Twilight

Well, we finally got to see Twilight, the movie. After waiting all year, was it worth it? Well depends on who you ask.... Chantel never read the book and thought the movie was awesome. Shaelie and I had read it, (nine times for me), and we thought it left a lot to be desired, as far as matching the book, or being as good as the book. Sorry, but Rob Pattenson, just isn't MY Edward. Mickenzie is just now reading the book, she thought it was pretty good. Will I buy it when it comes out? Hmm. probably, but I won't make the mistake of re-reading the book right before I watch it again. :) It was a blast to pre purchase tickets and stand in a huge line, waiting to get into the theater though. I've never done that before. It was fun to go with my girls and Kadie to share a night out while Shawn and Seth spent the evening with Mike and the boys. Seth had a blast playing with Reed, it's all he's talked about today. I just wonder how Kadie's house faired??? The girls all wanted to go back and see it again tonight, but all the shows are sold out for the weekend. I do love the Twilght saga...and I will most likely go to all the movies, but they will never be as good as the books. I really hope the next three movies follow the books more closely. It would be SO much better. But it was FUN! FUN! FUN!

P.S. The girls and Seth and I went back to see Twilight again, right before it went out of the theater. I have to say the second time around I really loved it. There wasn't the expectation of having it be just like the book and I could just enjoy the movie. Seth even like the parts he was awake for (yes, we went in the afternoon, so I knew he would nap for part of it.) We are all looking forward to New Moon and having another crazy night out with the girls!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween, it was actually warm (for Montana, that means above zero) Of course Shaelie dressed as a snowboarder to stay warm this year and she was too hot. Seth was the cutest lion, thanks to a shopping trip to Goodwill at the last moment, and everyone loved his costume. He had a blast, once we got past the temper tantrum of getting the costume on and getting out the door. Mickenzie was a Greek goddess, and Chantel opted for going as a corpse bride. It was fun to take all of them Trick-or-Treating, we started about 6:00 pm at the church Trunk-or-Treat, and then took off around Boulder, they didn't stop until about 8:50 pm. They wanted to keep going, but I would hate people to still be knocking on my door that late! It is so fun to watch them running from house to house. I really think these girls are a little old to still be doing the trick or treat thing, but we have so much fun watching them, it's hard to tell them they can't go. I suppose I'll let them do it as long as they want to. They all grow up too fast anyway. :)
