Why my Life is Never Dull, Part 3

One of the cast of characters that showed up to my house the other night. Note the admiration in Steve's eyes. He's wishing he had come up with the idea.

Again, I have no words.

Insert hysterical laughing.

Part 1, Part 2

Let's Play a Little Game

The name of this game is called,
"How many people can we cram into the Madwoman's House?"
Mmm, probably not enough yet.
Getting there....Uhh, probably getting closer.This is the food line. You don't see the end....or maybe the beginning either.
Oh, it doesn't matter anyway because we're all family and we were here together for these special people..

Happy Blessing Day little CMB!

We love you!

Lunch!


First harvest yesterday!
Lookee!
Fresh lettuce, red pepper.
Omygoodness.
How yummy are fresh greenS!
It's not too late to plant some transplants or seeds!
If you don't live in the frozen north.
Or have a greenhouse handy in your back yard.

Sick Day

For the record, I took a sick day yesterday.
Because inbetween all the partying and doing and stuff (most of which I haven't even blogged about)
I have felt absolutely awful.
Like sweats in the middle of meetings.
Achy body.
Feeling like throwing up after every meal.
Scratchy throat that never develops into a full blown sore throat.
Except that I haven't felt sick enough to go to bed.

Until yesterday.
I said enough was enough and I declared the day an official sick day.

I answered a minimum of phone calls.
Took a nap.
Didn't wear makeup or contacts.
Went to the myopractor----some blessed relief.
Ditched out on the Trunk or Treat last night......I decided to take off the "relief society president" calling and not go even though there were many members and investigators who attended.
Actually watched tv on the couch last night. (which is rare)
In between dozing off I caught up on
The weather (warming up after today)
The latest slime that Jon & Kate are throwing at each other (I quit watching their show-ug)
Some really funny episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, except I can't remember the plot.
Some stuff on HGTV-somebody from Utah buying a mansion in Mexico and some crazy young couple tearing up a room to make a play room.
Enough late night tv to last me for awhile, in between sleeping.

But I did do about 6 loads of laundry.
Worked on a new photo book of our trip to California.
Vacuumed all hard surface floors in the house.
Did my dictation.

So I guess all was not lost.

Do I feel better?
Maybe.
I better.
I'm taking some nice ladies to the temple in about 30 minutes.
And I woke up this morning listening to poor Steve in the bathroom.

I think he's taking a sick day today.

P.S. Please don't tell me how lucky I am that I can take a day off and be sick without kids. Trust me, been there done that......

Boo-tiful Babies

We went to Grandma's house last night for our October party!

We got to dress up in our costumes!
We made spiders with our handprints!Some of us spent our time just looking cute.We made ghosts out of lollipops.
We frosted pumpkin cookies.Mmmm. I like frosting!We made mummy dogs for dinner

Aunt Jessica made magic potion to drink!I guess Uncle Rick was pretty busy-we didn't see much of him.The best part was the pinata!
And then Grandma's camera battery died.

Grandma says she is going to take a nap for the rest of the week.

I wonder why.
