So Thankful!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year (well, unless you call my Birthday a holiday, then that would be my favorite!!!).

We always have my family over for Thanksgiving. My sister Marci, her husband Tim, and their daughter Caitlyn travel from Iowa. My mom and dad come from Michigan. One nephew and his girlfriend traveled in from Illinois, while another nephew and his fiance' came from Wisconsin. All in all there were 14 of us celebrating what we feel we are truly thankful for: family, love, and in general health. Happy Thanksgiving!

I've Been Tagged!

Ack! What does this mean?! I guess it is something like a "blog game" of tag. I am good at tag but not sure if I am good at blog tag! Ok, this is my first one so I'm hoping I get it right. I've been tagged by Ginnifer: http://sunnydayscrapper.blogspot.com/ I met Ginnifer through Just Your Scrapbooking Headquarters where we recently were named to the first Design Team. Thanks Ginnifer!!

Here are the rules which must be posted on your blog if you are tagged:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blog.

Here are some facts about me:
I think toes are ugly and weird. They must be polished if wearing sandals!

I bite my fingernails and pick the skin around them

I like to sing but my son says I sound like a goat

I have naturally curly, and naturally graying hair (so sad!)

I am a night time binge eater--I love eating after the kids are in bed...

I am a true TYPE A personality....go go go go go....more more more more...

I go to bed VERY early.

I don't know many people on blogs yet since I am so new at this. So here goes:

All Saints Day, November 1, 2007

The tradition in school is that the 4th grade class researches a saint, makes a report, memorizes the information for an oral presentation to the lower grades, and wears a costume to Mass that day.

Riley chose St. Charles Borromeo. He remembered that he was baptised in that church in Bloomington Indiana (great memory he has!).

St. Charles Borromeo was born Oct.2 and his feast day is November 4th. His father was a count and his uncle was a Pope. He was a colonol and a bishop. He is the patron of Samarians, Catechumins, Catechists, Apple Orchards, and starch makers.

Halloween was a blast!

Here are a few of the pictures from this year's Halloween!!!!
