Another weekend down....

Just cleaning things up here as another weekend winds down. I never seem to really tackle that to-do list like I had hoped. All in all it wasn't bad though, we had friends over for dinner tonight and everyone had a good time. Today marks 25 days before the big girls weekend trip to Disney! I am so excited to be going away with the ladies. We are going to have a blast. Leaving 5 husbands and 13 kids behind us, how can we not destress? Lots of fun planned, including dinner at the Japanese Steak house in Epcot and a luau at the Polynesian. I need to redeem myself there....I was pulled on stage when I was in 9th grade and just did not have a dancing bone in my body. I was horrified-mortally embarassed. Now that I am older, and will probably have a few drinks in me by that time of day, I think I will have a new appreciation for it.
Speaking of Disney, most of you know Paige is going in February with the dance studio, and is doing tons of fundraising. Her latest is a Yankee Candle one-great for those little Christmas presents and other things that come up. She gets to keep 40% of her sales, so she can really raise a significant amount. If you want to check out the catalog you can find it at www.yankeefundraising.com. It's the fall catalog. You can email me what you are interested in and send along a check made out to Allegro Dance Academy by October 13. Thanks in advance!
Well, there is my shameless plug. What we do for our daughters....

One last thought for tonight. Take pictures of your family. Be in lots of pictures with your family. It's important. It's not for you, so who cares how you look. It's for those children and grandchildren and great grandchildren that will someday look at those images and say "oh-I never knew auntie had grandmas eyes" or "look mom, you and grandpa have the same dimple". You don't want to wake up one day and not have the chance to take that picture. It all goes so quickly. So do it. Now. Before the chance escapes you forever.

Hope you enjoyed the weekend.
