lazy Sunday

After a very busy week of work and school we have had a pretty lazy weekend which is much needed. We had Jackson's last soccer game yesterday for the season and he did great. I then sadly spent much of the day at my office, this is a very busy time of year with corporate clients that opt to buy and sell businesses, buy and sell out partners, etc and I have THREE of those deals going on for three differnet clients...it is A LOT of paperwork and documentation...all doable but I needed a quiet day at my office to think and organize myself going into these large and complicated business transactions. Then we spent last night at a friend's house with several other families gathering to celebrate one of the dad's birthdays. Easy and low key and it was great. We all slept in this morning after the early run out the door yesterday to Soccer (God understands why we did not go to mass today) and we are just getting tasks done around the house today. I've started my shopping for the holidays and I'm trying this year to keep a running list of what I have ordered and for whom so I don't end up with a ridiculous amount of stuff at the end because I forget about things I buy!!! Is is mostly all shipping to my office for the kids. Happy Sunday all, I will try to post some pictures here from my i phone when I can get Jon to show me how to get the upload feature to work!!!

Trick or Treat

We had a Halloween party last night, the pictures do not do it justice but Jon went all out and had a great set up outside with music, lights, a screen and a projector and he even had a fog machine going and a ghost dvd that projected on to the screen, he could win awards for these talents... and we had lots of fun for Trick or Treat in our neighborhood! Sarabeth was supposed to be a cowgirl but when her friends showed up in princess dresses at the last minute she ditched her costume (I will have to get her to play dress up so I can snag a picture as she was really cute) and put together all on her own a princess fairy costume complete with her pink glitter boots and fairy wings!!! Jackson was a ninja again and tore all over the neighborhood with his buddies last night. We had quite a crowd but the kids were really amped up and I was lucky to get the handful of pictures I did take, not a whole group shot but it is what it is!! Thank goodness it was fall back today is all I can say, we got Halloween put away, cleaned up from the party and re-organized the garage (much needed task) and spent the rest of the day relaxing poolside enjoying this nice weather we have this time of year, phew. I feel like we need a day to recover from the weekend!!
