Twilight the movie

We had "Girls Night Out!" last night to see "Twilight". I set my expectations low, knowing that it would not be exactly like the book, and I was pleasantly surprised. I give it a thumbs up. And I get to go again tonight with Spencer's office!!! Yay Me!


Grayson's Corner: I think I may have to do a Grayson's corner now because he says the funniest things. I was taking him to Daddy's office so that he could hang out until closing time and we pulled up to the office and he says "I've changed my mind, I just want to go home." I'm sitting there saying "Are you kidding me!" He looks at me and says "Geez Mom, can't a man change his mind?"

Jam

Since this is my journal and I was going through some photos I had on my phone I thought I should add a picture so that everyone could laugh at me. Strawberries were on sale one day a few months back. Spencer loves homemade Strawberry Jam. Whenever we are having pancakes or rolls he always has to sing that one song that starts out "Jam, Oooh Jam" (can't remember who sings it). and if the kids ask or it he makes them sing it too. Anyways, so it was on sale and I thought I'll buy some and make some jam and surprise him! So I followed the recipe, and I had a TON of strawberries so while one batch was cooking, I was blend more up and kept looking over to the cooking batch. It hadn't started to boil so I was watching it closely. Then when I looked away to focus on the blending batch, the cooking batch started to boil and it really took off. There was strawberry jam from here to kingdom come. It was a huge and sticky mess. It took a picture with my phone and emailed it to Spencer telling him that I did it all for him. I must really love him!

School

Well, I took my last final on Monday and I am done until January, when I will only take math. This semester was really hard on me. I actually got an "A" in my MAT092, and I got a "B" in ENG101. I feel really bad about the English class, it was kind of on the back burner because the math was so tough. I would spend Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and sometimes Thursday on math and then try to hurry to research and write a 1500 word essay in the next couple of days and hand it in on Monday. I'm sad about the "B" because I was a straight "A" student up until now. Of course I'm not including Weber State because I was more interested in the social aspect of school. But post kids I was a straight "A" student until now. I knew it wouldn't last, I keep wondering what I'm going to do when the tests aren't open book, open note tests. I guess we shall see, but for now I'm done and I survived MAT092.

Go Cards!!!

We took the kids to the Monday Night Football game against the 9ers. We all had a great time, and the kids are getting better at wanting to stay at games. Last year I took Grayson to a hockey game and by the time we drove all the way down to the US Airways center, got our dinner and sat down he said "Can we go now?" I was about ready to throw him out on the ice and let the players knock some sense into him. When we would take them to Sun's basketball games they would do the same. Last night we actually stayed until there was only 7 minutes left in the game and made it home just in time to see the end, and the Cardinals win! Another side note, Grayson used to get mad when Spencer and I would go the the Sun's games and not take him because it was the "Sun's" game and he is the "son"!

I had been sneezing all day and thought that my allergies were running wild. I woke up this morning and had a sinus infection. Spencer came home and took care of the kids for lunch and took Brenna back to the office with him. Margaret put her to work while she was there and I'm sure she was in heaven. Grayson stayed home with me. I was in bed all day long and he came up after eating lunch and said "let me know if you need anything." They are good kids!
