Weekend Halloween Party

Julia had her Halloween party at her dance school this weekend. She had so much fun! I was still fighting my cold so I watched her run, dance, laugh and have a good time with her little friends from the sidelines!

She looked so pretty in her fairy costume. We had technical difficulties with the wings so we took them off practically as soon as we got there. She had on my Mom's tiara from her vow renewal to my Dad. Julia looked like she was going to the prom!

There were some very inventive costumes from the tweens and teens at the party. One girl was dressed as Sarah Palin, with wig, suit and Mccain/Palin sign. She looked like a mini me version of Palin! My other favorite costume was the girl who dressed like Ugly Betty! She had on a blue dress, Mexican poncho, glasses and Ugly Betty name tag! I tried to get some good pictures but I can't download yet because the batteries died on the camera. It's a loaner from my Mom so I'll have my Mom download the pics and send them to me.

Julia's little friends were so cute. One girl was dressed as Supergirl and another as an Indian princess. They looked so adorable! There were plenty of Hannah Montanas and Disney Princesses.

What cracked me up was how the kids were not really dancing until the DJ started playing songs from High School musical. The dance floor got so crowded as soon as the first notes of the first HSM song the DJ played came on! The kids danced to every HSM , Hannah Montana, and Jonas Brothers song that was played.

The older girls from the dance school did a dance to the song Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture song. I really enjoyed watching them! They are so talented!

This is them same girls doing a dance to a song from Hairspray at last year's recital:

My Ugly Betty Personality

I love this show and had to take this personality quiz. I think it pretty much matched me to the right character!

What do you think? Do you like taking these kind of quizzes?



You're talented and accomplished, but life keeps conspiring to keep you and your dreams down. While your waiting for your big chance (the one that someone doesn't take away for once)you're there for all your friends, a shoulder to cry on, a source of invaluable info, good and bad. In other words, the rock that everyone depends on. And of course you always know the best gossip.

The PS3 is NOT a....

My boys get into a lot of mischief. The other day hubby came home to play with his Playstation 3 (he is a huge SOCOM fanatic and just got the new game a few days ago) and when he went to put in his game a very nasty, grating sound came out of the PS3. I cringed because I knew I would get the blame when that horrible sound came out of his beloved machine. And sure enough I did get the blame :( It turns out our little guys thought the PS3 was a piggy bank and they were inserting coins into it!!!

Thankfully we were able to get all the coins out but I had a moment of panic thinking that this $300 piece of gaming system would permanently be a slot machine instead of hubby's diversion. I think we all learned a lesson and now the PS3 is up high were the little hands of my munchkins cannot be tempted to insert various objects into it.

This whole incident reminded me of my sister and how she used to insert her play dishes into my Dad's brand new VCR!!! Slots and babies are not a good mix!!!!
