finally!

-

Yesterday I finally picked up the library's copy of...yep, Twilight! I'm super excited. I'm already on chapter 4 (shush, I was tired last night & didn't read much) & Edward Cullen is already my crush. Stephanie Meyers is a wonderful word master. If I were her English teacher, she would get a 10 for word choice. She presumes her audience is intelligent, she doesn't act like we need only 4-letter words, and the words she chose make the characters leap to life. It's amazing; she's very talented.

I also wanted to share our little family picture from our trip. I didn't take ANY pictures except this and a few on my phone. Oops.

My boys after the end of their first flying experience.

Go play along with Angie at Seven Clown Circus for Wordful Wednesday!

Ahhh. Twilight!!!! I am SO happy for you as you embark on a magical journey through vampirehood. It's awesome, I was reading it at stoplights to and from work because I could NOT put it down. Just be careful, it can be dangerous!!!!!!!

I am thinking about reading Twilight (with all the hype it is receiving I almost feel like I HAVE to). I'll have to come back to see how you like it.

Happy WW

Enjoy the book(s)...and love the photo!

Thanks for the WW comment. I saw that t-shirt in the store and had to buy one for each of my girls. Plan on taking a photo of both wearing the shirts while their daddy holds them! Might use that for another WW.

I just started reading Twilight too!
I finally broke down and told my friend to just let me borrow her book, now I can't get enough of it! I'm already halfway through and told her she better get the second one ready for me.
It gets so much better than it already is!
Mover over Bella, I want Edward!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-
Image
Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
