A Bad Combination..........







This afternoon Miss Priss walked outside to see if one of our bunnies (the one that always manages to find a way out of our yard no matters how much chicken wire we put under the fence) had returned home. (luckily, she always comes home) Instead of our sweet furry rabbit this Hawk is what she found sitting on our fence. Luckily, he had not had our bunny for dinner (we found her later hiding out underneath Soccer Girl's car. (Yes, I know such a safe place for a bunny right?)
We quickly caught her and then brought both of our sweet bunnies into our screen porch for protection. While the bunnies have made a safe little burrow under our shed it makes me nervous to think that this Hawk might still catch them. So while he was beautiful and seemed to like to have his picture taken. I hope he moves on soon so we can put our bunnies back into the back yard that they so love........

Thanksgiving Weekend.......


























Thanksgiving was a wonderful day spent with family. Unfortunately, I didn't get that many pictures. We did get our annual "Englishman and I in front of our kitchen" our completed kitchen I might add. Yay!!! I also got a picture of Miss Priss in front of our fire pit that we recently bought. (The girls have been enjoying it like crazy, roasting marshmallows and making smores.) We have been having a wonderful week and weekend. Our weather has been gorgeous. We are heading to a B-day party today in the park for our neighbor boy. Should be a great day. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoys the rest of the weekend.

A Rare Occurrence

As of this moment:

November 18, 2009 @ 8:06 PM

There is NO, let me repeat that NO dirty laundry in our house. No over flowing baskets. No dirty socks hidden behind a door. No balled up softball uniforms shoved under the bed. As of this moment all the laundry is DONE, DONE, DONE. For about 15 more minutes because then my daughters will be getting in the shower. Quick let me finish this post so I can enjoy 15 minutes of NO LAUNDRY waiting to be washed by ME!!!!!!!!

Random Thoughts

1. My BIL Steve installed our back splash today in our kitchen and it looks so good. I can't wait for the kitchen reface to be done....

2. Watched Soccer Girls soccer game last night in the pouring rain and was quickly reminded why I was never into sports as a teenager.... LOL

3. I am totally in love with my niece Hannah. She is at the utterly adorable age and the best part is she really loves me. I know this because my sister tells me all she talks about is "Suzie, Suzie, Suzie" (oh yes I rock) how cute is that.....

4. Alex (the little boy I babysit) told me today that I make the "best peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ever" It so made my day because you know it's all about the little things....

5. I recently bought a Bissel Steam Mop and I love it. It makes cleaning my ceramic tile floors so easy. This is really good because I used to let my floors go WAY to long in between cleanings. Not anymore this mop almost makes it fun, almost....

6. I only have 7 more work days until I get a week off. I love babysitting for school teachers.

7. Freddie the Fall Festival fish is doing great. He is the funniest goldfish I have ever seen. He has the cutest personality. Mighty Mouth can put her finger in the bowl and he comes up and kisses tries to eat her finger. It's so funny....

8. I love the new show V. I remember 20 years ago when it came out it was one of my favorite shows and now it's back. I wish they would re-make Love Boat and Fantasy Island.

Whew is it Monday already?

I can't believe another weekend has just flown by. What a nice weekend we had. Friday was quiet for a change. I sent my middle daughter off to Orlando for a birthday party weekend at Fort Wilderness and MGM for her friends 13Th birthday. The friend's Grandmother took five girls for the weekend, wasn't that awesome insane. She had a wonderful time. Soccer Girl had her Homecoming football game Friday night so it was just the Englishman and I and Mighty Mouth so we watched the movie "Changeling" with Angelina Jolie. It was really good but a little to scary for Mighty Mouth. (guess who was in our bed Friday night) Saturday the Englishman and I got up early and went to this local event called the "Saturday morning Market" where vendors are set up and there is entertainment and crafts and all kinds of neat things. We had a coffee and shared a Jewish breakfast knish (it was really good) the morning was cool and the market takes place down by the water so it was beautiful. We joked and said this was how it is going to be when the kids are grown. Just the two of us for coffee down by the water. Saturday night was Soccer Girl's Homecoming dance. We had about 35 kids here before hand for snacks and pictures. It was a lot of fun. Everyone looked wonderful. Sunday was spent working on the cupboards again. I can't wait until this kitchen reface is done (we are hoping for Thanksgiving) it is going to look so nice. This reface is way overdue so I am really anxious to see it all finished. Sunday night we watched the movie "Australia" it also was really good. I guess you could say it was a movie weekend. LOL This week will be busy with soccer and softball games and my Aunt and Uncle are visiting from up north so we will hopefully get together with them this week too. Hope everyone has a great week..........

Halloween Pictures.....



These two pictures are my favorite of the night. Even at 22 months my niece knows to take the candy and put it in her Halloween Bucket.







How cute is she our "Little Bo Peep".





















After a few last minute costume changes here are the girls. Two silly Trolls and an almost Lady Bug.....
Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween..........
