truly famous

10.7.08


First, my winning essay was published in the paper. Now, today, my picture (shopping at our big community day/yard sale at our park!) was on our local paper’s front page. What’s next? the Today show? David Letterman?

Autographs available upon request.

Disregard the fact that the paper BUTCHERED our last name. Oh well.

fall family fun

10.7.08




My sister Megan sent my kids a fun package of goodies to make our own candy apples. So, this weekend we delved right in. The kids enjoyed making them more than eating them — they weren’t into the mess of them. Ashlyn did a pretty good job of eating hers, but I think I better call the dentist for an appt after doing it. Her teeth were a big caramel mess!

our weekend away

10.7.08

I am just now uploading pics from our camera onto the computer. So, I thought I’d post some pictures from our weekend in Hershey. It was really nice to get away. And, Grammy (Mark’s mom) was a lifesaver (an extremely brave one) to come stay with the kids so we could have 2 days off!

birthday fun

10.5.08

I have a thoughtful hubby who made today a good day. My little sister Erin and her family were here yesterday and today. Last night, she and I did our biyearly children’s sale, a consignment sale we both sell and buy at that is great for good deals and the thrill of the hunt. This morning, Mark went out and got us all good baked goods, we went to community day at our park and got some more good deals from yard sale tables set up, went back to the children’s sale to collect the stuff we were selling that didn’t sell and to buy discounted stuff, and then finished off the day’s fun with a picnic at the playground with Chinese food and a yummy fruit tart dessert. Odd picnic food but very yummy. Mark gave me several gifts–he did very well. One of them was this really cool book of pictures and info about China. He also gave me an amazing set of sheets (800 thread count so they are nice and soft…can’t wait to sleep in them tonight on our new mattress), a gift certificate for a massage (love that!), AND a ticket to see the So You Think You Can Dance show on tour. My sister got a ticket as well for her birthday (2 days ago). So, we’ll a fun girls night out that night! Gotta run enjoy the rest of my birthday…

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
