Weekend Recap
{my mom's haunted living room, and this picture does not do it any justice...}
- Coffee talk with my mom
- Play time with the kids
- Family dinner with homemade lasagna and cupcakes that the girls and I made/frosted
- Family game time
- Family bowling
- Dinner out with my cousins (one of who just got engaged!)
- Drinks with my stepbrother & stepsister-in-law
- Watching 9-year-olds play football (my nephew looked great out there, even though they lost)
- More Aunt Mimi time - the littlest one and I got a lot of hang time in and it was pretty much awesome.
- Halloween party! Our whole family came over, the kids dressed up and my mom created tons of game stations for them all to win tickets. She put out a ton of prizes like an arcade and they went nuts. It was hilarious!
- On our drive home we listened to The Great Gatsby in its entirety.
- Bears win!
How were your weekends? Heart warming, I hope. Even though I'm not nearly ready enough for it to start, here's to a great week!

There's no place like home! (wasn't dorothy from Kansas?) I know exactly what you mean. it's been decades since i lived where i grew up. where my extended family are. but it's still home to me.
to me, what makes my city great and homey its the fact that I live away. It is always so good to come back now.
Awesome family time! That living room is incredible!
