May the force be with you....

What a busy weekend ..Sat I hosted a Christmas card workshop and we had a blast.. Everyone made 15 cards and a small nugget box.. The nugget box was a hit, but who can resist CANDY!!!. Then Sat night Anthony and I went out to dinner with our good friends the Millers and the Terribiles.. I have never laughed so hard in my life.. Tears were rolling down my eyes.. Since my husband is such a good sport I can post this hilarious comment.. Now many of you know that my husband is not a small man, we were seated in a very small corner of the Chinese restaurant..which is pretty funny but the waiter came over and did not speak English very well.. So he looks at my husband and says we slide tables together you gigantic!! Anthony says I think he called me gigantic? well you had to pick me and Lisa up off the floor because we were laughing so hard.. Now this went on all through dinner if Anthony asked for something the waiter said ok you gigantic.. Now I know that is not what he really meant and we all found it funny.. But honey I love you even if you are gigantic..

On Sunday we went to a halloween party at my sisters house.. what a great time the kids had.. here are a few pictures of my little trick or treaters

Is it really..

80 degrees today??? Now don't get me wrong it is beautiful out, BUT this is October and I was so ready for fall.. We are supposed to be thinking about cooler weather and sweaters.. We should be picking pumpkins and baking bread... I do not like this at all.. Because I know the nice weather will go away and before we know it , we will have snow!!!UGh I don't want to even think about it..


So I will leave you with one of my favorite layouts:

It's hard to believe....

That a year ago we were getting ready to go into the hospital with Paulie for surgery....HE was such a great sport about it.. If he was scared we could not tell.. October was definitely a crazy month for us last year between staying at the hospital and driving back home to spend time with the other kids Anthony and I were very lucky to have great friends and family that helped us through the long weeks.. Paul is doing great and the surgery was a success. He is able to do more things for himself now and I am so proud of how hard he works in school.. He was able to keep up with his work and not get behind.. He has a great spirit and never complains about all the extra work he has because of his therapy..

I just love this picture of him getting on the bus .. He is so happy..
we love you Paulie..

Finally!!!

Well I did it..I took the plunge and started a blog.. Hopefully I can come up with some interesting tidbits for all of you..With 4 little people running around here that should'nt be so hard!! My life is very busy with these guys but I do find the time to stamp and scrapbook and I would like to share my creativity with all of you in the near future.. I am off to get some laundry done before number 1 and number 2 get off the bus!!!
