Twilight

My niece (Alexa) and me at the movie (for the 2nd time) wearing our TEAM EDWARD shirts!

Twilight = if you haven't started reading the series, start NOW!!!! It is incredible! If you are not sure you will like the vampire thing, trust me...you will! It's not what you think and I have not been able to put the books down! I'm almost done with the third one and will immediately have to go buy the fourth! My friend Poppy got me into the series. I could not put Twilight down and when we would get to school, Poppy and I would talk about it all day long!! I made my friend Lori read it and she was reading at her desk during her breaks. Now, I got my friend Teresa reading it too! It's that good! Well, the movie opened Friday and I, of course, went to see it! I went with a couple of other teachers and we met other people there too! Lori and I rode with Poppy and we couldn't get there fast enough! We decided to go to Malco since they have the biggest screens. We were the first ones in the theater (I don't think I've ever been that early to a movie before). We actually go kicked out while they cleaned the theater real quick! We all LOVED the movie! The book was better (but what book isn't better than the movie) and they did leave stuff out for time purposes, but how could you get upset when you could look at Rob Pattinson the whole time (I think the whole theater erupted in squeals when he came on the screen the first time)! Ahhhhhh! After reading about the movie...it was a low budget film produced by a low budget company. They had no idea it was going to become the hit it has. I think that will make the other 3 longer and keep more with the book knowing all the rabib Twilight fans out there! When we got back in the car, Poppy's daughters said that me, Lori, and Poppy were acting like a couple of teenagers over the movie! Hysterical! Well, I loved it so much that I'm going AGAIN, TONIGHT!

Halloween with "Super Manze"

Trick-or-treating this year was the night before Halloween in our county. They changed it because of all the High School football games on Friday night (Friday Night Lights)...that's what happens when you live in a "football consumes our lives" part of the country! LOL! So, Manze was able to trick-or-treat in Flowood on Thursday night AND Ridgeland on Friday night (they kept trick-or-treating on Halloween)! TWO nights of trick-or-treating...you can't beat that when your two-and-a-half! Manze was "Super Manze!" She looked so cute in her costume! Thanks to Brittany who found a toddler size Superman cape at Six Flags and brought it back to me for Manze's costume! How sweet was that!!!! It MADE the outfit! I got to work on my monogram machine and monogrammed "Super Manze" on the back of her cape and monogrammed M's on wrist bands that I made and a red jacket! She was a stylin Superhero! She had superhero boots and all! She was running all over the place and HAD to ring the doorbell at every house! The big kids that were with us got to the door and waited for her to come so she could ring the doorbell! How sweet!!!! She had a BLAST!

Happy Halloween

Carving a pumokin with Daddy!

"Super Manze" striking the superhero pose! (Don't know what was wrong with my camera)

The next night of trick-or-treating, striking the pose! She had been jumping in the space jump so her hair was a mess!

If you look real close you can see the monogram...every pic there was a glare from the shiny fabric of the cape!

running all over the place

Carrying all her loot home!

Halloween at School

For Halloween this year, the 2nd grade teachers dressed up as punk rock stars! We all went to Walmart together the night before and got our outfits and accessories! The kids LOVED it and thought we were so cool!! We have way too much fun together! Pictured (L to R): Lori Murrah, Jennifer Gordon, and me!
