I DARE YOU!!!

Remember when we were kids and that all-powerful dare? On Monday I ate at a delicious Asian Buffet with some of our extended family where Julian and her cousin, Alexandra, demonstrated a great feat of bravery.

Now you see it...

Now you don't!!!

Her Shameless Love of The Chocolate Fountain!

This was not staged as those of you who know her will willingly believe.

If I hadn't pulled out my camera she might never have noticed.

You just gotta LOVE that girl!

My Cutie-Pie!

For Valentine's week at my kids' school, each day was assigned a color and they kids were supposed to wear that color. Julian LOVED it and went all out!

Valentine Surprise!

You've probably noticed that I have the most amazing friends. Well, some of them love to mysteriously and anonymously drop goodies on our doorsteps. It's always fun to deduce from whom they came (good grammer?) but, more importantly, to appreciate being associated with these terrific ladies!

A few weeks ago it was a beautiful and delicious satin pie. This week it was "appley goodness" befttingly described by Kellie. It tasted incredible, but try not to be too jealous. Ü

Erin, the fabulous photographer of the group, took these gorgeous pictures. Yummy...MORE than yummy...Delightfully Delectable Appley Goodness!!!

The GREAT-Y 80's!!! (Cheesey, I know.)

Girls' Night!!! If you ever want to come, just say the word. Any woman is welcome and you won't regret it.

Hear no boredom!
See no boredom!
Speak no boredom!

Some of the die-hards. Tammy was too enraptured with her new baby boy to slip into the past...and rightly so, I might add. She was there, though, and we are all glad about that. Ü


P.S. Can you spot my pegged legs and socks?

Where Have You Been?

Well, I'm not sure where you've been, but I've been balancing spending time with my husband and kids with reading some really great books! It's hard to keep up with blogging when your nose is in a book. Plus, I haven't pulled out my camera much and how much fun is blogging without a picture or two?

I've also been to the 80's and back! For Girls' Night this weekend we dressed as if we were still livin' it up in the 80's. It was almost as much fun doing my hair and finding accessories as it was actually being at the party. My friends are a little crazy and I love it!

So, imagine peg-legged jeans and layered pink and yellow neon socks (that I kept from my high school days) and here I am. By the time this was taken my hair had fallen about two inches. How did we do it back then?

I'm hoping my photo-riffic friend, Erin, will email some pics of the rest of the bodacious babes so I can post them. (Hint, hint!)

Rock on!!!
