Twilight

So, my husband wasn't too thrilled about me wanting to drag him out thanksgiving weekend to go see Twilight, but he said he would go, (what a trooper), but on monday my friend Amanda called and said that she had seen it, but would like to go again, and they were showing it in Evanston, at 9:45 pm so we could go after the kids were in bed.

We decided to go, and we invited everyone we saw on tuesday, or tried to, it was so last minute, I am sorry if we didn't get to anyone who wanted to go, but we had about 12 ladies who went, it was so much fun just to get a night out with the girls, and watch the movie that we all enjoyed.

I loved it!! Of course, I tend to forget most of the book about a week after I read it, so I wasn't thinking about what was left out. Now I want to read the book again!

We decided that we need to do this about once a month (to keep our sanity) Girl's night out!!

If we missed you this time, but want to come next time, let me know!

Now I decided that I will try to drag my MIL and her sister to the movie on thanksgiving, I told Jason that him and his dad can take the kids to Madagascar! We'll see how it goes, but I definetley want to see it again!

2 a.m. Honking

Most people if they woke up at 2am to honking, and screaming would grab the phone and dial 911, but living in a small community, this happens hopefully a few times a year, and it happened again this weekend. No it was not Halloween parnksters out smashing pumpkins, or anything.
Here is the story...
I was sound asleep, and something woke me up, at first I thought it may have been our puppy needing to go out (she does that sometimes), but as I laid there trying to get my mind to work, I reallized it was honking and screamming!! I turned to Jason who must have been awoken also, and said "We must have took state" then I turned around and went back to sleep.
Yes, whenever one of our High School teams takes state, no matter how late they roll into town, they drive the streets in a caravan honking and screaming, usually starting with the bus and all the athletes, then followed by the fans (aka parents) they are hanging out the windows and screaming, and honking their horns letting everyone know that they took state!!
All in all, I don't think too many people mind, we are just used to it. It didn't even wake any of my kids!!

Congratualtions Coach Stuart and her volleyball team!!!

Good luck Coach Brown, we hope to be awoken again when you take state football!!
