Hanging at Central Park on a Lazy Saturday.

We have great parks in our neighborhood, and lots of community events. This last saturday they did an end of summer celebration with bounce houses and concession booths. The girls enjoyed it and I got sunburned, of course. I buy the girls the same outfits a lot, they like to match and wear them on the same day
I love the Palm trees, it makes me feel like we are at a tropical paradise.
They had facepainting.
Just relaxing by the water fountain.

CHICAGO

I was fortunate to be able to go to Chicago for a fun weekend with my mom and my sister Holz. We went to see the Oprah show which was neat, but the best part was just hanging with the ladies. Chicago is an awesome town, I want to go back and explore it more when it isn't raining cats and dogs. Chicago style stuffed pizza, it looked like a cake.

It rained the whole time we were there pretty much
Chicago has amazing old architecture, I loved all these buildings.

Advertising Apples

My mom always made the seasons and holidays fun. There was always yummy food to go along with everything. In the fall there was always caramel apples. These are the things that it is so fun to try and continue with the girls. So tonight we made caramel apples. They look yummy but we haven't tried them yet. They are still setting. It was a lot of fun and made me feel goodabout parenting for once. Thanks mom for all the yummy memories. You are the best!

The girlies being silly!

A lot of hard work went into this table. I should have done a before and after, because it was gross before. But now thanks to help from my mom, we have a cute new table.
