I Resign

I was just told that my kids wanted a new mommy. "A new mommy who is nicer." Opps!!! All this, b/c I told them they couldn't hit eachother. Today, I would gladly resign from my duties as their mommy!!

Umm...

Saw this while driving down the road yesterday. A bit tacky, or not? I'll let you be the judge!!

The "Pinky" Series

I pass this barn everyday, and everyday it catches my eye. It's not everyday that you see a PINK barn. I've always wanted to take the kids pictures by it, just b/c it is so unique. I finally suckered one of them into it. And by the end, she knew she had become a sucker!! Thys would only let me take his picture, if the barn turned blue---sorry, mommy is awesome, but not magical. Hence, no pictures of Thys. Tessa made a few camio appearances, but pink must not be her thing either. Enjoy!! (by the way, Elli was in school. I did not lose a child--although at times it sounds good.) See more here.

My 21st Century Hussy

We found Tessa in the garage wearing her high heels listening to our IPOD. And of course, blankie in hand!

Moms Gone Wild In NYC

This past weekend, "The Girls" (consisting of 8 wonderful, awesome, rad, lovely, beautiful friends from high school), ventured out to The Big Apple. We went to visit our lovely tour guide Dana, who moved there over a year ago. Eight moms leaving behind 20 kids and 3 on the way. A wonderful way to have a girls weekend!! Here are a few pics from the trip.
Overlooking the city.
Riding the Statton Island Ferry to view the Statue Of Liberty.

Shopping the streets of NYC.
My FAVORITE store!!!
On the set of The Today Show.
Lester, from The Today Show, strutting his stuff.
A night in Time Square.

Ground Zero. A bit overwhelming to see a large area of NYC empty--you just don't see that here. Sad, yet exciting to see that they have already begun the rebuilding.
Lady Liberty

Our wonderful tour guide, Dana.

And now, for the game!!! I have numbers on the pic from 1992. Match the numbers of the first pic with the letters of the second. See if you can get it correct. Click on picture to enlarge if you must. (all those present, are exempt from the game--lol). I think we have all aged well ladies. Wonderful transformation since '92. We don't look a day over 21!!!!

Thanks for the awesome memories!!!

The Year Was 1992!

Just a picture to take you ladies back to 1992. Study it hard. The transformation to come soon!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Last night we took the kids to a corn maze/pumpkin patch/petting zoo. We took a hay ride to the the corn maze, and we all followed Elli through the maze, who let us the right way almost everytime. The end of the maze led us out to a pumpkin patch, where we all got to pick out our own size pumpkins. After a LONG decision making process, everyone finally picked the one they wanted. We then took the hay ride back to the barn where we got to pet a whole load of farm animals and feed them some carrots. It definately felt like fall!!!

We Have The Best Daddy!!

Humoring Mommy

I've Been Tagged

I have been tagged by Dana The rules are that you need to tell something about yourself with every letter of your middle name. I am in luck--I have a short middle name. Ann. The same middle name that probably 1 million other girls have who were born in the 70's, and it is also my mom's middle name--I did not carry on the tradition. Not because I didn't like it, but I felt it has been way overused. Anyways, here it goes.

A---I woke up 4 times last night with an ant crawling on my arms. I KNOW I wasn't dreaming. It was real, and it creeped me out!!

N--I have ALWAYS dreamed of being a nurse. I have wanted to be one for as long as I can remember. The sad thing is, I have never become one. After high school, I was scared of the chemistry, and then I fell in love and the rest is history. I will--mark my words, and hold me to it--go back to school and become one someday.

N--My favorite author is Nicholas Sparks. If you have not read any of his books, you must start with "The Notebook". I know it was made into a movie, but it just does not do the book justice. I have read this book no less than 5 times and each time I cry like a baby. If you need a good tear-jerker/romance, it is a must.

The next rule of the game, is to tag as many people as there are letters in your name. So, I tag: Stacy, Beca,, and Sara. Have fun girls.

I will leave you with my 3 most beautiful soccer players, and 1 wannabee.

Anticipation

Countdown--7 more days---something you will NOT want to miss---something I want all of you fellow bloggers to try in the year 2007/2008---something I will definitely stay home for---something I am giddy about---something the kids will be in bed early that night for---everyone in suspense??? Yes, it is the season premier of The Office. Don't miss it!! If you haven't watched it, try it!! Hysterical. And Jenny, the first 4 episodes are all an hour long!!

Simple Pleasures!!

Elli came home from school today, and thought she had won the lottery!!----she got to keep the comb that the photographer at school gave them before their school pictures. She is elated. Oh, the simple pleasures in life.

My Baby

"Mommy, please, no more more pictures!!"

We Are Family

I took some pictures of my brother and his family today. My niece is too funny. You tell her to smile, she frowns, sit--she stands, stop--she runs. She wanted no part in being a part of her family tonight. She was way too busy making faces at me. Too cute!! I know, I am a little bias.

First Day Of School--Round 2

Thys and Josie started preschool today. They loved it!! I felt a little odd not having them around the house to "bug" me. The pigtails never even made it through the front door of school, but they were cute while they lasted--and Thys is just a little preschool stud!!

Welcome Drew Granderson

I got to take a few pictures of our dear friends, Lonny and Laura, and their new little bambino. So tiny and cute!! (This one's for you Lonny!!!)
