The Wiggly Circus!!!

This past weekend, the Wiggles were in town!

We took the kids, along with my sister and niece, Alexis, to the show. I have to say, they put on a great show, even minus Murray (the red Wiggle), who was back home in Australia dealing with a family thing. He was replaced for the show by a guy named Ringo, who did exceptionally well in his place. They really seem to love what they do AND they make it fun for the parents as well.

I was a little nervous because the kids had never been to something like this before, but they did great. Colin, my shadow, stayed with me most of the time, but he clapped along and was happy to see everyone, especially the Yellow Wiggle (yellow is his favorite color!). Keira was bouncing up and down and dancing in the aisle quite a bit as well. Connor liked to sit back and enjoy the show from his chair, although he was out in the aisle a bit too.

We saw The Wiggles last summer. It was amazing! They have to be in such good shape... they're constantly moving during the show. Funny thing in our show... the Big Red Car malfunctioned mid-act, so Jeff jumped out and started pushing it around the stage. I don't think many kids noticed, but all the parents were cracking up. Glad you had fun!

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it. After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke. He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before. He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities. Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives. Despite ...

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls. I love them! My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?

A Spooky Celebration

Far off in a field, in central Illinois, there lies a patch of pumpkins of the magical kind. No one knows where they come from; they appear every October, yet no one ever plants a seed. Rare in nature is the person who finds this field. It is said that only those with a touch of magick in their hearts can find this place. As you walks delicately through the vines, you cannot help but feel a slight tremor upon nearing this particular pumpkin: Stooping down to take a peek, you hear the faint humming of a song... What could that be? A party? A celebration? A wedding! The guests are arriving: The bouquet is prepared: Guests are seated: The "best men" take their places: And now, the moment they've all been waiting for.... Let the celebration begin! But first, a wedding blessing: Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the ...
