And now the first part of my “getting to know me” list:

2. Name: April Hayman

5. What is the most recent movie you’ve seen in the theater? Night at the Museum
6. Eye Color? Blue but it changes depending on my mood. When I’m mad or sad, they’re gray. When I’m crying, my eyes turn bright green.

I think The Night at the Museum was also the last movie I saw. It was better than I had expected. And my eyes also turn bright green when I cry. 😦

I really enjoyed Night At The Museum. did you like it??? Personally, when I first saw the previews for it, I thought it looked pretty cheesy. But it was great!!! It had a great cast, huh?

Nice party! Love what your children call you — I’m sure my mother would like me to call her that, too, but I don’t know that she’d better expect it. ; )
It was nice to learn a little about you — thanks for sharing! Have a fun party!
