Twilight Movie- No Spoilers

Alright, here it is I usually don't blog about anything other than my family but I was just to excited about this I just had to post something. For those of you who have heard my excitement, feel free to stop reading now because it's nothing different that what I've already said! 

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the Twilight Movie!!! I though it really captured the feeling and the innocence of the book. Yes it was low budget, yeah the special effects weren't that great and yes Edward was hairy when he sparkled in the sun (at least to me). But none of that matters because I loved it the whole way through. My favorite part is when Edward first smells Bella!!!! I laughed so hard I almost cried! I loved it! So if you haven't seen it, see it. You won't regret it (Jovania!), it was tons better than I thought it would be and I don't think they could've made it any better. I read bad reviews and talk to people that had seen it before I saw it so I went with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The second Edward walks in (as cheesy as it was) I knew he was going to do a great job! I want to see it again. Anyway, even though I've said it a million times I'm going to say it again! I LOVED IT!!!

(BTW, my husband really liked it too, but he's also read, and enjoyed, the books also.)

Go see it!

Funny Faces

Mario and I had a little bit of fun with this photo program that it on our computer. We hope it gives you a good laugh!

Potty Training Success!

Earlier this year, I think it was March, we started potty training Mario (the little one, not my husband). He did really good, and then he decided that he wanted to wear diapers again like the "baby." We tried and tried and tried and couldn't get him to go in the potty. We were all tired of the training. "Fine," I said, "Then you can just go in your pants forever!" Come on, haven't we all had that feeling at some point in the training. 

But now I am proud to announce...... (drum roll, please) that little Mario has gone 4 days accident free!!! (I'm probably jinxing myself right now) But he has gone poo-poo and pee-pee in the potty without us nagging him to go! We're still working on nighttime, but I am sooo glad that he's finally going during the day!!! Now who knows, he may change his mind today, but at least I know he can do it consistently now. 

Here's a funny story for you. I was really tired yesterday so I took a little nap while Mario watched a show and Hannah slept. Well, during that time when I was sleeping/listening to him to make sure he didn't get into trouble, he came to me and said, "Mommy, I gotta go potty." I said, "Okay go I'll be in there in a minute." Yeah, no, I feel asleep. I woke up later and he was fine and watching his show. We got up and went about our daily chores. Well, then I had to go to the bathroom, so I went in to the bathroom and found a WHOLE ROLL of toilet paper unrolled on the floor, wet. Evidently when I was sleeping and he went to the potty on his own he had peed on the floor and tried to clean it up. I couldn't really get mad at him, I was the slacker mom, but I still told him that he can't do that, just to use a little bit or get me to help. Then I went and got a plastic bag and cleaned it up. We may be saving money on diapers, but we're using it on toilet paper! LOL! 

Wish us luck! We can do it!

Funny and Gross Moments

On Friday we spent the day with Jovania hanging out. We had a really fun day. At one point I was cutting vegetables and accidently took a chunk out of my left pinky finger. It bleed for, oh I don't know 5 hours.... and I'm retarded and I never went to the ER. We were having too much fun hanging out. It was "convenient" for me to leave my kids with her and go take care of my finger. So I just kept rewrapping it and going on with the day. Well this morning (Sat.) I finally went to the ER and after 4 hours of waiting, they finally took me in and said, "You probably should've come in yesterday. We would've put a few stitches in it. But since it's been more than 12 hours since the accident, we can't do anything for it but clean it." So they cleaned it, put some skin glue on it, gave me a tetanus shot and sent me on my way. Yeah, so I won the idiot of the day award on friday and I get a big ugly scar for it! LOL! I spared you the picture I took. 

On a more funny note. When we (me and my kids) finally got home from Jovania's house, little Mario had fallen sleep in the car so I brought him in and put him on the couch. I needed him to wake up so I sat him up and tried to wake him up. He whined for a minute and opened his eyes so I walked off to take care of something. When I came back he had fallen back asleep sitting up!! It was sooo funny looking. 

Mario's Witch Laugh and Hannah's Dance

Jovania has this witch (I have one too) that she put out in front so that when trick-or-treaters came she could hear them approaching.  Mario and Maggie thought it was pretty funny. We caught Mario laughing with it. Jovania is trying to take a picture of him laughing but he kept turning around!  Such a silly boy!

This one is from Sunday night. We caught Hannah doing "her dance" on video. I think it is soooo funny! She just shakes her head while she walks. It cracks me up!

Halloween 2008

Last night was a fun filled evening of ghostly fun! We had dinner at Greg and Jovania's. We had mummy dogs, chili, cider, chips, corn bread, candied apples and a jack-o-lantern cake for dessert. It was delicious! Then Greg and Jo's house started getting swamped with trick-or-treaters. They get so many trick-or-treaters in their neighborhood that they close it down to cars between 6 and 8pm. 

We got the kids all dressed up and hit the streets. We were out for about 45 minutes and then houses started running out of candy. So instead of hiking all over we just headed home. 

We had a great time last night! It's fun to have little Mario big enough to actually understand what's going on. At one point while trick-or-treating he was saying "Trick or chocolate" He knew exactly what he wanted!
