Halloween…

We had a wonderful Halloween.   Every year, the first place we trick or treat is my dad’s house.  Then we go next door to my in-laws house..then the real trick or treating can start!  Of course, I made River pose for many photos before she could start to trick or treat.  She wasn’t happy about this…….but finally she started doing some “fairy” poses….there was a large puddle of mud and I told her to be careful…but as she twirled…she got a little excited…and, of course, twirled into the mud and fell….after only going to two houses!!  But, she was a trooper, and continued on trick or treating!!

Embrace the Camera…..

So Tuesday took some photos of us..then Quinn took some photos of us..then River took some photos of us…..I figured there would be at least a couple of good ones…..Not too long from now…and this won’t be “all” my children……about two more weeks……(wow!)

Happy Thursday and go embrace the camera…….

Ramune Soda…..

Finally, I got around to having Tuesday and Quinn try some Ramune soda…..I’ve been wanting them to try it forever….and Christopher found it in Chinatown in Philly.  So, this afternoon……I broke them out.

I had to go on YouTube and look at a couple of videos to see how you open them….it was a lot of fun.  River wanted to try some soda for the first time…..umm..she didn’t like it!

Fourth of July……

I got a new phone over the weekend…..a Samsung Epic 4G….and it has a great little camera on it..  Over the weekend, instead of using my regular camera, I decided I would just use my phone camera.  I love how some of the photos turned out.  We had a great Fourth of July weekend..filled with fireworks and parades…

There is nothing like the look on a child’s face while they are watching fireworks..priceless…..

End of Go Dog Go Murals……

Well….we are slowly trying to get ready for these new little babies….only 8 weeks to go!  One of the first steps is to move my daughter, Tuesday, into River’s old room.  River had the smallest room and Tuesday had the biggest room.  River’s new room will now also be the babies’ room.  And the first thing that had to be done was painting.  Tuesday did not want a pink room and she didn’t want the Go Dog Go murals in her room!!  I was very sad.  I knew they would have to go some day…but I didn’t think it would be so soon!!

The primer went on first….over the murals!!  While Tuesday video taped the sad event..I set up the camera and put River in charge of taking the photos….Please ignore my large belly and butt in all these photos…I was in my painting clothes…and they hardly fit!!  It was very sad to see the murals go……

Maggie got married…..

My oldest niece got married this past weekend…..the wedding was down in Cape May, NJ…..it was beautiful…just like the couple.  It has been so wonderful watching my niece grow and become the gracious and loving person that she is today!  I wish her and her new husband all the blessings the world has to offer…
