Once Bitten

I think one of the reasons that I had kids at such a young age was because I wanted a valid excuse to go see Disney cartoons when they came out in theaters. You know, so I wouldn't look like the biggest dork ever just sitting there by myself. No matter that Alli was only a week old when I took her to see Pocahontas. She totally loved it ;-)

So now, tonight, it was great to have the girls with me when we went to see Twilight. And there was nothing better than seeing that movie with a few screaming adolescents! And of course with her and her!

I will be the first to say that I was afraid, very afraid that they were going to butcher this movie. Especially since the last few books-to-movies that I have seen have all been disappointing. And since I thought they had the casting all wrong from the get go. But, and now brace yourselves people, cause I never, ever say this, I was wrong! The movie was great! And that's all I'm gonna say about that because I'm not a critic and you should totally just go see it.

And Alli is still hyper-ventilating. And shaking. And saying We have to go back and see it again. She is crazy obsessed. But not as obsessed as the lady who took the life-size cardboard cutout of our favorite bloodsucker to the movies as her date. But of course we were crazy enough to chase her down for a photo op:




And yes, I did push Abby out of the way to get closer to him. Cause I'm the mom and I can do things like that. I totally play the birth card, every chance I get.

So can you guess what Alli is asking for from Santa ;-) Good, because he had no idea what to get her!
