Thursday Ten...on Friday

Ok, so yesterday's ten did not happen, but at least I am doing it today, right? Here we go!!

1. My sisters, my mom and I went to go see Wicked in LA on Wednesday night, courtesy of my Dad! I had seen the show before, but it was the first time for Amy, Allie and my Mom. They totally enjoyed as did I. It is so nice to be able to spend girl time with my lovely sisters and Mom. They mean the world to me. Thanks SO much Daddy for getting us the tickets!!

2. Aaron started preschool yesterday! I have pictures but have not downloaded them yet. Will do that later and post. He did great and was very happy the entire time. As we walked up he just walked right into the room and started playing. No tears...not even by mommy! He is in GREAT hands there! Today he came out after a few minutes (I was still standing there watching) and asked for another hug and a kiss. SO SWEET!!

3. Ashley's birthday party is 1 week away and I really need to get moving on things!! I reserved the bounce house but have yet to figure out food. I need to call a few places and price out sandwiches. I also have to make the tutu's for the party and put together the favors as well as make a sign...alright, I gotta get moving on it!!!

4. Alec had jean day and crazy hair day at school. He was SO excited to do his own hair this morning. When he finally left for school it had three different products in it and it was STIFF as a board. I totally forgot to get a picture of him though...BAD mom! I will try getting it after school today. Based on how rock hard it was this morning I am sure it should hold thru a 1/2 day of school!

5. The biggest looser started this week. I LOVE this show! It is so inspiring to watch these people go from such a low level of activity to absolutely enjoying life! They totally inspire me! It is ironic, however, that most weeks I sit there watching these people working their butts off while I sit on my duff on the couch usually eating dessert. Not good. :)

6. My Mom and Dad and Jane and Ludy leave for Hawaii tomorrow for a week! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jane while she is in Hawaii!! All of you have a SAFE trip and have FUN!!

7. I booked our hotel stay for Adam and I's little anniversary get away in October! We were going to go to Lake Tahoe for 2 days then Napa for 1 1/2 days but there is a minimum 3 hour drive between the two locations so we decided to stay just in Tahoe for the entire time instead. Adam found a beautiful hotel on the California side that has a ton of fun outdoors stuff to do but it is still just a short drive down to the casinos on the Nevada side. I am currently trying to talk Adam into horse back riding. We will see if he does it...he has something against horses. I am SO looking forward to getting away!!

8. We finally decided on Halloween costumes for the kids this week. Alec is going to be Captain Hook (he is SO excited about getting a moustache drawn on his face), Aaron is going to be Peter Pan (He just wants the sward), and Ashley is going to be Tinkerbell. I am going to make Alec and Aaron's costumes, but buy Ashley's from the Disneystore. I am SO excited!! I love Halloween!!

9. Congrats to Amy and Chris on their new addition to their family...Molly the dog!!! You guys will make GREAT parents! :) Plus, it is good practice in case a human bundle of joy comes along!

10. Last for today is a prayer request. Lots of prayers need to be sent out to my friend Carol. She has been battling breast cancer for about 3 years now and has lost the battle. Sadly, Carol is about ready to go at any moment and her husband Brad is doing everything he can to make her comfortable. I met Carol thru Miss Heidi's class where she attended with her little boy, Brady who is 3 years old. Please keep their entire family in your prayers!
