Crazy mothers!

My friend Cathy and I decided spur of the moment to take our 5 kids to Applebee's a few days ago. They were incredibly well behaved and everyone had a great time. Here are a few of the happy crew.

Craziness is coming!

We will be hosting our usual Thanksgiving dinner in a few days. We have many house guests coming to stay overnight as well as, currently, 30+ people for Thanksgiving dinner. Please check back, as I will be posting many pictures and captions of the upcoming events. It promises to be a wild ride this holiday week!! Our best wishes to everyone. We have so much to be thankful for this year, our friends and family at the top of the list.

This picture is a couple weeks late

I have meant to post this picture of Caleb and his two friends Laura Jane (left) and Eve (right) that was taken on Eve's first birthday at her party. It is funny to see them now, as compared to when they were little.

Katri visits us from Finland

I am a little late in posting these pictures. We were fortunate to get a few days with our friend Katri, who moved from Binghamton to Finland this past July. We look forward to when she and the whole family can come over, next summer perhaps.









Katri, Potter, Molly

Molly in the hole

I was told that I should post this picture of Molly. She is standing where the ovens were, before the new ones were installed. It is very cute.

Shiny, clean, functioning new dishwasher!!


















Beautiful, shiny, lovely, new double ovens!!

My new oven and dishwasher!

We had a new oven and dishwasher installed today. Oh boy, are they fabulous!!! I have to show them off to everyone. What a difference. At least we know at Thanksgiving that the oven will not stop working and we'll have sushi turkey or something gross like that. And, I can rely on my new dishwasher to get all the gunky dried gravy off of each and every plate!! Yippeee!!!

Halloween!

We had a great time trick or treating on Halloween. All of the kids dressed up as their favorite character and we collected what must be about 10 tons of candy! It was a perfect night, the weather was great and we'll be eating candy until Christmas for sure!
