Our weekend

It was such a gorgeous, crisp Autumn weekend. Saturday we spend the day decorating the lawn for Fall, taking wagon rides around the neighborhood, and sitting around the fire in the backyard....it was just the perfect family day. On Sunday we took the girls to the Wooly Bear Festival and Parade. It was easily the longest parade I've ever witnessed, but everyone had a good time.
Here are the weekend pics. If you're wondering who Ava's little friend is in the parade pictures, I don't know. They sat by us. You know Ava....Miss Social Butterfly. You'd think they'd been friends for life!


Tagged....again.

I've been tagged by my cousin Jen.
Rules: Each player answers the question themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve answered the questions on your blog.

10 Years Ago (1998):
1. I was 21 years old. Hello, Harry’s Chocolate Shop!
2. I lived in the Alpha Xi Delta house
3. I was majoring in Agriculture Sales and Marketing at Purdue University
4. I’d been dating my dear husband, Mike for about 7 months.
5. I loved to watch Ally McBeal on tv

5 Things on Today's "To Do" List:
1. Laundry
2. Jenn M, if you're reading you're gonna love this... Pick up my McCain-Palin Rally tickets at the nearest Victory center
3. Take my mother in law out to eat Thai food for dinner
4. Post weekend pics here on my blog
5. Figure out what the heck to do with the Webkinz that Ava got for her b-day

5 Things that I would do if I were a millionaire:
1. Put aside/ invest it for the girls’ education and retirement….assuming that we wouldn’t be semi retired if we had millions
2. I would love to say that I’d pick my favorite charity right away…and I would….eventually, but first I’d go SHOPPING! So shallow, I know.
3. I’d build my dream house(s). I guess it depends if it’s one million or millions. One in the country, one on a lake or even better the ocean, and maybe one in the mountains. And then I’d decorate them.
4. I would travel, starting with Tahiti and then as George Bailey put it in “It’s a Wonderful Life”, I’d see the world.
5. Buy really great gifts for all of the people that have been so generous to us: our families.
6. Now, I’d give money to research programs to cure cancer, programs to reward inner city school children or children in adverse situations that work hard to overcome obstacles and I’d adopt families for the holidays and go ALL OUT.
(Okay, I picked 6…and really I can think of hundreds of ways to spend money. Ha ha)
