TWILIGHT!!!

I saw Twilight this weekend. I didn't go with all the crazy people to the 12:01 am showing on Thursday night/Friday morning (sorry to my friends that did :-)). But I did go opening weekend. This is NOT like me at all. I rarely go to movies. The last movie we saw in the theater was with a gift card that we won at Eric's work's luau in 2007. Pretty much every movie we've seen in the theater has been courtesy of a gift card. What can I say, we're both cheap. But I HAD to see Twilight. And I loved it. Sure, the acting could have been better, the hair and makeup needed some work, and the script and editing weren't what they could have been. But overall, I was thrilled. I loved seeing the people and story that I love come to life. At the end of the 2 hours I was not ready to leave. I could have stayed for another hour or two and not have realized how long I'd been there. I wish the rest of the books were coming out as movies sooner. Oh well. At least I can be sure that there will be a sequel.

Yea Twilight!

Kaylin's Fashion Corner

This installment of Kaylin's Fashion Corner is brought to you by Eric (aka the best husband in the world).

Eric stayed home from work on Wednesday to help me with Kaylin since I could barely walk. I really needed to go to JoAnn's (the fabric was on sale plus I had an extra 10% off everything coupon... it was an emergency!) Eric got Kaylin dressed so we could go. When I asked about her lovely outfit, Eric kindly explained WHY it matched. In case you are also wondering why it matched, I will explain. You see, her too small capris are green. The baby legs have green in them. The baby legs and too small shirt are both striped. There is pink in both the baby legs and shirt and her hair clip also has pink in it (who cares that they are all different shades). That is why it matches. And yes, I let her go to the store in this outfit. I put a coat on her and hoped that people would think she dressed herself. I also made sure to stay away from Eric and Kaylin while in JoAnn's ;-).

Pictures are fixed

I think my internet is FINALLY working normally. I re-uploaded my hurt foot pictures. You should be able to see them now :-).

12 Days of Junkie

Alright all of my crafty (and not-so-crafty) friends, do I have some giveaways for you! Tip Junkie is hosting a 12 Days of Junkie Giveaway (aka Mom-preneur Shop-a-thon Giveaway). She will be giving away 2 prizes a day for 12 days! Good luck to all (especially me)!!

Mathematical PROOF that housecleaning is bad for your health

+

=

Yup folks. It's true. I just proved it myself, and I majored in this stuff and taught proofs for four years. I should know.

Here's the story. On Saturday morning I was carrying the vacuum down the stairs and somehow tripped. The toes of my right foot bent underneath my foot as they bumped down over 4 or 5 steps. It made quite the commotion because the vacuum came apart and multiple pieces of it were also crashing down the stairs. I started yelling for Eric, who was still in bed (Saturday is his day to sleep in, Sunday is mine). I heard all sorts of crashing as he came running to my rescue, poor guy probably thought I was dead. I started yelling, "I'm okay, I'm okay!" so hopefully he wouldn't hurt himself while trying to get to me.

It started to swell immediately and it took a long time for the pain to subside. But once it did, as long as I had my foot up it felt alright. Eric took me to the doctor on Monday (it's my right foot, so I couldn't drive myself). They took x-rays and thankfully found that nothing was broken. I guess it's just a really bad bruise. I have my MIL's walking boot, leftover from the foot surgery she had this summer, which has been a lifesaver. When I do have to walk somewhere the boot allows me to do it. The doctor gave me a lovely shoe, I'll take a picture later, that I am supposed to wear as soon as I don't need the boot. He said it will probably be about a week. Once I'm in the shoe I should hopefully be able to drive. For now I'm just supposed to keep my foot up as much as possible, which isn't too hard to do since it hurts when it's not up.

Kaylin is NOT happy about this.

That was her this morning. Poor thing.

THANK YOU to my wonderful friends Kristina and Krista who are bringing me dinner, coming over to play with Kaylin, and driving me to play group. And thank you to my in-laws who have fed us and entertained Kaylin. I appreciate you guys so much more than you know. I feel so blessed to have you guys in my life! Here's to hoping I'll be able to drive and walk normally again soon!!!!

My little helper

This Saturday the stars aligned and we did some yard work. This is a rare event because three things have to happen: a) we have to be home on a Saturday, b) it can't be raining, c) it can't be too cold. Kaylin was such a good helper. She carried Eric's bucket of weeds around for him and brought it to him when he asked for it.

The Greens came over to watch the Texas/Texas Tech game and Kaylin tried to help Brandon with his computer. She's such a good little helper (when she wants to be).

Trick-or-Treat?

Kaylin refused to put her costume on. Eric tried to entice her by wearing it himself.



She never put the costume on, so Eric wore it on his head while we went trick-or-treating on our street. Eric's mom came to join in on the fun. Kaylin loved the houses that had candy on their porch (why do people do that... do they honestly think the kids are going to take 1 or 2??). Much to Eric's dismay, whenever Kaylin had the choice she grabbed a sucker. Let's be real, she's not eating much of this candy, this candy is for Eric and he isn't a "dum dum sucker" type of guy.

If you've been on our street, you've seen these awesome lions. My sister's little girl growled when they drove by them. TWO houses have these outside their front porches. Kaylin kissed one of the lions, but my camera is too slow and we didn't get a picture.

We let Kaylin eat a nasty coconut dum dum sucker when we got home. She kept saying, "Nummy! Nummy!"

We didn't go the football game as planned because there was no football game. For various reasons the game was moved to Thursday. Oh well.
