To blog about..

Have you ever wanted to do something just so you can blog about it?

Well, last week(ish) I got nordstrom's tickets to see the pre-pre-release screening (meaning, 9:30 pm instead of midnight) for Twilight.

I totally don't love Twilight, but I totally wanted to go SO that I could blog about it. When it wasn't working out to go with people around here, I even went so far as to try to coax my friend Jen into flying out here to go with me to the premiere.

Now THAT would be something to blog about! Two girls who don't love twilight meet up from different cities just to attend a pre-release party that they don't care about so they can get a few pictures and post about a 'once-in-a-lifetime experience'.

Seriously.

So, instead of being a part of that whole mess, we opted to sell the tickets and NOT go ourselves. And tonight, as I was going about my night, I just kept thinking what a great choice that was. There are always other things to blog about!

--Number one being this picture. Ahhhhh look at that kid!

--Ryan had a rough getting-to-sleep night. Poor kid's gums hurt, I'm sure of it. He needed some mama and papa loves and some snuggle time and some comfort food before he could get down to sleep. He needed this mama (aka this mama needed to be there for it). I'm glad I was home with my baby boy instead of fighting crowds of tweens screaming over sparkling bodies.

(SIDENOTE: Ryan learned how to pull himself up to standing this week, and he keeps standing up in bed and then crying because he can't sit back down...any advice about that people? What do you do when your kiddie is 'cryin' it out' but can't sit back down once they've stood up in bed?)

--Seth is back to Funemployment since his contract ended today. Um. Okay that wasn't a reason to stay home, but since seth said funemployment on his facebook status i've wanted to say it again...because it's funny.

--I've just been thinking a lot about TIME at home. Time together with our FAMILY. Time spent on the important things. Time to remember and cherish. I like my little family.

--I like when ryan's not sleeping and 'dad's' in there with him to "help him sleep" how mostly I hear 'dad' making sound effects and entertaining the little one to not-sleep. Those boys are hilarious. This is Ryan's latest toy from dad:


NOTE: Twihards, don't be sad at me for this post! I will live vicariously through your posts about your midnight showings. And I'll be SOOOO excited for you and will be glad to hear all about it. Don't think I'm dissing Twilight...I think for most EVERYONE else it's the best place to be--a getaway, a girls night, a FUN outing and adventure, a memory, etc...and I'm super duper excited and glad y'all got to go!
