Sick Week

This week my house has been full of nothing but sick. The kids have been sick. The parents have been sick. I don't think the dogs are even feeling all that well.

The one interesting thing that happened was that I won a giveaway! Nikki from The Salty Pineapple was having a giveaway for a party paper set and I won! I have never won anything! Here is a picture of my winnings.



I would love to have a giveaway on my blog, but I'm not sure how to go about it. If anyone can help guide me through it. I would appreciate it.

Happy birthday to me!!!!

Today is my birthday.

I don't normally love my birthday, but this year I am. I'm not sure what is different this year, but I have been that obnoxious girl who tells everyone who passes by that today is my birthday. This year I am loving it!

On Saturday J had a football game to cheer for.



That night our friends came over to celebrate, well....... me!





On Sunday, I went to lunch with my mom & my sister. We had a great time! Her birthday was a few weeks before mine and we celebrated with mom together. I LOVE Olive Garden. Sorry no pictures to post.

My other sister was out of town and couldn't come.

Today at work I walked in to find that my boss had made me a wonderful chocolate mousse. It has been a great birthday!

Halloween 2010

This year was busy! With Halloween being on Sunday it left for 2 extra days of parties & get togethers. We were loving it!

On Friday the kids had their Halloween parties at school. They loved it! As anyone who knows me understands. I informed the kids that we would not be buying costumed this year. We have tons of costumes from years past and hand me downs that there was no need to buy something new. Here is what they came up with.....


a zombie cheerleader and a zombie football player.

Pretty original, huh?

Big E decided to just wear his football jersey and call it good.

On Saturday Little E had his playoffs and Superbowl. His team won the Superbowl 42-0. We are so proud of him and the whole team. I had to work so there are no pictures. Sorry

Later that evening we went over to my parents house for a Halloween party. We had an awesome time!










On Sunday (the "BIG" day) we went to a local Lion's Club Halloween party. the kids had a great time! There were some carnival games and an old fashioned cake walk.



Afterward we went to Kim and Dave's house and took the kids trick or treating together.



It was another great weekend with great memories.

It Goes so Fast

It has been another busy week for us.

On Thursday Big was playing in the Freshman football game and was hurt (I know, imagine that). He gave us a pretty good scare.




On Friday it was the Homecoming game. Big E didn't play, but we went in support of the team.





On Saturday J helped for Make a Difference Day with her Girl Scout troop. She had the best time and won't stop talking about how she planted a tree.




That evening was the Homecoming dance. Big E already had plans to go to the dance with his date. I was hesitant to let him, but he assured me that he would be careful.




They looked amazing! It is hard to believe he is old enough to go to these kind of things. Where has the time gone?

Little E turns 8

Today little E turns 8. This has gone by so fast! I wish I could freeze time and they would stop getting older. I think that is the main reason I have this blog is so that I can always look back and remember what we were doing when they were young (it certainly isn't for my many readers).




Happy birthday! I am so proud to be your Mom!
