I got a surprise!

Tiffany uploaded some pics today while she was here, so now I can show you all miss marlas cute little halloween costume!  doesnt she make a sweet little lambie pie? 

They were here for a while today to visit, and she is just the sweetest thing!  shes got quite the little personality!  I had a full house for a little while, tiffany, Robby and Marlaina, Bethany and torry pie, tony and Vanessa... and vanessa was having contractions, fairly strong ones I guess... but they stopped.  well, it wont be much longer.. We will have a new baby with in the next week or so.  OMG!  I cant wait!

so, never a dull moment in my life.  I need to make another christmas stocking as there will be 15 this year.  and guess what?  Next christmas, I will need to fill 16 stockings!  yes, 16!  I found this little poem on my desk at work on halloween....

 Yes, I thought I was expecting just Tony and Nessas baby, but turns out we are expecting two!  Tiffany and Robert are expecting again!!!   I got so excited at work when I read this that I was sweating!  lol!

Craziness I tell you.  I need a bigger house!  SERiously!!

So anyways.. one due any day and another coming this summer!  woohoo!

My family likes to keep my head spinning dont they?

In other news!!  Bony Neroni fell in love today with Bonita!  Tony and Vanessa bought her for me today.  LOL!! such fun!  they just crack me up, they are sitting on the porch swing, gazing into each others eye sockets!  lol!

Halloween is just about all packed up. I still have the porch to do and theres a few things in the bathroom.. such a job!  And, I already have thanksgiving out!  been a busy day and I've been going since 4:45.. now I am heading to the couch with a bowl of popcorn!

sweet dreams and happy sunday!

a day out with my bony friend!

 A day with bony neroni!  here he sits in my car, where he would be spending the day waiting for me to get out of work!   He was really excited to get out of the house and was looking forward to giving people something to smile about!

 we had a nice conversation on the way to work.. and at one point I pulled over so we could take a halloween shot of ourselves! 

 LOL!  I know, I know, we're fairly odd,  but girls and ghouls just wanna have fun!

 After work we headed over to Torrys to hand out candy and see him in his costume.  Torry and Jennifer thought that Bony might like to eat some smarties.. even though they seem to go right through him! lol!

 Bony enjoyed his evening handing out candy on the porch, and hanging out with Tony and the very pregnant Vanessa (who hopefully will have our new baby Violet, any day!!)    

And.. look at the cutest little monster in the world!

This pic was taken professionally.  Beth had his pics done the other day..  freaken cute isnt he?

I dont have one of marla pie in her lambie costume yet.. but I well post one soon as I do.  I didnt see her for halloween, but I will see her sweet little self tomorrow morning.

OK.. so other then marlas picture.. thats it for halloween!

I think I'll start packing it up tomorrow!

Happy Friday!

trick or treat!!

jibber jabber

Almost Halloween.. And Im thinking how much I dread putting all my cuties away!  but I have a few cute thanksgiving things that have to come out for a couple weeks..  only 1 bin!  and then of course.. the day after thanksgiving.. christmas comes out.  

Do you all know people that dont decorate?  I wonder what thats like.  I can not even imagine.   though sometimes I do think I should give up the cuties and just decorate like, for fall. with more natural things... pumpkins, gourds, leaves.. and for christmas with just greens and candles and berries.. etc...   but I would miss all my little friends!

OH well.. somehow, Ive managed to collect all this stuff and whats the sense in having it, if I dont put it out and enjoy it, even if only for a few weeks out of the year!  lol!  And I do get excited when its time to unpack it all and I get to see each piece again after it being stored away for a year.  theres sooo much cute stuff!!

The hard part is figuring out where it all goes each year!  I always have to go to my flickr site to look at pics to remember just how I had it all the year before!

Anyways... thats all for this morning.. just a bunch of jibber jabber..  about unimportant stuff!  

and Halloween is only 2 days away and then its over for another year.  I'm going to my daughters house to hand out candy there because she will get lots of trick or treaters and I will get none!  I'm taking Bony Neroni with me! LOL!

for now.. its off to work I go.. the next two days promise to be boring as I have two days of training...  I hate sitting at trainings.. I really do have Add.. and i t is soooo hard for me to just sit there...

oh well gotta do what we gotta do...

toodles ghouls!

company and a busy weekend!

so a few months ago, I received a message from my friend Marlene who Ive known in blogland for probably 5 years or so.  she asked if she could come visit and if I would teach her to needlefelt.   so of course I said yes!

plans were made and the months passed by, and suddenly it was time for her to come.  she took a bus all the way from New Jersey!  Quite honestly, I feel honored that she would want to travel two whole days just to spend a few hours with me. 

Her bus arrived Friday afternoon a little before 5:00, we whisked her off from the Rochester bus terminal for another hour of riding in a car to the big town of Medina for Pizza and wings.  Main St Medina was totally packed with kids out for beggars night.  Its sort of like a pre trick or treating night when the kids hit all the area businesses!  way toooo busy!  anyways, a quick dinner with Marlene, my friend Sandy and my daughter and torry pie, then off we went to see the musical Les Mis.  what a great show!

we got home late, had coffee, tea and applecrisp then off to lalaland!  On I taught Marlene how to needlefelt.  she made acorns, a pumpkin, a candycorn doll and an owl!  she caught on very quickly.  In the afternoon we took a little break and went for a drive to a craft antigue co-op and to the lake.  then home for lasagna and salad and another visit with bethany and torry pie.  Torry pie just loved Marlene, which is interesting because he takes a long time to warm up to most people.

Getting her back to the bus terminal was a little hectic the next morning.  we had to leave my house at 6:00 am, but my battery was dead in my car!  had to wait for hubby to get up and jump it.. then once on the expressway, the route we needed to take was closed! but we got there with 15 minutes to spare.  In fact the bus was sitting there, and she got right on it!   such a long trip just to visit me!  but we had a fun visit and she said it was worth it! lol! 

sunday I laid low and played in my craft room  I made this little kitty and painted the orange pumpkin.    I think Im done with halloween creating now..   Christmas is really starting to creep into my head now! LOL!

speaking of christmas, stay tuned!  Im going to host a challenge.. not a swap.  but an elf challenge!  I'll post more about it soon! 

Thats all for now folks.. Ive got the itchies.. and Im tired and heading to the couch! 

toodles!
