Halloween House

 

Our neighbor has been renamed..Mrs. Halloween!

Halloween 2008

 

Here is our little witch. We are missing a monkey-Maz had a major melt down when we put the monkey costume on her. So, we opted to stay home listen to music, drink a bottle (Maz) and a glass of wine (mommy) and hand out candy.

Friday Nights

Dennis and I were both laughing this morning when we realized we were as excited about having a Friday night Pajama, pizza and popcorn party with the girls as we were about trying a new restaurant. Not to mention the epic viewing of Snow White.

It was a slow process, but we're here.

Seasons are a funny thing

 

I wonder if everyone is affected by the change of seasons. Fall is my MOST favorite season and it brings back so many memories. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving St. Louis the more I am here but there is something very special about the fall season in Minneapolis. Can't quite put my finger on exactly why-you'll just have to trust me on this one. Fall is in the air today and it makes me think of our house, friends, neighbors and Lucia's in Minneapolis. I would give anything to be drinking a big glass of wine looking out the window of Lucia's with friends.

You're a special little place, Ms. Twin Cities.

The 2 year old birthday party

 

The party started at 3:00pm on a beautiful day with family and friends. The party ended dancing to reggae music on Delmar Avenue with family. What could be better?

Happy Birthday lil bug---big kisses!

She wants to be an 'tect' just like her daddy

 

 

The "ZeZe" Man

 

Many many many years ago, I found this sweet little soul on an Amish farm in Ohio. He threw up the entire ride home and has hated cars ever since. We think he really is Amish. He died today and it has been really hard on the entire family. Especially, with Dennis. They became great buds over the years.

He was so sweet and loving. Although, he was a bit smelly-it didn't matter to us. He had a funny little bark, hated any treat other than "snausages" and had the patience of a saint with the girls.

We miss him. He was a big part of our family. He gave us all lots of love...

The Sister Celebration

We could go on with countless words...but, we simply love these two little sisters. Mazlin was only home for a short time when we celebrated her birthday last year. This year Mia has taken on the big sister party planner role and it is too cute for words. This is one of many they will share together and nothing makes us happier.

8:00am Birthday Sugar Rush

Happy Birthday Mazlin! We had a special little private breakfast sugar birthday party with just the four of us this morning. Mazlin isn't much for big groups and next weekend I'm sure she will spend most of her extended family birthday party hiding from people and crying. But for today she is the Queen!

We love you Mazlin.

Big kisses and hugs

Was: Old yucky bathroom...Will Be: Fabulous New Unyucky Bathroom

 

We are in the midst of gutting our old master bathroom. It needed it! Finished picture to follow--hopefully, soon.

My husband-the set director

 

This is Mia and Dennis' rendition of Charlotte's Web. They both love the movie and found a spider on the window...so creative Mr. Daddy added the piggy.

princess for a moment...

I love this picture, Mazy went to a birthday party for a neighbor girl on sunday... Mia helped her make a crown and the moment it was placed on her head the sun came out from behind a cloud and blasted her with light... all you can see is her beautiful brown eyes.
