Nice fall weekend.....








Our lemons are finally ready!!! The Meyer lemon (Citrus × meyeri) is a citrus fruit, native to China, thought to be a cross between a true lemon and a mandarin orange or sweet orange. That's the official Wikipedia def, thankyouverymuch! Anyway, these things are delish and go great in Kathleen's Famous Lemon Chicken, yummmmmmm. Anyone have any lemon recipe's? Please send, I've gotta use these sukkas!
We had a great weekend, our friends Amy and Bella came for dinner Saturday. Bella is 5 days older that Finn and they had a hoot!

Sunday morning I packed up the boys bikes in the car and took them down to Dick Nichols park and watched them peddle their little hearts out. After that, we picked up Dan and went to the Salt Lick for some comfort food. After that, we all came home and crashed out.

What's on YOUR to do list?






I was watching this You Tube Video about this woman doing a documentary and asked people to mail her their to-do lists...She didn't expect anyone to actually do it but the mail came pouring in! People would put everything on their to-do lists from picking up milk to finding a soul mate....it seems kind of voyeuristic to read other people's to-do lists but it really struck a chord with me. When I was working I used to write stuff on my to-do list just to cross it off. How neurotic is that??? I mentioned that to my mom one time and she said, you did???? I guess she thought it perplexing how this teenager with the messy room and forgotton homework could eventually become a manager of people and find it neccessary to mark accomplishments no matter how minute, interesting.


Sigh, I recently crossed off my list some thank you's from Luke's 2nd Birthday. We sent thank you's to Dr. Suess and Thing 1 and Thing 2 (his twin sister). And from our fabulous friends that came to our house to celebrate with us. We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anyway, I beg to ask...what's on YOUR to do list?


We are completely loving this Fall weather and playing in our new playscape! It was definitely worth the 4 week wait! Dan has been out of town all week, we dropped him off at the airport on Monday and will pick him up today (Friday) at 2:25. We are so excited to have him back! Last night Finn actually cried because he missed Daddy so much. He had never done that before, but he's getting to the age where these long trips really affect him.

Last night we went to Finn's Soccer Team appreciation Potluck dinner to thank the wonderful coaches he had this season. Coach Tuan and Coach Rod are terrific with the kids and a good time was had by all!
