So, we have this guy, Eric, in our neighborhood, who's the Fire CHIEF of a nearby fire station.
He invited us by for a visit. A PRIVATE tour, if you will.
We were enjoying our tour, until, the alarm went off, and Eric sped away in the fire truck.
From that moment on, I don't believe Lucy took her hands off her ears.
Lucy for us!!!! Captain E came back,
( it was just a man who had become sick after eating hot sauce.?.?.)
and we were THEN given the royal treatment.
I did feel bad my kids couldn't hear half of what Eric said, since their ears were closed.
And Hank, surprisingly, was the MOST scared of them all. And, he's the one who's been 'fireman Eric' since we went there.
So, what does making dinner at your house look like? This is mine. 'BOYS, go outside, NOW.'
Yup. Its pretty much the bewitching hour at our home.
Happy happy birthday, Jackie dear.
The big 31!!!!
It was a great birthday, leaps and bounds over last years fiasco, (which I can now laugh about).
Thanks to dear dear friends who send notes, letters and called.
And to my hubbs for the decor, and icing on the cake.
To celebrate the evening, Jeff and I went to dinner.
Despite searching out a place that we'd both feel comfortable,
AND not loose our wallet over it, we settled at some Diner.
Um....check out the menu. Escargot?!?!?!?! Calamari?!?!?!
Oh well. It was a fabulous evening!!!
I was in part responsible for Lucy's preschool halloween party.
It was great weather as we paraded around the playground, and then inside for snacks and games.
Every year, I say I'll dress up, but then never do.
Well dang it, this year I did.
I was a gypsie/pirate, and when Jeff came home, and I asked how he liked my costume, his reply
'oh, I didn't notice. You dress like a lot of times, right?'
Oh well, off to steal some gold!
We could not have had better weather to go begging candy from neighbors er trick-or-treating.
We even let the kids stay up 30 min later. Oooooo
And the Icing on the cake, BOULDER BOULDER
So, 2nd grade, I met someone. This someone has been a constant in my life,
and to this day remains a true friend of mine.
And the story gets better.
She was born a day before me, actually just HOURS before,
AND she's adopted.
What a perfect potion to let our 2nd grade minds believe we were twins, separated at birth.
Jenna Marie Rix came to town to celebrate!
What did we do? Besides rampage every consignment shop in Boulder?
We enjoyed fabulous food, late nights, beautiful weather, hikes, and splendid company.
Jenna, thanks for spending our birthdays together.
Thanks for the memories and laughs,
and when we meet again.......
To top it off, J took some splendid pictures of our family.
But for the rest, you'll have to wait till you get your Holiday card in the mail!
But for now, heres a teaser of me and m' honey.
