Happy Birthday Olivia!

Olivia celebrated her birthday with her friends on the 18th.

THE FOOD TABLE

THE CANDY BAR

THE TREAT BAGS

The treat bags were filled with necklaces and bracelets that glow in the dark. Each guest also put candy from the candy bar in their bag. We played a few games and handed out a bunch of glow in the dark prizes. We sang "Happy Birthday" and opened presents.

After everyone got a turn with the photo booth, they headed down to the basement. We set-up a few black lights, glowing stars and white paint. Liv made a playlist of her favorite songs and they danced the night away!

On Liv's real birthday, we celebrated by skipping school and going to see the new Twilight movie. We also had dinner from the Olive Garden with my family. She had another party with John's family a few days later, geesh! Such a spoiled brat...

Now the decorations are down and the pumpkins in the dumpster. Olivia is already counting down the days until her birthday. The kids still have a few weeks off-track. The weather is getting colder and colder everyday. Before we know it Christmas will be here!

Working On The Fall BUcket List

Today was our first official day of being off-track, so we decided to start on our Fall Bucket List. We went to Gardner Village to visit with the witches. And of course I remembered my camera, I just forget to charge the battery. These are all taken with a camera phone, DOH!

One thing I should have put on the list was to attend a soccer game. We have been attending lots of those...

John had a HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY and of course we celebrated with family. Family Party, check.

I really wanted to take the kids apple picking, but apparently it's to late in the season for that. :( We've also been reading every scary story we can get our hands on, and we've been watching a ton of scary movies. We also went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner! PIE, CHEESECAKE, same thing...

Liv-The Drama Queen

Liv is really smart. She loves going to school and hanging out with her friends. She is really excited about learning to play the Recorder this year. She is a huge "Smarty Pants" and has a come-back to everything I say. She helps me out a ton with the two little ones, who both admire everything about her. She tells really, really, really long stories (sometimes I have to remind myself to be patient.) She acts every detail out and changes her voice for the different characters in her story. She has a talent for getting anyone around her all hyped and rawled up. The house is usually quiet until Liv arrives. She is such a "Drama Queen." She spends most of her time making the two little ones re-enact a movie that they just watched. I think she is going to be a Movie Director or a Teacher when she grows up.

DayDay aka Prince Charming

Damon is a real sweetheart. We call him DayDay for short. He is a very sensitive guy and is tuned into everyone's feelings. He tries very hard not to hurt anyone and really wants everyone around him to be happy. He loves to cuddle and gives the best "Bear Hugs." He's already embrassed to hold my hand or kiss me in public. He doesn't love going to school but is really good at it and tested above grade level. He is a "home-body," crowds and a lot of noise over-whelm him. He loves wearing soft clothes and would stay in his jammies all day if I let him. He can memorize a movie after watching it just once. He quotes lines from movies and even uses them in the right context. He is always making us laugh and is quite "The Charmer."

The King & Queen

I have been a stay-at-home Mom for almost 10 years. I love being a wife and a mom. I am very blessed to be able to stay at home. I really, really, really love my life and my home! The kids are amazing and being able to watch them grow is so much fun. They change everyday. I love making crafts and cards. Photography is a hobby that I am still learning and I spend a lot of my time reading and learning new techniques as well as learning Photoshop. I should say that I spend most of the time trying to figure out my damn camera!!!

John is a brillant man. He is self-employed and has many talents. Taking out the trash is not one of them, but I love him anyway. John enjoys watching sports and plays football whenever he gets a chance. He is an amazing dancer and is always the center of attention at a party. His son is his protege.

Chloe-Puppy Royalty

Chloe is the puppy Santa Claus brought for the kids this past Christmas. She is an Imperial Shih-Tzu. She was abandoned by her mother and then was raised by a Persian Cat. When she first came home she even meowed. Now days she spends most of her days "cat napping" and sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. She is very playful and hates to be left alone. Her hobbies include hanging out the window of a moving vehicle and playing with her boyfriend-Mugsy. She is spoiled beyond belief and acts like "Royalty."
