Ten Things to Smile About




What made me smile in October?  Welll......

1.  A triple birthday bash
 It was Ryan, Lucas--Emmy Mom's son--and her MIL(who just happens to be my aunt!)  It was awesome!


2.  Getting to spend the day with my BFF!

Kristin as Elf #2
3.  A really cool play...I got to enjoy the amazing production of The Hobbit twice this month.  The teacher was sneaky and smart to put that play on BEFORE the release of the movie.

4.  A haircut for me...I really chopped it off this time! 

5.  Halloween fun...we did Trunk or Treat and Trick or Treat.  Collectively my kids have eight pounds of candy.  I think I should get a cut.


6.  A wild Rumpus...The first grade did a dramatic reading of Where The Wild Things Are and got dressed up in their "costumes."

7.  Comedy on Pandora...I laugh like a maniac on the road now.  I look like fruitcake, but hey I'm laughing.

8.  Being featured on Shell's blog---seriously made my week!


9.  Holding a sleeping baby.  I got him to sleep, and then we laid down together.  He's a sweetie.

10.  A good dental check up for me.  Always makes me smile!

Did we see haircut pictures already? Did I miss it?

You should def get a cut of Halloween loot. Lucky for me, Punky has a gambling problem.

How cool that you're besties with Emily. I bet you two always have a great time together.

There is nothing better than holding a sleeping baby. I'm a total sucker.

Love that sleeping baby . . . so sweet. I heard of someone else that did Trunk or Treat. Is that where eight pounds of candy comes from?!?!? WOW

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

Image
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. Why do they give such ch
