We had fun Sunday afternoon with all the kids over for a Halloween party.  I think they had the most fun when we played pass the pumpkin or when we played the mouse trap game. 
Either my camera was off today or I was off today?  Because I didn't get as many good shots of the kids as I usually do?
After a late night on Saturday and a long day on Sunday - I need this Monday to clean my house...

How did this happen?  Chelsea is a senior this year and this is the first that it is really beginning to sink in.  Today we had to order her cap and gown, she will be measured when she gets to school.  And order the announcements!  Too many choices of nothing I really liked? and yikes are they expensive?
She also signed up for the New York City trip, which I hope I can go along as a chaperone!

Took a card class last night, a Christmas card class!  It seems every year I want to make my own cards.  Maybe not for everyone on my list but at least some hand made cards and either I don't have the idea or I don't have the time.  So when this card class was offered I thought why not get my ideas starting to flow and find something cute, simple and fun to make for Christmas.  I was very happy...
