Dresses, kids, fall dinner and finds

I haven't blogged in a few days, so much has been going on I haven't had time to sit at the computer and muck around. I should be doing other stuff now too, but I will take a moment. We spent the entire day dress shopping yesterday, and ta-da we have a dress. Mia looked beautiful in it, it fit her almost perfectly, one tiny tuck at the neck strap and a hemming and it will be perfect. It is 40's movie star glamourous, chic as opposed to over the top like most wedding dresses, which I have since decided are kind of hideous. She will look like a million bucks, and it was a good price. I looked for my dress too, no dice but I have two more places to look, so here's hoping. I also got to poke around at the clinique counter for a few moments, which I love, and found a gorgeous new shadow set.

Joshers is such a turkey with the words he chooses. You never know what he will say, like when I ask if he is poopy, he says "bum ewww" like the monkey he is. He can also dribble a soccer ball. The girls could not kick and dribble at all at this age-he is not even two. Dave caught it on video yesterday, it was amazing. We will be teaching him how to skate this winter too, he is so good with his feet. Daddy wants him playing hockey next year.

Noni and Mimi have their own laptop now, so they hvae been busy on it doing word art and webkins and their associated games. I am surprised how well Noni can navigate since her reading is limited-she even does it on her own when her sister isn't there. They have good computer skills, it is quite amazing.

We are having a full out roast chicken dinner, rustic french style meal tonight before Dave goes. It is the first since spring hit, I always look forward to this time. On that same note, I picked up a gorgeous Ralph Lauren tablecloth that will go perfectly with my fall placemats, a fantastic wreath, now for the front door(front one going to the back even though I still love it), the fall stuff is so ready to come out.

We are hosting a fall brunch the day after Mia's wedding, will set up three large tables in the yard if all goes as planned. We will then host the thanksgiving/JR's very early bday two weeks later too.
