1.  Spending time with my BFF
2.  Watching little ones get "chip-faced"

3.  Celebrating my mom's birthday with family
4.  School starting...bittersweet...my babies are not babies anymore!
5.  Finding out about this great new app:  Instagram!  I am having fun with it.
6.  Having this for lunch....
 7.  Chocolate chip cookies!!!
What?  I like food!

8.  Losing a pound despite those chocolate chip cookies!!

9.  Surviving the mess that surrounded Emily's registration

10.  And the best for last....


Welcoming this guy to the world and the family!  He is almost a month old now!!!  Hard to believe.

great list! What's on that sandwhich? I'm too lazy to get up and make lunch for myself....I need inspiration!

Nothing compares to hanging out with the best friend...or a brand new baby.

Thanks for sharing!

So cute! Forgive me for not being around, I was intimidated by my 1,000 plus blogs in my google reader. I finally decided I am just going to pick up from here, and pretend I didn't miss any. Okay? Just go along with me.
I think the "chip faced" is my favorite. Seriously. Adorable. :)

Is chip faced like chocolate wasted? :) HA HA! Such sweet kids in your post. Even those great big kids that you call your babies. Crazy how fast they get that way, isn't it? Great memories for the month!

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
