nora's first piano recital

The first song was entitled "Men from Mars" and the second was "Hey, Mr.half dot note!"

We were all cheering for her and so proud. Afterwards she said to me "Mom, I had little butterflies in my tummy!"

Great job NORA!

Chocolate Chip Cookies!

I made the best chocolate chip cookies this afternoon. Oh they started with little balls of gooey dough and turned into wonderful circles of moist, chewy, chocolatey, goodness!! My kids think I am the best chocolate cookie maker in the whole world. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to everyone! We had a great time carving the pumpkin and Mike did a great job on our Jack -O- lantern.

Maggie and Nora had fun trick or treating in lakeside with our friends Johnny, Madison, Morgan and Meaghan. Thanks to Jay and Kathy for a really fun night.

Mike and I went to a costume party on Saturday night. I was an awesome Geisha girl and Mike was " Super Scott"!
