Our week looks like this:

Sunday we celebrated Ryan's birthday. We went out for dinner and Ryan ate 32 oz. (that's 2 lbs) of ribs all in one sitting!!!
Shared a Chocolate Zuccotto cake from Maggianos.




Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday--
Enjoyed 3 BEAUTIFUL fall days. Highs in the lower 70's--which for November is near record-breaking! On Tuesday we voted. (Olivia wanted to know if Barack Obama was going to be there!!)
Olivia also got to play outside in a giant leaf pile with her best buddy from preschool.


I can't believe that I still have flowers blooming--so cool!


Thursday--
Being lazy. It's suppose to rain today. So a good excuse to stay inside, watch cartoons and eat a ton of candy. Yes--this is Olivia's breakfast. She did, thankfully, eat her Cheerios before consuming the mass quantities of sugar. (I counted at least 7 candy wrappers)

So what did you have for breakfast?????

Another birthday and some sweet valentines!

First, a Happy Birthday to my brother!
Such a good daddy, brother, uncle, son & husband. Enjoy your day, little brother!















Sweet Valentine Ornaments
Just some cutesy little ornaments that I made from papier mache ornaments I have had laying around for years. Used Perfect Paper adhesive from ArtQuest to adhere the papers, and then embellished them. I think they turned out rather cute...especially love the one for my dear Grandma (on the right-hand side).

I've been spending entirely too much time on-line looking at all the sneak-peeks for new scrapbooking items from the CHA winter show in California this week. Looking forward to a bunch of the new releases!

TTFN (ta-ta for now)
