New Moon

Now I know the pics are a little blurry (thanks to a crappy cell) But yes that is Rob Pattinson and those abs were hard! Like cardboard! OK It is Rob, but he's made of paper. What can I say? A girl can dream can't she? I showed this pic to Jesse and he did a double take. Then he said he knew it was fake, cause I was sitting in the car next to him (jess) and not somewhere else with Rob. Hahaha! I can window shop, but I just won't go in the store.

This is me with my baby sis April Lauren (middle) and cousin Kayla (far left) KayKay was Jane, Snoops (AL) was Alice and I was trying to be Rosalie. You can't tell in this pic but we are all about 4 shades paler than we normally are. All in all it was a blast. We haven't had an outing with all five of us in years. This won't be topped for a while.....at least not until Eclipse comes out!
By the way, in case you were wondering: Sydney and Jesse stayed at Yaya and Pop's house (my parents) and hung out there all day.

Bug's new room

Today I finally finished decorating Sydney's bedroom. As much as she loves Pooh, her room was way too baby-themed. So.....Now it's a fairy garden! I found some old photos online and printed them out, framed them and turned it into a wall collage of fairies. I hung a canopy over her bed and paper lanterns around her room in a sort of border-type fashion. I also put up some new sheer fabric over her black-out curtains to brighten up her room a little bit. And the cherry on top: A fabric dragonfly above her dresser/changing table. Here's the best part about all of this: I didn't pay a cent and I didn't even have to sew a thing.
I got all the fabric for free from Target (they were going to throw away their curtain displays in the dumpster, can you believe that?) I already had the frames, and wind chime. I made the lanterns myself w/ a little tape and some decorative scissors. Even though I'm super handy with the sewing machine I just tied and pinned the fabric into place where I wanted it. I'm very pleased with how it all came together. And Sydney just "ooo"ed and "aaaahh"ed all afternoon.

Pretty canopy over John Deere

Aunt Mindy's frog hamper and Bug's humidifier blend right in

This is the biggest bug in here, at least until Sydney gets bigger!

Ballet w/ a bite!

I have a ballet buddy. Her name is Cathy. She and I have gone to most of the Ballets this season at the Koger Center in Columbia. Some have been better than others (like the Hootie and the Blowfish one complete w/ live band performance!) but so far my favorite is Dracula! Mr. Starrett (Director/choreogrpher) is brilliant! and there are several of the dancers who have become my absolute favorites (Jose and Regina especially) And like I said before this is the Best so far. The music they chose for this show suprised me. There was hard rock, and lasers and smoke. It did get a little gory, but in a funny way (blood doesn't natually squirt that far) All in all at the end of the show, we left raving!

Best Ballet Ever!!!
