Twilight

The Movie

Have you seen it? If you were in any theater and are over 17, you might have felt, like I did, a little out of place amidst all of the giggles and applause. I must admit though that Edwards is cuter than I originally thought. I won't ruin it for anyone but...

What did YOU think?

If you haven't seen it and plan to, don't check comments or you could ruin it for yourself.

Loving the Weather!

Although it is fall here in California we are experiencing beautiful sunny days. It is warm enough for shorts people! The other day, Carson and I were at the park and a family that had obviously moved from somewhere cold was explaining to her confused daughter that "it is winter here and that it wouldn't be snowing." Her daughter was puzzled and rightfully so because I am also wondering when it will feel like fall, not that I complaining, I love this weather!!

I came home from school today to find my hard working husband enjoying some time outside doing some yard work with a little helper. While I was pulling weeds, out of the corner of Andrew's eye he saw a grasshopper.


He lifted Carson up to show him and Carson said, "hello" to the grasshopper and then tried to grab it. It was too cute.

School update: Only three weeks and one exam left! I am hanging in there and almost 1/4 of the way done-yeah!

Breakfast of Champions

Saturday mornings aren't like all the rest. We keep our pj's on longer than usual and instead of rushing out the door, we get to stay at home. This past Saturday started out like most days of the week because we all have to eat. With Andrew still in bed, Carson and I started out the morning by making his favorite, oatmeal with applesauce when he spied with his little eyes- COOKIES!

Now, these particular cookies were not eaten because they were hard as rocks and kind of old, not my best batch. He grabs one of the rocks. Apparently, they were good enough for him. After grabbing one, he looks at me. I look at him back. My face was obviously neither approving or disapproving because he grabbed another cookie--don't you know that you have to have one for each hand?

By the look on his face he was happy to have two cookies but still not sure of he was going to get away with having cookies for breakfast. After thinking about it for a second, my first instinct was to take the cookies away causing a meltdown so early in the morning and make him eat his "regular and quite boring breakfast" or I could make him eat his breakfast and his cookie. Even to me the second option sounded much better, for him and me, so cookies for breakfast is exactly what we did.


Speaking of cookies, I have been trying to work out every day before the sun rises because if I don't do it at the crack of dawn I am a) too busy with everything else and b) it won't happen so sleep gets sacrificed. As a result, I leave my equipment out to save time in the morning. Which until Saturday had been fine because all Carson played with was the ball.


Well, this Saturday morning cookies must have given him super power strength because following breakfast, he decided to try lifting my weights. Well, 5 lbs to a kids that weighs only 21 lbs is pretty heavy. Consequently, the weights tumbled to the floor and cracked the tile...at least they didn't crack his feet. They say you are what you eat and although the cookie was like a rock it didn't give him super power strength. The plan; feed him more spinach before we let him weight train to avoid further household damages....and put the weights away after using them.
