What a party!

Each night before the boys go to bed, Ben reads a chapter from the series Fablehaven. They are on book 2 and the boys love it. They get pretty disappointed on the nights that Ben is at meetings and they are unable to find out what will happen next. I just love to see the boys excited about books and I love it even more when Ben reads- if only I could get him to read twilight! (Ben if you read this - be a man - like Mark;), and read THEM!) So a few weeks ago I found out about the book #4 launch party in Salt Lake and the boys have not stopped reminding me when it all takes place. Well yesterday was the day-book 4 was released. Which I so nicely picked up (originally for Ethans birthday) while on my errands at walmart and the launch party and book signing were later that night. The boys were so excited. While Ben and Owen went to a young mens activity(which he ended not having to go -Ben was sad to miss the fun!), the rest of us headed to the party with book 4 in tow. We grabbed dinner at the mcdonalds drive thru and made it just in time. What a fun and -free!- activity. They had people dressed up as characters from the book, and t shirts, books, and fairy dressups for sale. They had singing and comedy, and the kids really liked when they threw glow sticks out to the crowd. It was lots of fun. We found out book 5 comes out next year and possibly a movie and a sequel to the candy shop wars -Ethan was excited about that. The only bummer was that we didn't get our books signed (I bought #3 while at the party) because it was a little unorganized and way crowded so they boys will head to costco on saturday where Brandon Mull is doing a signing-Thank goodness or the boys would have never agreed to leave last night. Icecream on the way home and in bed by 9:30 and I'm pretty sure I was asleep on the couch by 10- Luckily work was slow the night before or we would have never made it to the party. All in all a fun night and we look forward to next years launch party.

I guess blowing on the knot frees her? I'm not sure I need to start reading the series.
