It's finally hoodie weather!!!!....

Hooray! It's FINALLY cooled down! Our buddies in NY/NJ are getting snow and we have been wanting some of that cooler weather to make it's way south and today was the first hint of cooler weather this fall. It barely made it up to 70 degrees and was SUCH a nice change from our almost 90 degree weather we had just a few days ago. Mom found this dinosaur hoodie she got me last year at the Crazy 8 store in Jersey for $3.98! ROAR!!!

Some of my favorite phrases right now are questions. One of the two that I say constantly throughout the day are "Where?"

Typical conversation:

Me: We are going to the grocery store.

Luke: WHERE?

Me: the Bruno's up the street.

Luke: WHERE?

Me: the one on old shell road.

Luke: WHERE mommy?

Me: Let's get in the car and I'll show you!

Luke: OK mommy!

The other question I love to ask is "What r u doin'?" I will ask this to anyone or anything! I love to ask Mommy, Mimi, or Daddy and I especially like to ask this question to the check out people when we are out shopping. This is also one of the first questions I will ask you if I talk to you on the phone. I will also as this question to inanimate objects. For example:

Luke: Hello Bear Bear! What r u doin'? or Hi Big Bird! What r u doin'? and Mommy's personal favorite was from tonight... We were sitting in the drive up line at the oh so healthy McDonald's and Luke yelled out "M" and sure enough there was the McDonald's arches on a post out side of the restaurant and Luke looked right at it and said "Hello M! What r u doin'? It had Mommy and Daddy cracking up!

This is my "Say Cheese" face. Happy weekend everyone!

What's old is new again.....

Today Mimi and Mommy went "shopping" in Mimi and Doc's attic and found all sorts of toys that Uncle Paddy used to play with when he was a little boy. One of my favorites was this Little Tykes race car track! This is one of the reasons that I love that Mimi saves EVERY thing! It does have its perks....check out my "old-new" toy.

Has Halloween come early?!?!....

This has got to be one of the weirdest phenomenon's I have ever seen. A few days ago, my grandmother Betty sent an e-mail saying to try standing our broom sticks up. I tried to stand the little black one up and it worked. I looked at our other two and thought NO WAY will the others do it b/c one has frayed straw bristles that are uneven and the other one's bristles are too flimsy, so why even try? Well, lo and behold, as you can see even THOSE two stood straight up.

Try it out at your houses and let me know if it works! Is this some weird planetary alignment, a spooky Halloween ghost, or have brooms always had this ability, and we are only just now finding out about it?

Some things NEVER change....

The above picture is me eating prunes in Feb. of 2008 and the below picture is me eating chocolate pudding today! Mmmm....I LOVE making messes! At least now, I can clean up my own face :)

Halloween Mini-book

I saw this idea on one of the many scrapbooking blogs I surf and decided to re-create it with my own twist! It was so easy and fun to create and it is something I will add to each year!

6th anniversary.... blowout or bust?

Answer: Big fat BUST! Happy 6th anny to the best, sweetest, perfect for me husband in the entire world. So instead of living it up and going out to dinner what did we end up doing instead of the above picture taken earlier in the week?...

Jeremy did a lot of this: sleeping and resting because he has the SWINE FLU! Two weeks ago Luke had it, last week Doc had it and now Jeremy AND aunt Liz have it. I am hoping and praying that I am somehow naturally immune to it! And here's to hopefully getting to celebrate our anny NEXT weekend!

Fun times Friday!!!

Check this out.......

Mimi got me the coolest "happy" yesterday and gave it to me today (after Daddy gave it a good cleaning and tightened up all the screws). She just happened to be passing by a consignment shop and she found this!!!....

A TRAIN table!!! Since I love my trains so much AND I have so much track that it no longer fits on the coffee table.... she got me this. The Thomas the Train table we have been looking at on- line was over $400 and she got this one for only $36!!! It is just my height, it fits my train just perfectly, and it even has a huge drawer for all my other stuff!

I love when ANYone will play trains with me. I will tell you to "sit down!" and "play."

I also had my very first ride in a convertible tonight! I thought it was the GREATEST thing and the whole ride I kept saying "fun! fun!" I also kept holding my hand up and saying "feel it!" (in regards to feeling the wind whip by.) It was so much fun and I can't wait to take another ride. Thanks Doc and Mimi for a F-U-N Friday!!!
