This is the new thing, hugging the TV whenever a toy commercial comes on.  

SURPRISE!

Last night we had a surprise birthday party for my mother-in-law, which turned out great! She was completly shocked and even shed a few tears! Yeah, mission completed, we did it Kar. I love when a plan comes together, especially when it's been in the works for 3 months! 50 people came and not one person leaked anything. We had it at the Italian American Community Center and we hired the same DJ Kari had at her reception. My MIL was up dancing for almost every song, what a blast!

Thanksgiving was good. My family came over here and I cooked my first turkey...hahaha...how was I supposed to know that there are two holes in the turkey that they put things in! So after cooking for two hours my mom says you cleaned out both holes real good right? "BOTH holes...what are you talking about"? OMG!! Mike and I pulled the very hot turkey out of the oven and try to lift the stupid thing in a way that it won't burn anyone or fall on the floor and I dug the bag of crap out of the front. Thank goodness the plastic bag it was in didn't melt...not so sure everyone likes plastic on their turkey. Other than that little mishap everything went pretty smooth.

I have started Christmas shopping and can't wait till I just have it done. I don't mind doing it, I just like to have everything done. Hopefuly we will put up our tree soon, maybe next week sometime. Cole and Ryleigh went and saw Santa and were really good about it. They even told him what they want....they usually just hide their heads and act shy. I think Cole is at the age where he really believes in Santa, it's so much more fun now!

Happy shopping everyone!

The life of the party

The video came out really dark, but you can still kind of see my Ryleigh shaking her booty with her aunt Kari. There were more pictures taken of her last night then ever.

Winterized

Ok, obviously I have officially winterized my blog. What do you think? I am still looking around for other things to do to it, but this will do for now.

Here is Cole's really bad school pic. Thank goodness he is having them redone. Not only is it a bad pic but I had ordered a different background.( He will be losing the white collar too). 

New blog

I have been working on my winter blog and it is coming along nicely, now I just have to wait for winter to post it. I found this website http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ which has some really cool codes, i have used the snow effect from it. I plan on using some others, but I thought someone else might like some of the codes.

Girls Weekend

I know it seems like i've been doing this a lot lately, but it usually only occurs once every 3-4 months. Anyway, the girls and I went back up to Lake George for the weekend and had a great time. Kristina has a friend who travels a lot and owns a condo up there so we got to stay for free. We went horse back riding (my poor butt!!) and hit the outlets. We really wanted to eat at the Log Jam for dinner but there was an hour wait so we decided to try the Sweet Basile....good decision! I would recommend this place to anyone visting Lake George. I was a little skeptical at first...it seemed a little diner'ish... but the food was great. I had steak and lobster...mmmmmm. After we had filled our bellies to the point where we had to be rolled out, we went back to the condo and did our usual get drunk and play games all night. I love girls weekend! Our next trip will be in January where we will be going to Florida..can't wait!

Don't you wish you could do this? 

Me and Shady Lady. So this was my horse (the angle of this pic makes her look really small,but she wasn't). She kinda had a mind of her own, she had to stop and get a drink, we were in the middle so it held everyone up, then she had to stop to pee,again holding everyone up. I felt bad for the poor guy behind me, appearantly Shady Lady had a lot of fiber that morning because she couldn't stop farting. All while trying to keep her away from the horse in front of us because it wanted to kick my horse in the face everytime we got too close. Over all it was a great time though. 

Hi girls! 

This is Shady Lady. 

4 of the 5 of us,waiting for our horses. 

I learned how to use the timer on my camera this weekend, yeah.

Hooked on phonics worked for me!!

Maybe next time, I will read the instructions all the way thru, YEAH it's working!

WTF!!

Ok, so yesterday I tried to do some new things to my blog and just about none of them worked, I am getting frustrated!!!!! I found the code to make it "snow" on my site...actually I changed the snow flake to leaves...and it looks great in the preview and I saved the changes and republihed the damn post, but it won't show up on the site. Has anyone else had this problem? I also have a code to change the curser.....so that it is trailed by an image..and again it showed on the preview but not on the site. WTF???? Any suggestions are welcome!!
p.s. thank goodness I am going to get my massage today!

We had to go to our neighbors yard to get any good leaf action. Our leaves are all brown and shriveled up. I have no idea what they are looking at in this pic. 

Hurry up and take the pic mom we are trying to play in the leaves ya know.
