I cannot believe a week has gone by since my last post!  It's been a crazy but fun week, that's for sure!
On Monday Chelsea came home after practice and we watched the movie "What happens in Vegas", which I didn't expect to like, but actually loved!  We all agreed that it was quite funny!
Then Tuesday morning we met up with the girls from Treasured Friends for breakfast.  After breakfast, Chelsea...

Wow, what a fun and busy weekend we had, and looks like this week isn't going to slow down any either!
Friday night we began the evening by attending the Buckeye Football game and what a good game it was.  Zach hung out with his friends while I sat with family in the bleachers.  Just before the game ended I headed home and Zach went to spend the night at a friends.


By Saturday we were...

Of my busy weekend. 
It began at the Buckeye Homecoming Parade in which both of my nephews and sister were a part of and Zach of course, wanted to attend with his friends.  It is rare that I get a good picture of Zach and his friends, but I was pleasantly surprised with this shot.

And while I did get Debbie and Shawn going by in the trucks, by the time Cameron was coming by with the band...

I saw this on Slacker mom's blog and had to post it!

I believe - That a birth certificate shows that we were born; a death certificate shows that we died; pictures show that we lived!
I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other, and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand...

I had so much fun working with our kits this month from Work in Progress. The Halloween project kit was perfect for me because I'm always making favors for family and friends during this time of the year. 
There is so much inspiration from this months designers, be sure to check them out at the Work in Progress flickr site here.
Here are some of my pages and projects from the October main kit...

It seems whenever I have the opportunity to go visit Chelsea I jump at it!  She doesn't have any classes on Tuesday so it's a nice day for us to hang out for a bit and go to lunch.  I'm still getting used to the fact of her being at college and while some parts are getting easier, other's stay the same...
however I am so thankful for the relationship we share!  We talk about just about ANYTHING...

Lots going on in the month of October which I cannot believe begins next week!  And its official!  I finally talked Joel into going to Chicago to see the city and catch The Jersey Boys while they are in town! It is one of the few weekends that we have nothing going on in October!  Let the countdown begin!
Finally... I finished my decorating for fall on the indoors.  Now I just have a few things...

This is by far my favorite season of the year and with working/shopping at Treasured Friends for so many years, I've got quite the fall collection to decorate with. 
So I finally dug out all the totes and started playing yesterday.  It seems to take hours to find a home for everything that I have and needless to say, I'm still not done.

And with fall comes the season of caterpillars - When...

I finished reading The other Boleyn girl last night and I loved it!  It's such a weird feeling when you finish a good book.  It's like you can't wait to finish it but a let down when your done. 
The funny thing is I would have never picked this book up on my own, but after hearing so many rave reviews I had to check it out and needless to say I was hooked by the first page!  I haven't been that...

and we had a blast!  First off we picked up my mom and headed over to Houlihans for lunch.  By the time we got there we were starving but just after finishing our soup we were already full!  Once we left there we went to check out some stores in the mall so that Chelsea could pick up a few things.
We were cracking up trying on hats and luckily I carry my camera pretty much everywhere I go! To...
