Twilight

As most of my friends know...I don't read much, but a friend gave me this book and said it was great. Unsure of the story I decided to give it a try. Quite a few people have read this story and loved it, I quickly realised that I would love it too.

I couldn't pull myself out of the book until the third chapter, not because my interest faded but simply because it took 52 pages to break away!

When not reading I wonder what will happen next, it's as if a fire has been rekindled (I enjoyed reading as a child and teen but it faded away when I had my family).

I'd heard the movie will be in theatres on Nov 21st and did some math, realizing that I would need to read 70 pages a day in order to finish.

I chortled to myself knowing full well that it would be an impossibilty (for me anyway, I read slowly to fully enjoy what I'm reading).

I must say that it has been an effortless task...no...a joy reading this book. I've been reading for 2 days and already I'm half way through...that's 276 pages. There's something about this book that I adore but I can't put my finger on it.

Here's hoping the movie will live up to my expectations.

Our Little Pumpkin

We took these pictures on Halloween, before going to the kids parties. Our intention was to get some ice-cream at Village Pointe Shopping Center but came across a pumpkin display at the entrance. Hence...no ice-cream... but great pictures instead.
I love it when photo opportunities come along in unexpected ways :)


How can...

We resist...

Her charms???

Halloween Fun

Mike and I went to the school party. It was fun to help in the classroom and watch a magic show.

TRICK OR TREAT ~ SMELL MY FEET ~

GIVE ME SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT

Kaeleigh in her pink puppy/bunny costume (not sure which)

Note the two fisted grasp : she didn't let go the whole time (2 hrs)

"Pay no attention to the woman behind the skeleton".

I really wanted a picture of all three kids but Kaeleigh was afraid of Braden.

Kaeleigh ~ Oh I get it...I hold this pumpkin and people put candy in it... Why don't we do this everyday?!

Next to some cool decorations.

Kaeleigh realized, if she stood at the door with a cute expression, people would give her extra candy. She ended up with more than her brother and sister. We had to dump it out several times so she could carry the bucket.

True depiction of their relationship. Isn't it sweet?

Now, if I can just STOP eating the treats...somehow I don't think that will happen (as she blogs surrounded by empty wrappers). ;-P
