I spent friday to sunday with my mother, my aunts and my cousin at my aunts cottage on Seneca lake. We had a great time... totally relaxing, talking, eating and laughing our butts off!
(Erinn, aunt bonnie and aunt debbie)
seriously, I havent laughed that hard in a LONG time. I laugh all the time.. but Im telling you.. my family is freaking funny.. no... crazy!
(aunt susie and cousin amy)
we played cranium on saturday night and someone, I wont say who.. (and no, it wasnt me..) had to act out being Madonna. we got laughing soooo hard that, that someone... peed her pants! which only made us laugh even harder... OMG! we were about hysterical. I think they could probably hear us laughing across the lake!
(seneca lake)
THEN!.. when we finally went to bed...one of my crazy aunts was attacked by a giant beetle with huge antlers and hairy legs! she about broke her nose trying to get away from it! So one of my other aunts and I went on a hunting expedition and tracked it down... I used some martial arts skills.. (that I dont really have..) and knocked it off the high ceiling with a sandal. then we caught it and got rid of it.. we sent it on a little swim... down the toilet! oh my goodness.. we laughed sooo hard! The next morning we talked about my grandmother who we lost a couple years ago and we decided that she was probably there with us.. then we hoped that she wasnt the giant beetle with the antlers and hairy legs that we had flushed! oh dear!
(my mother and marlaina)
Anyways I really had a good time and I'm so glad that I went as at first I wasnt sure I wanted too go away... I had previously and unrealistically decided that I was never going away again... (well so much for that ! lol)
It was good to see my mother.. who I kept trying to call aunt so and so.. so I nick named her aunt mommy!
(mom, marlaina, tiffany and vanessa)
Then on Monday they came out to my house to visit and to see the kids and my grandpies. my mother had never met Vanessa and she had not met Marlaina or torry pie yet either. (oh.. maybe she had seen torry pie when he was a little baby.. cant remember for sure!) So of course they loved my baby pies and we had a nice visit here too.
(torry pie!)
Today I just needed some quiet time for myself, so I went to the beach, alone!! It was heavenly... very relaxing.
Tomorrow its back to work for three days, then three days off again! Which is good as I have a little wedding shower for Tiffany this weekend. YOu know how my life goes.. theres always something crazy going on!
OKeedokie.. now I'm really tired! needing a shower and hitting the sack!
goodnight dear blogland!

So glad to hear you having a good time with your family. Just what you've needed, right? Great family pics.
Hi Viv,
It made me so happy to come over here and see you enjoying family and good times again.
Thank you for your sweet response to my daughter's news. I worried a bit about you as I posted that because of little Jacob. But thank you for your kind words.
The two little sisters are actually two years apart, but sure look like twins when we dress them alike. : )

Those grandbabies are freakin' adorable.
Now I see where you get your lovely looks from....your mother is beautiful.
Have a wonderful day.

Oh- I didn't know you were close to Seneca Lake! I spent lots of hours there. We used to go to Watkins Glen all the time. I grew up in PA just across the state line from Elmira, NY. My brother still lives in Corning. xo Diana
