The Launch

It's been a long time since I've had time to blog. Between working full time, school full time, being a mom and now because apperentally I didn't think that was enough Leighton is now doing baseball which requires 3 days of practice plus games and Xia is doing soccer oh and I teach the 5 year olds in primary. However I am going to blog today instead of do homework becasue last night the kids and i got to go to a launch party for our favorite author. We have been lucky enough to go to the last 2 launch parties for Brandon Mulls Fablehaven series and loved both of those. The kids both got shirts and autographs from these parties so when I heard that there was going to be a launch party for his new series "The Beyonders" I was stocked. After I picked up Xia from school we set off. The kids both enjoyed it and got to see many of their favorite characters from the "Fablehaven" series. We also got some cute photos with the characters. Afterwards the kids got to have their shirts and book signed by Brandon Mull. When Xia got up to him she said to him "you write good! I like your books" to this Brandon Mull just smiled and said thanks. I hope that they can remember these launch parties and remember how much they enjoyed them as well as the books. If that is the case then it is well worth the time.
