No work tomorrow!

Yea! It is a workshop day... Teachers get to do their report cards and Para's get the day off!I like being a para...It is nice. I have summer's off and about 1-4 days off a month off. I get to work with kids and help them but I can send them back to the room if they don't listen!
Saturday morning is Stamp Camp at Kirstin and Jeff's. Sunday everyone is coming over here to decorate the tree. I am going to cook... If I remember how!! Here is another cute picture of the boys and Nora.
That is all that I know. see ya

Sunday night...

On Saturday Jed, Larry and I went down to Mankato. Larry and I dragged Jed on a trip down memory lane. He got to see where Larry and i met and some of the places we went in Mankato back when we were his age. 408 North Broad street... ages ago!
We met up with Jeff. Kirstin and the boys at the hotel we stayed in. We waited for Joe to call and met him at Stadium pizza. Larry was happy to see that nothing has changed there since he was a regular customer back in the 70's. We had great pizza and then we headed back to the hotel where Kirstin and Jeff put the boys to bed and I fell asleep by 9:00. Jed went out with some of his friends from Mankato.
Nora's baptism was on Sunday at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in Mankato. She was a perfect angel! The boys were good in church too but then no one was pouring water or rubbing oil on their heads! After church we went to Donohoes for Schwarmas and Cake. It was a very nice family kind of day. Lots of babies to hold and play with.
Here is one of the pictures of Nora, Mommy and Daddy.


Now we are home and Larry just left for work. Tomorrow I have to go back to work... yuck! I wish that I could just stay home and babysit for the grand babies! Here is a picture of the cousins... aren't they adorable?
Well I am going to bed... sleep tight!

Its Friday!

I am glad that it is Friday. I am going to listen to Jed play in his first performance at St. Thomas. Also I get to get music from Marissa! I listened to Regina Spektor the other night and I liked her voice. She sounds like a Nora Jones but in an alternative way.
I am going through Baby withdrawal... Haven't seen Nora for over a week and haven't seen the boys for almost a week! Thanks giving will be great! Forget the turkey... give me a baby! Amy and Matt are having Thanksgiving at their house this year for both families. It will be fun I am sure! Any time I don't have to cook is good... even tho I will go help her do the turkey and be there for advice.
I have to get some new baby pictures on the web. I have some great ones that Ron Larsen took. here is one of my favorites. Can anyone think of a good caption? It is one of those pictures that you could think of a lot of things to use!
Aren't they great? and just for equal time here is one of the little princess..
Doesn't she just look like she is going to be a dainty little girl... All pink and feminine? Check out the elegant pinkie!! I bet she will be a little tomboy!

Not much else new ...Have a great weekend!
.

Good Morning

It is Thursday! I don't know how weeks can go by fast but days seem to drag...I do know that the older I get the faster time goes!
There really isn't much to write about... so I will make another list!

10 Places That I want to visit in the USA

1. Glacier National Park... Banff Canada and Glacier are supposed to be beautiful
   
2. Maine Coast Loved it the first time and I want to see the rest of the coast.
   
3. Oregon & Washington...Never been there . I would like to see the West coast
   
4. Las Vegas... Went there when I was 10... wasn't impressed but maybe it will be different 46 years later! I don't want to stay in a hotel with roaches tho...
   
5. Washington DC... Might be fun for one time
   
6. The Kentucky Derby, Kentucky, and Tennessee... Life long dream... probably isn't what I have built it up to be but I do want to see that whole area
   
7. Arizona. I loved seeing Phoenix and Sedona and want to go back
   
8. North and South Carolina... again it is supposed to be beautiful
   
9. The Ozarks I did not say Branson but I want to see the area...
   
10. Texas, Oklahoma, Haven't been there want to see the coast...
    

I could probably name more I think I just love to travel and like driving so you can see everything. Actually I just have to ride... but I would drive if Larry let me!


Now I have to go to work. If anyone wants to come shelve books come join me!
Have a nice day...

Saturday night Roundup...

Okay I know that it has been a while... I have been busy! I went to a craft fair at Canterbury Downs. It is huge and fun... Lots of great ideas and free samples. Some things were easy to make and expensive... I can probably do lots of the things that I saw... except I don't. It did make me want to crochet more tho.
We got to see Nora (Joe and Katie too) on Thursday. That was fun. Nora is getting used to being held by us. We got lots of smiles...Joe is right... She is great! Here is what she looked like on Thurdsay...



The other day I bought lots of graphics for the web... They are kind of country... cutesy like this...I love them... I put some new ones on the website...check it out!

Today Amy and I had a mini spa day... I now have brown hair again. I can still see my thin spot but the rest of my hair looks good... thanks Abby. Abby is the best! She is at the Coles Salon off of Cliff rd.
Then we went and got our nails done at a new salon that was over by Amy's too. They were really good too. Pedicures are great! Very relaxing! Then i came home and took a nap! What a great day! Tonight I worked on the web site.
Tomorrow we are going to see the boys. I can't wait.. they are really great too!

We have decided to not get rid of the dogs at this point. If the boys come over and the dogs bother them... breathing wise, then we will have to get rid of them.. As far as the dogs are concerned when they see Nora they don't really care. They do like some of her toys tho!

That is all that I know right now... things are the same as usual around here! Low key and boring!

A Busy Day

Today was a really busy day. Amy and I left the house about 9:00 and went to Jeff's where I got to hold the boys... fun! Then Joe and Katie got to Jeff and Kirstin's house where Joe put Nora in the car and we left to go to Pam's house for a Stamp Camp. We had fun there. We made cards. I got to hold Nora for quite a while.I was quite proud of myself because I actually finished my cards! We got back to Jeff's house and visited. I got to hold the boys! I also got to hold Nora again. Larry and I got to babysit the boys while Jeff and Kirstin checked out the Penney's sale. (I am not sure I spelled that right). This was a great day!

Halloween was not spooky!

This week has gone by pretty fast!Tuesday night we went to Jeff and Kirstin's for Halloween. That was a blast... Joe, Katie and Nora, Matt Amy, Tana, Braden, Joseph, Loralei, Gretchen, Ron and Judy were all there! With the four babies and all the people it was quite a rowdy party! The babies are all so sweet.. Liam peed on me and Jeff and Joe enjoyed that... I held Nora for quite a while. I also held Logan. I want to hold Nora more!
On a different note. I just bought a bunch of graphics to use... I love graphics they are so cutsey! I can use them as stickers!!!
