i finished brisinger on thursday. i had a really hard time getting absorbed into the book until almost the end. i loved eragon and truly enjoyed eldest. i am disappointed that i can't even say i like this book. i don't dislike it, but except for a few times it did not move me the way the first 2 books did. i really hope the last book revives the pleasure i have felt in reading this series. i actually have tickets to go to a book signing event next monday and i am not even sure i want to go. maybe my expectations are just too high?
if anyone else has read it i'd love to hear your opinion.
in other news, kial's soccer team won their very 1st game in all the years they have been a team. some of the girls have been playing together since 6th grade and now in 8th grade they finally won a game...i bet you can guess how excited they were. and all us parents who've been watching and cheering from the sidelines were pretty dang excited too.
lastly, we had ceb's 16th birthday party (only a month after her birthday) at whirlyball in edmonds. it was so much fun. cebastian, the kids and jason all had a blast. i was worried that 90 minutes of playing time would be too much, but it just sped by in a heart beat, even for those of us just watching. as we left the facility most of the group was planning and plotting their next whirlyball adventure. our next big adventure is ceb going for her driving test tomorrow...wish her luck!

hey g!
i finished the book last night.
i too was disappointed. way too many battle scenes. and it makes it worse that we had to wait SO long for this to come out!
congrats to kial! there must have been some serious celebrating going on!
ceb's party looked like a blast!
lucky her for having a fantastic mom who plans special parties for her sweet girls.

I guess I am the odd girl out, but I liked the book! Maybe it is because I have been so contemplative lately... I liked how it examined what we want to do vs. what we need to do.
Congratulations to Kial - and to you! That is awesome.
And happy belated Birthday to Ceb. That party looks like the funnest thing ever! How did the test go?
Love your scrap pages of course. Happy Birthday Ceb, hope your driving test was fantastic. The party looks fun, I've never been there, but have heard it is a fantastic place to play. Congrats to Kial on her big win, that must have felt fantastic.
