day 4 @ baker's

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNE!!

today is my sister's birthday.
she is going to be celebrating in paris, france!
she'll be celebrating her birthday in paris,
with her husband and her very best friend, jenny
& jen's husband matt (who are living in holland
for a couple of years).

anne is writing a little bit on her blog about their stay.

i just popped over to her blog and there is an
update...jen has to go home to holland.
she is having some health trouble darn it.
poor jen. take care, you! :)

well, emily got to gymnastics last night and
amanda and i went to select a costume for halloween.
she wanted to go to target and naturally, it's
pretty picked over. amanda decided that she wanted
to be the "cheerless leader". emily took one look
at it in the car on the way home and said, "dad's
gonna HATE it!!" we plan to take it back and get
something a little less "dark".
amanda kept insisting that we weren't done shopping
because the cart wasn't full....hey, anne, what are
you teaching her anyway!!! ;)

emily worked on 14 math (division) problems for
2 hours last night. the goal was to finish them
and then she could sleep in my bed. she had one
left, it was 9:30 and so i said "c'mon, that's
enough, good job!"

today, amanda has a brownie field trip to the
dinner theater here in chanhassen after school.
then emily had a costume thing at a friend's
mom's work.

i'm heading back over to my house to meet gerri.
i think a nap might be in order today! :)

mike called from florida, he was having a flashback
from when he was a kid a disneyland and wanted
to just reminisce with mom. :)

i run out of time everyday to add photos to this
blog..i'm so sorry. i have some pretty good ones
too. i'll try to give it a go later today or
tomorrow when the girls go to nana's for the night.

happy birthday anne, i love you.
hope you enjoy your birthday surprise!
