Twerds.....that would be short for Twilight Nerds!!!

So my friends and I are a little obsessed with all things Twilight (or should I say Edward). Thanks to Alexis I started reading the books, then I told Big C (from my work) about it and word spread around work and before long those close to me became Twilight fanatics!! So, when we found out the movie was coming out we just couldn't help ourselves from going a little crazy. We made shirts (thats right...we made them!) and competed with all those little tweens for some Edward love!! It was a really fun night! We had some great laughs!!

Trick or Treat

Belly dressed up as the "itsy bitsy spider" for Halloween this year. Last weekend we went to trunk or treat at the church. The children walk around the parking lot and get treats from the trunks of people's car. Then on Halloween we went trick or treating around the Harrington's neighborhood with Mike, Alexis, Grayson, John, and Jena. The weather was beautiful! I think Belly was more interested in climbing all the steps instead of getting the treats. It's ok though because she got plenty of chocolate for Mom and Dad to eat!!

I'm a slacker!

So it's been about six weeks since I last posted anything. I have no excuse other than that I just haven't found the time. It's definitely not that there wasn't anything to talk about. We've been keeping very busy with everyday things. Now that summer is over all the autumn fun has begun. With the weather cooling down we decided it would be perfect weather for painting. So we began the tedious task of taping, primering, and painting. It was hard work but we love the wall and are so happy we did it.....

















Then on Saturday we went with the Harrington's to a pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins and go on a hayride. Belly loves pumpkins right now so she was in heaven walking around the patch. The farm had a haunted corn maze and MeMe was terrified of the scary monsters walking around while Belly and Grayson looked at them like they were just everyday people. The hayride was crowded and miserable but all in all we got a great deal on the pumpkins!!

Finally....

I know it's been awhile since I last posted anything but I have been spending about two weeks trying to figure out how to put the video of Belly dancing on the blog. I FINALLY DID IT!! So, I'm not completely computer savvy but I am learning by process of elimination! See video on the right...

Guys Night Out

So, B went to Bengals training camp with his bestest friends, Mike and John. The enthusiasm that Mike and John have for sports is so childlike, it's very sweet. They both grew up out west (Utah & Idaho) where there are few professional sports teams, so they are both just living it up. The boys had a great time! John made a new friend there, #85 "Ocho Stinko" and he told John he has something special for his first TD. B trashed his jersey in the off-season, but I am sure he will be cheering for him the first time he scores a TD. Who Dey! (B typed that part)

Twilight Series

So it's been awhile since I last posted anything. I do have a reason for that and I can only blame my friend Alexis. She introduced me to the Twilight series and I got sucked in. I've read 3 books, 1800+ pages, and still have 700 pages to go. It's a quick read and it's so hard to put down. I love the books...I love Edward!!

Ikea.....ugh! Finally a new bedroom set!

After several days and sleepless nights we have finally finished putting together our new bedroom set! Our previous room consisted of random pieces of furniture from random people. We went to Ikea when it opened and fell in love with the Malm bedroom set. Little did we know when we took it home how hard it would be to put together. The first night we were up until 4am and only had the bed put together. I understand now why it is so inexpensive. They just put some wood and screws in a box and you have to figure out how it all goes together! Well, with a little, and I mean little, help from Butter I finally figured it out and three days later here it is! We love it and I haven't slept this good in a long time!
