lot of fun. Joseph was the only one who would say Trick or Treat and Thank You.

Jacob all ready to go!!
Joseph ready for the next house and more candy!!

And as you all know I love Twilight. So my good friend Amy found this website where I could get some honey colored contacts for Halloween. So I went as one of the Cullen's with my topaz vampire colored eyes.
I am not sure if you tell in the picture. Since it looks better in person.

The 1st Grade Progam

On October 23rd Jarren's 1st grade class put on a cute program with songs about their day at school. It was amazing to see how many 1st graders their really are. And there are a lot!! As I looked at all the kids I was thinking WOW that is going to be Jarren's graduating class.
A very blurry picture of the 1st grade class. I have no idea what happened when taking that picture.
Jarren is in the very center there, again it is blurry. I know this one would be since I was zooming in all the way.
Jarren with is teacher after the program.

After the program we took the boys to Wingers for a late dinner. When I asked them to smile this is what I got.
I guess boys will be boys!!

Fall Field Trip

On October 21st Jacob's pre-school class went to Historic Wheeler Farm. Where they got to see horses, cows, chickens, turckeys, and two week old piggies. The landscaping was very beautiful with all the fall colors and leaves. We even got to take a wagon ride out through some of the pretty trees. The boys really loved it and a great time. Jarren got to come since he was off track from school.

Fun In The Pirate Pumkin Patch

Since Jarren is in a year round school district and has the last three weeks of October off track. My friend Lisa and I decided it would be fun to take our boys to a pumpkin patch that has theme with pirates. The boys had a great time. They got to climb on a pirate ship, run through a hay maze, and I was able to get some fun pictures of them all. We had a great time chasing the kids around.
Here is Cooper, Jarren, Bridger, Jacob, and Joseph. I think it is funny!!

Look Jacob is looking at the camera!

Here we have all five boys again. Cooper, Bridger,Jarren, Jacob, and Joseph.
Here I am with my three boys. We did have a good time. After I took the kids to McDonald's for lunch and then off to make messes at grandma's house.

1st Grade Halloween Party

On October 15,2008 Jarren had his school Halloween Party. Jarren wanted to be a skeleton, so I found this cool costume for him. It has a mask that goes with it but he can not wear the mask to school. So I painted his face to help complete his look.
In his class we had the kids try and eat a doughnut from a string, played M&M bingo, and created a spiders with Zingers. It was fun to see all the kids dressed up for Halloween.
Jarren showing off his costume. Oooo Scary!!
