10 on Tuesday Eve

I don't think i've done one of these in awhile but I'm home a little early and by myself so lets go!

1. We had a house warming party on Saturday night. 2 things to note. #1 Sophie B. has no clue that a party went down. She spent the weekend at Grammy and PapPaps. In her words she was "on acation." #2 our house held up but Jesus is it LOUD! I don't know if it's because we have somewhat high ceilings or the fact that I don't have anything on the windows yet, but it was loud. No more parties until Christmas time, and then we are gonna try and do an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party (thanks Janice for that idea!)

2. There is now a half of a cow in my freezer thanks to my dad. It was a small cow but it's still A LOT of meat. I'm making a prediction that in six months we'll eat ALL of it. We love some red meat around here. Actually, Steven would pretty much rather die than eat chicken.

3. Our annual beach trip is in 4 weeks and Sophie B is starting to ask if it's "time to go to the beach yet." This year the ENTIRE Carr gang is heading South. Usually one or two people get stuck at home because of work obligations. Not this year. So for a mothers day gift to Steven's mom, all of us hired a photographer to take some beach pics. Now the dilemma is deciding what to wear. Initially we thought white, but then I came across the website called Awkward Family Photos and saw this pic:  "the whiteout". Yikes! We'll have to figure it out. It's really up to Grammy since she'll probably order a billboard to hang in her house. 

4. So my cousin is planning a wedding on September 25 at Station Square in Pittsburgh. Should be good times right. WRONG. The White House announced last week that the United States will play host to the G20 Economic Summit in Pittsburgh PA on September 25. When my aunt called me, in tears to tell me my initial response to laugh my arse off. Pittsburgh???? The leaders of 20 countries are going to meet in Pittsburgh?? Boy I bet they are counting down the seconds until they can visit the Steel City. Seesh, the last one was in London. Maybe they'll get to take a ride on the Gateway Clipper or ride the tram up Mt. Washington. 

     Anywho, my point is that the Sheraton called my cousin and basically said, "you can have your wedding...BUT...what ever country they are hosting at our hotel that night will want background checks on every guest in attendance, for security reasons you probably won't be able to be married outside on the terrrace, and tell your guests good luck even getting into the 'burg." Grand just grand.

5. Sophie and Gracie are movin' on up at daycare! I'm excited for her but at the same time I'm going to miss some of her teachers. That's the stinky thing about day care. You get to know the teachers and the next thing you know, it's time to move up.

6. There's not sh*t on TV this time of year. Sucks.

7. My friend at work has SOMEHOW talked me into taking pilates 2 days a week AND yoga 2 days a week. My core is gonna be rock solid, under the layer of blubber that is covering it of course.

8. Lyndsay's birth photography absolutely AMAZES me. I like to try photographing a birth sometime, any volunteers?? 

9. We are still awaiting the arrival of our FREE Wii that I won from the goodyblog.com. First on my list, Wii Fit!

10. I think Steven could move to the mountains and be perfectly happy for the rest of his life.
