A quick trip to Wisconsin

This weekend I flew to Sheboygan, Wisconsin for my nephew's wedding. First of all I can't believe I have a nephew old enough to get married! Second, I was a little worried about going to Wisconsin. I've never had much desire to go to Wisconsin, but I figured because it was for a good cause I would suck it up and get on that plane. Sheboygan was actually a pleasant town right on Lake Michigan. It reminded me of how much I loved living by the water. I had a great time seeing all of my brothers and sisters (except KEITH!) It was a VERY fast trip but well worth it.


Saturday morning we went to the Kohler Design Center. It was quite a place. I saw more sinks, bathtubs, faucets and showers than I ever had in one place. My favorite part was the wall of toilets!



Check out this funky sink!



This was the craziest sculpture I've ever seen outside the Kohler Design Center. Who came up with this?????



Sunday morning before we left we walked down a pier by our hotel. It was windy and cold, but it was great being by the water! This is a picture of the Blue Harbor Inn where we stayed.



A couple pics with my brother Nick. Hopefully I'll have more family pics to post soon! (my camera didn't get used when those were taken!)



The happy couple, Justin and Heather

A little help...

I am doing a Halloween program with Kindergarten and 1st graders at school and it is looking like it's too short. So I think what we're going to do is have a few 1st graders read a Halloween themed poem in between each song. I googled Halloween poems and found a few that were ok, but nothing I really loved. So I'm wondering if any of you know a Halloween poem from when you were a kid, or one that your kids are learning right now that I could use. Anything would be great. Thanks all my brilliant friends!

What should YOU be doing instead??

As I was sitting here looking at all of your blogs I was thinking about what I should be doing instead. I'm tired, I feel like crap, and my bed is full of laundry that needs to be put away before I can plop my tired body into it. So what do I do? Check my friends' blogs first! (of course!) Geez. Next week will be the first official meeting of the bloggers anonymous for all of the blogging addicts out there. So what should you be doing instead?

One to go..

We closed on our new house yesterday afternoon. It was a fairly painless procedure. Chris almost had a melt down going into that much debt, but it's for a good cause. I'll post pictures when I have more time. We are all SO excited! I can't wait for more space! We have some serious painting ahead of us. (that's what friends are for, RIGHT???) Now, I just need to drop a pound or two before Friday and I'll have a perfect week! :)
