Another Homecoming Weekend

This is the big weekend! Homecoming. A day like no other for the males in this house. Mister "M" is working today so he missed the whirl and bustle of the Beauty Genie i.e. Me... at work...

Hair...Make-up...and good heavens, yes Nails...all in one busy morning.

Gabe, being the adaptable fellow that he is, looked on in amusement as he comforted Teddy who felt a out -of -sorts with all the noise...



The kitchen counter was the beauty station of miracles...



Last year, I sent Claire out to get her hair done...This year, I did it myself in the style of Taylor Swift...I used about 100 hair pins and a can of hair spray, but it was accomplished...


Here is the shined up finished version of our girl...

Now...as she flows around the yard...just like when she was a Disney princess not too long ago...

See the ducks in the background...coming to see the action...

Claire and Gabe in a calm and deceptive brother and sisiter shot...

Have a great week!!!

Mom...Teddy won't move over and let me in the bed-I asked him nicely....


MOM...TEDDY WON'T LET ME in the bed...

How about you go and find your bone and maybe Teddy will let you use the bed later...


HUH...bone...

Hey Bindi...you can have the bed...can I have the bone?

Mom...Bindi won't share the bone...

Why don't you ask her nicely...

Hey Bindi...Can I share your bone?

NO!

Who wants the stupid 'ol bone anyway...

Rest day-Play day

When I play or rest, I am on my computer...hope your day was as relaxing...

Here We Go Again!

Sorry it has been a couple of weeks since I last posted...I know I say this every the time, but I really was busy...We had a dinner party for some friends we have not seen in a few years-by the way it turned out to be a very nice evening...here is the table setting.

I love to plan a dinner. We had drinks and appetizers out on the deck until the mosquitoes turned us into an appetizer. The day was beautiful, however. Here is to good friends, good conversation, great food, and a glorious summer day!

Next, was my friend's wedding. It was just beautiful! I always cry at weddings. A new life, starting out...no longer separate but Two as One, joined by God and celebrated by all...makes my eyes water even now. Mister "M" knows that I will be wiping away tears so he gently teases me, but holds my hand...he knows that my tears are that of joy for the mew couple and of remembrance of our own life together...

Here is Claire on her way to the wedding...

she was asked to sing the Ave Maria...I tried to upload the video of her singing but I ran into some problems...I will try to have it for you next posting...I need to do some more research.

We ended the weekend by closing down the pool and starting to winter-proof the yard.

Look at this ...another frog picture! This little lovey was hiding under the pool... somehow...and as you all know by now...I just love little frogs.

Look...even the doggies are worn out...

Oh, I almost forgot...the kids started back to school. That took up a week a full week of my blogging time alone! They are both settled in now and back in the rat race... WOW... I just can not believe that summer is over!

Hey I almost also forgot...I am a new AVON Lady...you can view my web site at http://mtoupin.avonrepresentative.com/

Until next time...May God Bless you and Keep you
