Gardner Village- Ride to a Witch!
I loved this!! You take a tractor-pulled wagon ride to a witch’s home – a vintage train car where she performs her magic! She’ll invite you to step inside and take a peek at her humble abode. She'll delight you with stories, jokes and maybe even a spell or two, all in the comfort of her own home. All the kids loved it... except Megan... she was freaked out! She stuck with me and I had one arm around and I could feel her poor little heart beating out of her chest.
Gardner Village-Petting Zoo
On Saturday we went to Gardner Village; This is my favorite place to go this time of year! We walked around and checked out the witches but Ella had ONE thing on her mind... THE PETTING ZOO! If you know my daughter at all, you know she loves animals! Here are some pictures of the petting zoo:

Hour to Live, An Hour to Love.
I read this book a few weeks back and today I want to share a part of it with all my family and friends. I love you all and lucky to have each and every one of you. I have learned so much and gain so many happy times because of you all.
An Hour to Live:
Who would you call and why are you waiting?
To begin, I want you to know that if I could live this life again with you, I do so in a heartbeat. Thank you for being there for me so many times when I proved to be oh-so-human. Thank you for accepting me, flaws and all, for taking my hand in yours and for loving me during my highest highs and lowest lows.
It's almost time for me to say good-bye and I know in my heart it's not going to be for good. I know I'll see you again-somehow, some way, somewhere, in some form. I'd like to spend the moments we have left just being quiet with you, listening the rain... If I could live this life again, I'd spend a lot more time hugging people, epecially you and our girls. Thank you. Thank you for just being you. I love you
What are you waiting for?

Thought of the Day!
I LOVE THIS SONG AND I THOUGHT I WOULD POST THE LYRICS.
I'm Alive lyrics
So damn easy to say that life's so hard
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me I'd like to thank my lucky stars that
I'm alive and well
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you've sat and watch go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me... I'm alive
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive and well
I'm alive and well
Stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight
This motor's caught its wind and brought me back to life
Now I'm alive and well
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
Now I'm alive and well
Yeah I'm alive and well
I'm Alive lyrics
So damn easy to say that life's so hard
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me I'd like to thank my lucky stars that
I'm alive and well
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you've sat and watch go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me... I'm alive
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive and well
I'm alive and well
Stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight
This motor's caught its wind and brought me back to life
Now I'm alive and well
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
Now I'm alive and well
Yeah I'm alive and well

An Enchanted Saturday
This weekend Ella had her first ballet recital, she was beautiful, they danced to music from Enchanted. I was the Mommy helper so I helped out backstage during the recital. Ella told me that she never wanted to stop doing ballet and that she had so much fun being on stage. I had even cutier pictures of Ella's dance that I had taken during her dress rehersal but my Nikon's battery is dead and for the life of me I can't find the charger.

Running with Angels
What a Beautiful race! Running with Angels 5k helps families cope with the news that their unborn or newborn baby has a life-threatening or life-limiting condition. I cannot imagine the feeling of my heart breaking like it would if I lost one of my girls. I am so very lucky to have them!
