Busy Busy

In the last couple of weeks I have hosted both Bunco and Card Group at my house. I'm exhausted but enjoying the benefits. It’s definitely had me motivated to keep my house clean. If ever my house turns into a mess and I have no will to clean it, I just invite someone over for dinner. I swear by that program! :)

Though I’ve had my fill of cooking for a crowd for a good long time, I have really enjoyed trying some new recipes. Thanks to Melisa for the most delicious Panini recipe which was a huge hit at Card Group, we ate them again tonight they were SO good! And thanks to Emily for helping me through my first time making Potato Soup. Sadly, I had to call her every 10 minutes. lol

I’ve also been making Isabelle’s Halloween costume. We’re going back to Tina Miera for costume portraits. (I know- it’s like I’m totally addicted!) I’ll need Isabelle’s costume done by Wednesday. I had her try it on over her pj’s for a reference on size. Then I made her stop twirling while I took a picture… this was the happiest face she could give. Mean mom! (I love that Oliver ran over to get in the picture with her.)



Between doing those things we've been to lots of fun places. We went to Kangaroo Zoo where there are about a dozen bounce houses, most with slides. It was a really cute place to play. The kids LOVED it!





Also, we went to the Clark Planetarium, where Isabelle played on the "moon" and Oliver pointed out every single plant and moon and star.... He added "ball" to his vocabulary that day. :) I thought this 2-story sculpture was pretty cool.


We took a small trip to Wheeler Farm. Oliver wanted to touch the geese so badly. Isabelle, the kind big sister she is, touched one for him. This is the day we learned that geese can hiss! And as the goose escorted us away with both wings flapping, I believe Isabelle learned her lesson. lol

Oliver was SO excited about the horses!
