Vampires

It all started when my friend suggested I read a book her middle school students were immersed in, "Twilight." She said it was awesome, and, being a teacher, I was interested. This was before the hype had really hit. Twilight Moms and Team Jacob/Edward weren't phrases many people knew. I finally got around to reading the book when I had the summer off, and I was happy to have a new book to take to the pool. At first, I remember thinking it was cheesy, but then, I was, well, obsessed. I grabbed a copy of the second book and didn't stop reading. I'm proud to say I attended the book release party at Barnes and Noble for the fourth book. Since then, I've lent the books to many friends and co-workers. So, when the movies came out, of course I was excited. I didn't have high expectations, which turned out to be a good thing. It was still fun to participate in the hype that surrounded them. So, for "New Moon" my friends and I had a vampire themed party. Of course I had to put some of the skills from my new hobby to use. Below you will see the Team Jacob and Team Edward cupcakes I made. It was no competition-Team Jacob, for sure.
