Upon further review...

Ha! I think I've heard that said on the football field a few times, but I'm not actually talking about football today....

Yep, you guessed it, Twilight!

In this post, I mentioned that it looks like James and Edward collide mid air. After watching it a few times and seeing a behind the scenes clip (for the life of me I can not remember where I found it) I have decided that it is NOT James, but actually Emmett... AND I have reason to believe that it is during the baseball game.

I guess we'll have to wait until Nov. 21st to know for sure. :)

According to Robert Pattinson Daily (one of MANY Twilight sights that I check daily) this scene is part of a 3 minute preview that you can download from itunes.

I will receive your thanks by way of comments! :)

Less than 2 weeks until....

TWILIGHT!

For your viewing pleasure I present...

Ooooo... When James and Edward collide in the air... :)

Free kid to a good home!

Yeah, that's right... I thought about advertising a low asking price, but now she's just free.
Only serious inquiries please.

This was one of THOSE days!



Yeah, this picture is from this past January when Riley tried to bake me a birthday cake, but you get the idea!

The first time I attempted to make dinner was at 3:00...
I rounded the corner in the kitchen to find Riley ankle deep in grits... yes, grits!
I tried to sweep them, but that just wasn't working.... so I pulled out my vacuum cleaner.

The second time was about 3:30...
I went to pull the chicken out of the microwave and hear, "MOM! Riley's pouring milk out!"
I round the corner into the living room to find Riley had managed to unscrew the lid on her sippy cup and has poured her milk on their coloring table.
I soaked up the milk and disinfected the table.

The third time was about 4:00...
I again tried to get the chicken out of the microwave when I heard the toilet lid in our back bathroom...
I RAN to the bathroom to find that Riley had dumped an entire box of feminine products all over the floor.
I started towards her and FELL! Why did I fall? BECAUSE THE FLOOR WAS WET!
Apparently she was using Chandler's brand new knit beanie hat (with silver tinsel on it) to soak up all of the water in the toilet and transport it to my bedside table!!!
It was only 20 minutes later when I discovered the hat laying on my bed... still soaked!

From 4:30 till Brandon got home just after 5:00 I sat on my bed and then on the floor in my room using a hair dryer to dry the mattress and the carpet... not because I was overly worried about our old crappy carpet, but because if I didn't do something I was afraid my head would explode!!!

In 2 hours, Riley managed to destroy my house!!!

However, over dinner we had a lovely chat with Chandler about the current happenings in the love life of kindergarteners.

C: "I have another boyfriend now."
B: "Oh yeah? What's his name?"
C: "I don't know."
J: "Is he in your class?"
C: "Yes."
B: "Then you should know his name!"
C: "Ethan."
J: "Ethan C. or Ethan M.?"
C: "The one with the yellow hair that sticks up like this." (As she pulls her bangs straight out from her forehead)
J: "C or M?"
C: "C."
B: "Is he the one that eats breakfast with you in the mornings?"
C: "Yes."
B: "Does he go to church?"
C: "Not to my church."
B: "Does he go to another church?"
C: "Yes, but he didn't tell me which one."
B: "Chandler. I forbid you to see him again!"
C: With big round eyes "I always see him at school!"

We just died laughing...

As she was saying all of these things I grabbed a coloring book (don't you have coloring books laying on your table at dinner time?) and started writing down everything she said.

C: "Um. Are you writing down everything I'm saying?"
J: "Yes."
C: "Why?"
B: "Because you are funny."

A few minutes later...
C: "I want to marry Ethan C."
J: "Chandler don't ever get married."
C: "Look at my eyes! I'm so mad at you that you won't let me marry him!"

Looks at me...
C: "Are you gonna write that down mom?"

A Plug for my Pal, Jenny

Jenny and I met while suffering through a semester of Business Finance back in the Fall of 2002... At finals time that December I was 3 weeks away from giving birth to Chandler... When I say suffering, I really mean suffering! :)

Anyway, Jenny was always very sweet and I enjoyed sitting in front of her during class.

She's actually using her Business Education... she own's her own store in downtown Cleveland. It's called Razzberry'z and it has some of the cutest gifts you will find!
I hate that I don't get to go in there as often as I would like, but having a Riley makes trips downtown a bit difficult. :)

Jenny also has an online store at Etsy.

Check her out at Razzberry'z online!

Cute, cute, cute stuff!

Because I know you are DYING to know...

The Miles Family already has Halloween costumes for next year...

But I'm not going to tell you what they are... only that they arrived in the mail yesterday! :)

Thanks Kristy!

So, on my way out of Hobby Lobby last night, my cell phone starts ringing... I look at the called ID and see that it's Kristy. I automatically know that this is either a scrapbook, craft or Twilight call! :)

It was a Twilight call!
She saw the new Paramore Video 'Decode' and was a WEE BIT EXCITED!

Check it out on her blog!

It's so nice to have a friend who is just as obsessed with Twilight... if not more so!

I will say that I watched the video again just a minute ago and it actually gave me goosebumps!

**On a completely different note... have you noticed that a lot (if not most) of my blog entries start with "so"?
One day I may count how many, but not today... I've got too many hair bows to make!!

TV Spot #7

Similar to TV spot #4, but slightly different.

Halloween Happenings!

So, my real life friend, Christina, thinks that her family waited late to carve their pumpkin this year... Um, we carved ours when Chandler got out of school ON HALLOWEEN DAY! :)

The girls helped scoop all of the insides out...

Well, Chandler helped... Riley was too grossed out!

She kept making this face and saying, "Blech!"

Our happy little pumpkin!

Then it was time to get ready for a night full of friends, candy, costumes, and cries of outrage!

My Tinkerbell and Belle!
Chandler's hair was MUCH easier this year... although all of the pin curls under the wig took some time.

Chandler wanted to recreate last year's Halloween photo... You can view it here.
I think her exact words were, "Mom? Would you like for Riley to look at me like we did last time?"

Me and my Belle!
And I told Chandler that I actually AM in costume this year...
Um Hello? Did you not expect a Twilight themed Halloween?
Yes, I am Alice Cullen!
I thought about going as Rosalie Hale since I had a long blonde wig from a party we went too the previous weekend, but my dear friend, Evan, informed me that I do not pull off blonde very well!
Thanks Evan! :P

Me and Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell was too busy running around the yard to get a good picture!

We stopped at Zaxby's for dinner... it's turning into an annual thing, I think. :)

Then it was off to Trunk or Treat...

We paused for a photo op with Dorothy and a Flying Monkey (aka Katelyn and Sean)

Chandler got her photo with JoJo again this year!

Riley started figuring out this Trunk or Treat thing...
"Ummm... I do believe they have candy over there!"
By the end of the night she would hold her bag and say, "pweese".

The Allen's are big FSU fans...

Their trunk came complete with a grill Florida Gator!

It was a good night, but we headed home early this year! No mall, no block party, a few tears, but we survived!

She cracks me up!

Today I ran to Wal-Mart to pick up a few miscellaneous things. Here's a real life conversation I had with Chandler when I got home...

C: "Mom! Did you get me anything?"
J: "Nope. Not this time."
C: Eying the Wal-Mart bags, "Mom! What did you get me?"
J: "Nothing Chandler unless you count icecube trays."
C: "Ok. Let me count them."

Let that one sink in for a minute!

OK.... hee hee!
