Soccer season has come to an end

Katie and Coach Daddy did a great job this season with Soccer. Katie got out there every week and played a great game. Of course the one week she scored a goal, I wasn't there to see it. I was "Sewing by the Sea". Dan was AWESOME as the coach of Katie's team. He was so good with the girls.

Saturday was the last game of the season. Katie was so excited to get her trophy.

I already signed Katie and Dan up for the Spring season.

Sewing by the Sea

I went away with my girlfriend MaryBeth this past weekend for our own version of "Sewing by the Sea". MaryBeth and I started taking sewing class together about a year ago. The one instructor told us about Sewing by the Sea in Ocean City Maryland. It is held at one of the hotel's from Sun to Thurs. Well, going during the week was not good for us so we decided to make our own sewing by the sea. MaryBeth's grandparents have an oceanfront beach house in Brigantine, NJ. So, we packed up our sewing stuff and set out to sew by the sea. We arrived late Friday night and set up our stuff. Saturday we sewed from 10 am until 2:30pm just stopping to go out to dinner. I made 3 skirts and a tote bag. I also embroidered several items. MaryBeth made 3 tote bags, 2 pillowcases, and 3 change purses. Sunday we got up and packed our stuff and went out to breakfast and then came home. We had a blast. It may sound boring to some(like my husband, who laughed and said..."Have a blast girls") but we had a really good time.

We are already looking forward to next time!

Flashback Friday

I was reminded recently from this post, the fun times we used to have at music class. Katie and I joined a "Mommy and Me" style music class a few months after she came home. We were lucky enough to go with our friends, Kate and Lia, and Kim and Hannah. We were all new Moms enjoying our daughters. We became friends during the wait for our daughters. We talked about all the fun things we would do together once our daughters came home. Well over the past 2 1/2 years were have done some REALLY fun things but one of our first memories as a group was music class. Enjoy the pictures. These were taken in May 2006.

High School Musical...starring~KATIE!

Isn't this funny! My friend Ruck did this picture for Katie.

Halloween Happenings

We had a wonderful Halloween. Katie really enjoyed herself this year. She wanted to be Sharpay from High School Musical. Katie had changed her mind so many times. We went to the Halloween store(on this day) and she saw the Sharpay costume and that is what she wanted to be. She has never even seen High School Musical. She learned the characters from school.

Two weeks ago we had our annual Halloween parade in our neighborhood.

Katie and Mommy~ Katie didn't want to wear her Sharpay sunglasses so I wore them.



This picture of Katie running with her wig flying off the back of her head, cracks me up.


Halloween morning was Katie's Halloween parade at school. Then we went to Bailey and Brady's school in the afternoon to watch their parade.

We headed out Halloween night for Trick or Treating with Aunt Karen, Bailey, and Brady. Katie wanted to Trick or Treat with her friend Neve, so we stopped at her house first and picked her up. Daddy and Uncle Jeff went to Philadelphia for the Phillies parade. They were gone all day and did not get home in time for Trick or Treating. All the trains were packed and it took them hours to get home. So I had to put the candy on the front step with a sign that read take "2" only. Aunt Karen did the same thing at her house.

Katie and Neve were so much faster Trick or Treating this year. They ran from house to house. Last year they would stop and get back on the wagon after every house. They were so funny, they would have a little conversation at every house when they got their candy.
