Last week I celebrated my 41st birthday. Well I shouldn't really say "celebrated" because everyone (except my husband) caught a virus, H1N1, sinus infection.... you name it, we had it! We are starting the become healthy now! Finally!

Tonight Todd and I are going out to dinner with good friends of ours. I can't wait! It's been awhile since we had a "date" night or time to ourselves. Todd has been working a lot of extra hours tutoring after school since I don't have my full time job anymore. We get so caught up in the day to day activites and the kids sports/guitar lessons/schooling. Does anyone else find this happens? I love my husband so much, but I am still afraid that one day the kids will be gone and we will look at each other and say "who are you?".

After a run of what I call "bad luck" but really just boils down to depression: I have concluded that 40 wasn't a great year for me so that must mean that 41 is my magical number!! It has to be, for my sanity! Wish me luck!!

This is a picture of me and my 20 year old son. I can remember when he was a baby and I would rock him to sleep. How the time flys!

Have you seen the Smiling Bob commerical on TV for natural male enhancement. There are a few. One is Smiling Bob in a race car, another is Smiling Bob as Santa Claus and all the women and lined up to sit in his lap. Even if you haven't seen the commercial I think this story will still amuse you.

My 12 year old son was watching TV with me and the Smiling Bob commerical came on.

BRANDON: "Mom, what is male enhancement?"
Pause
Deep Breath
ME: "It's kinda of something that helps your pee pee grow bigger."
(Well, What was I supposed to say?????)
BRANDON: "EWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
Pause
BRANDON: "Oh! That's why all those ladies are lined up!"
Pause
BRANDON: "EWWWWWWWWWW!"
ME: {giggle}

Yesterday was warm outside and the sun was shining. It felt so good! Then the lady bugs came... Some people told me it meant "good luck" to have lady bugs. I have to disagree. I was swarmed with thousands of lady bugs on the sunny side of my home. So whenever I opened the back door to let the dogs out, lady bugs would come in! I spent hours with a can of industrial bug spray trying to get all the lady bugs. I should have known better! As soon as I sprayed the first squirt, lady bugs were all over me trying to escape the fumes! EEK! In my hair, my clothes, and even down the front of my shirt!!! Sorry folks, but I didn't feel very lucky!!

Zoey and I went shopping at the "Charlestown Sale", which is like a HUGE indoor yard sale. I found a princess costume for $2.00! Wahoo!
Today we made witch finger puppets. Zoey hasn't taken it off her finger yet!

Here are a few pictures from Brandon's hockey game. This year he moved up from the B team to the A team. Brandon took some private lessons over the summer and has really improved his game. I am very proud of him and his motivation to improve. There are alot of newer players and the team is struggling. We are planning to do a hayride with the team this Friday to try to get the boys to know each other better and to have some fun! It will be dark, but I'll try to get photos!

I grew some squash in my garden and they came out looking like orange ghosts. Zoey painted them white on a warm fall day. I now have them on my front porch looking festive for Halloween.

Me, Tiffani and her son, Kyle

Kyle, Tiffani, Faith (Bruces daughter) and Bruce

Harvey (Bruces brother) Bruce, Tiffani & Amy (Tiffani's friend)

My sister got married on Thursday at the JPs office. She didn't want a big event, so it was a small ceremony for family and close friends.
