Kitten Cookies

I have been so busy being Santa's elf, there is no time to post! But here is one of my cookie making bowls, with my helper.... it is a mirace I get anything done.

Meet Miss Olivia

I just got a new baby sister! Her name is Oliva and she is 8 weeks old We got her yesterday and to celebrate I brought her to Starbucks for a latte. She is so sweet and friendly. Stanley is pissed.

What the hell?

Only in Chelsea could a waiter bring you this with a strat face.

Live from New York!

I got to see my some of my New York Friends last weekend! Since Otto was in town we decided to have a Birthday dinner for me! It was just what I needed to keep on going in dreary Connecticut! Matza Ball Soup will cure anything!

Does this make my butt look big?

Trick or Treat!

Come to our house for Halloween and you get greated by the Great Pumpkin.

Ghostly Lawn

It took me a while, but I have finally put out most of the Halloween decorations. This year's additions include ghost lights, ghost stake lights, pumpkin stake lights and ghost metal thing. the wind has taken a toll on our graveyard (my mom won't let me get real headstones) and on the ghosts on the liliac tree. Everything lights up, but night time pictures don't come out as well. I will try to take a few later on.... but it is really cold and windy today. All in all I like to think of it as my very own ode to the West Village in October.

More Salem

Here are some shots from the House of the Seven Gables, the inspiration for Nathanal Hawthorne's book. To be honest, I never read it, it took all I had to get through the Scarlett Letter. I tried to get pictures of all seven gables, but it was rough getting around. Plus I thought the house would be a lot bigger.

Yup it's me in a stockade.

Here I am in trouble as usual.

Salem

My mom and I went on our first overnight trip together! Our destination for the big occasion? Salem Massachutes. We had a lot of fun and did a ton of walking (my legs are sooo sore today) and got to see some of the sights. I wish we had more time there, but alas, baby steps for my mom and vacations.

Here are some fun pictures of our adventure!

And the debate is OVER

My dad concedes that Charlie is not a squash but a pumpkin!

Charlie is finally here!

After many months on the vine, Charlie, my first pumpkin child, is here! It was an easy labor and he weighs in at 5 pounds 6 ounces. His circumfrence is 24 inches! I could not be prouder and my mother could not be more thrilled if he were a human baby. He is a welcome addition to the family and well worth the wait. We expect three more soon!

Darker Hair

I get bored with my hair and often color it in the middle of the night. This time i used a salon and it turned out better. Who knew? Maybe I will take a cue from Britney and be wild and crazy with my new darker do.

Big Pencil

Whitney was so amused by this big pencil I bought it for her. She took orders, notes and pretty much giggled for two days. I did not really see the humor in it, but that is just me. I think she is now carrying it in her bag.

Diego's Party

Since his bark mitzvah is not until November (it is when we could get the rabbi) Diego had a smaller party for close friends. Here he is with his cake.

The Great Pumpkin Debate

We have a volunteer pumpkin growing in our back yard! There are four fruits growing off of it, and one big green pumpkin (they turn orange later on.) My dad claims they are squash. Everyone I know says the same thing, "that's a pumpkin!" Here are our pictures of Charlie, the great pumpkin plant!

Turkey of the month...

Here is is....

The center of my life right now. Whether I want her to be or not. Am going to steal the jammies though.

Meet Lenny Crow

This is Lenny. He is eating an english muffen. That is how huge he is.

More Proof I don't belong here...

I went to an auction last weekend for crafting supplies. Check out my outfit versus other people's. Hello--auction means jaunty hat! Not even my mother dressed up. Sigh...

Home Sweet Home..

Here are a few othr old friends :) And me mugging on the stoop.
