Midnight Showing of Twilight!
So... I gave in and went to the midnight movie of Twilight. We had 42 in our group and they opened another theatre for us! Wasn't that nice of them? I am not a fanatic by any means. I liked the books and after all my friends were raving about them I just had to read them to see what all the hype was... I really can't remember the last time I was up at 2:30AM, probably pulling an all-nighter in college. I agreed to go to the midnight showing because I thought that Friday would be a late start Friday for the girls and I could sleep in a bit... no such luck, we have half days because of conferences! I also knew Todd wouldn't be interested at all. I did like the film. I think they cast Bella spot on! She was wonderful! I didn't like Edward at first, he wasn't what I imagined him to be like. But because he is Diggory from Harry Potter, he grew on me. They did a good job condensing down the book and my friend, who hasn't read them and still may not, totally understood everything. We were sitting in the theatre for over an hour, just chatting, it was fun and I wasn't even that tired, but I am right now. I just had lunch and am sitting down in my recliner with my nice warm laptop on my lap...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, oh, sorry about that! Definitely go see this show!

New background!
Yes, to answer any questions... I did finally figure out how to change my background on the blog. I really was getting tired of the old one. Now I will join the rest of you and keep on top of the changing seasons and holidays!
Sydney is home today and tomorrow as she has half days until next Thursday, due to conferences. Bryant is so excited to have someone other than me to play with, although they are on their second viewing of Kung Fu Panda!
Todd has started traveling again. He is still with Infosys Consulting here, but is on a new project. Get this... Intel in Hillsboro, Oregon! Just where we came from! I can't believe it! It is driving me crazy that he is there and we are here! If you couldn't tell... I'd go back in a heartbeat for sure! He leaves Monday mornings and is home Thursday nights. I am once again joining my "single" mom friends Tari and Michelle! This is our first week, so wish me luck!

Volley ball Dad!
Todd is the one in dark shorts and a white t shirt about to hit the ball. Our ward men's team made it to regionals, can you believe that? They are so big into sports here in the Seattle area and pretty competitive too!
Sydney was the ring leader/babysitter for all the kids not watching their dads, which was all of them. Sorry dads! They played follow Sydney, train, and played with her littlest pet shop animals.
Hiking trails to the park
Last week we had the Monday before Veteran's Day off of school for a teacher day, so we met up with some friends and took off on a hike near their home. The trails go all around and include a park with tables, benches, and play structures to climb. To tell the truth... the kids had more fun hiking through the trails and so that is what we spent most of the time doing. The trails head toward another park, so we tried that park out too, but as soon as we got there someone had to go to the bathroom! So, we hiked back to the house and played some more. We ended up staying for dinner and FHE. Our friend's dad went to Italy for his mission and so we had some yummy pasta for dinner. The kids put on a talent/fashion show, whichever they were in the mood for! It was a fun, long day of playing. Six hours is a long time, but the kids did well.
