uh oh...

We went to the annual trunk-or-treat at John's work this weekend and guess who discovered the beauty of (her own) candy??

Yes, that is a sucker in her mouth and a box of candy in her hand.

I think we'll cut her off after 3 houses on Halloween.

Pay it forward...

Look what I got in the mail!!!!!

Isn't this picture frame so cute??

I love, love, LOVE it!!

My friend, Kelley had a "Pay it Forward" tag on her blog and I was one of the lucky winners!!!

So friends...

guess what's next??

It's my turn to pay it forward!

The first three commenter's will get a little treat from me in the mail!

You know you want it.

I don't even know what "it" is...but, you'll want it. I promise.

dad's work...

We LOVE to visit Dad at work.

Dad has multiple computers to play on...

White boards to draw on...

An aquarium full of fish (Dorie & Nemo to be exact)...

A cafeteria that is more like a great restaurant...

Tokens for the vending machine...

Unlimited amounts of cold cereal...

What's not to love???


Staff Meeting

The cutest Administrative Assistant EVER (no offense, Malia!!)
Just another disgruntled employee...

Making BIG decisions (like what to have for lunch)

LUNCH!!

Pink Lemonade!!

And stuff you NEVER get to have for lunch at home. This is Zach's food...he was in nacho heaven!

Think they'll like dad's work as much next week when we go there for flu shots???

We'll just offer nacho & pink lemonade chasers.

the spawn of John...

Give 'em dads baseball hat and glasses and guess what???

They look just like him...

catching up...

Sam got his very own library card.

BIG day!!

I got this on my pillow!!

(from my new favorite...SAM!)

We all got a visit from Diane!

The weekend is over. The kids are back in school after "Fall Break" (whatever...glamorized name for the stupid deer hunt. Two days of school off. Stupid, stupid deer hunt.) I mean, we had a fabulous weekend full of togetherness and love. The house guest has gone home. Party's over...(hee hee!)

friday fashion foto...

Auntie Di is visiting. Lizzie likes to wear her jewelry.

ALL of her jewelry.

I {heart} this boy...

You know those moments (however brief) when you have a kid that just "gets it"?

They "get" how things work.

They are polite, sensitive, obedient, trustworthy...

Meet the current favorite.

(Did I just say that? Why, yes I did.)

Zach

This kid gets it. He is awesome.

(And I don't just say that because he is extremely complimentary...but not in an Eddie Haskell kind of way)

I love him!!
