Still not Thawed

Guess where I went????

Hint: With LOTS of "friends", say like 40,000



Have you guessed? I went to the Phillies World Series game with my husband last night!! It was CRAZY there. My husband is a HUGE Philly sports fan, and when I say HUGE, I mean there probably isn't anyone alive who is as big of a Philly sports fan as he. He has tickets to everything!!

Anyway, he couldn't have been more excited that the Phillies are in the World Series. Not only might they win another penant (he was at the 1980 series as well!!) but this year he got to take his son, his uncle, his dad, and of course me. We didn't all go to the same game but I am certain each of us had a Great time!! Now if you didn't watch the game last night, it was not your typical cool night at the ballpark. It was 42 degrees and POURING!! So not fun when you are in seats NOT under cover!! Fortunately, we both semi-planned for it so it wasn't so bad...and being a diehard fan, we stayed at our seats watching until they put the tarp on the field.

In the end, they ended up postponing the rest of the game until tomorrow night. I'm not sure if I will go back for the game or if someone else will go in my place but it was well worth the frozen fingers and drenched clothes!!

GO PHILLIES!!

Call Me Jack...

as in Jack-O-Lantern. That is what the kids decided to name the pumpkin we carved this weekend. Nice and original, right? It does make me laugh when they put one and one together and think they are the first to ever come up with the idea. A pumpkin named "Jack", who would have thought? LOL.

I had my son a pen and paper and told him and the girls to go draw Jack's face. The rules as I stated in a previous post are that they must agree on all parts of it. Unfortunately, I am not much of an artist so they also have to stick with squares, circles, and triangles. After much debate the kids decided on this ----



We had a great time digging the guts out and getting all messy!!

My Little Monkeys

I haven't had a lot of time to scrap...nor have I felt very inspired. However, I did sit down last night and crank out a few pages. The first are pixs of my girls watching their bro's baseball game this summer. They just loved climbing the fence and pretending to be monkeys.



This next one, I'm not too sure about. I tried something different -- not sure I love it though. "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the prettiest of all?" I feel like it is missing something...Come on girls, I really want your feedback here.

Weekend Whirlwind Part II:

Sunday -- Hannah's 5th Birthday Party

We took our oldest daughter and 6 of her friends to a beauty parlor/dress up place. It was too cute!! However, I don't think Bella-the-Ball has ever seen anything like the tornado we brought in! The girls took one look at the dressing room and went crazy!! We had girls fighting over shoes like it was the annual sale at Filenes. After a few compromises and at least 3 wardrobe changes for each of them, they all decided on their outfits and were off for make-up, hair, and nails. I can honestly say that I have never seen the girls have so much fun. They even got to walk the red carpet at the end....with me snapping pictures as they stuck a pose....what great shots for scrapping later!! ]

Without boring you with the other two hundred shots, here is a cute one of the group. Mine are the two in the front (the rock star and the littlest princess)...
