We're down in St. George for a few days. I specifically came down to help my dad with his computer, which I have done successfully by evidence of this post, and with Kathy's and Jill's generosity (each watching the girls for a night) Adam came along with me. He is making his way back today to pick up the girls and I'll be home Monday. So my break continues until then.
Last night we all went to Vegas.
It was my grand plan when I realized Adam would be coming with me for him to take me to Delmonico Stakehouse, Emeril's restaurant that I keep hearing about. It was, needless to say delicious and worth every penny, though I was full after they brought out the salad and wondered how I was going to eat my entree. We were also going to go to a Cirque Du Soleil show while there, but that would have gotten us home way too late so we opted just for the meal.
So I hope you're all enjoying your last weekend in October. It's so strange for me to think we're nearing, only a few weeks now, into the holiday season. To me it should already be November since we had our school Halloween parades, parties, and programs Thursday. Don't ask me why, it's the way it is and I can't do much about it. Anyway, I sadly had to tell Bella and Tess I wouldn't be able to go to their school parade or parties, since Megan's event started at the same time. It was a sad state of affairs with both looking at me totally disappointed, but what was I suppose to do? I thought it was best to go to Megan's since she was actually singing, see video, but then I realized Tess was singing too...I guess I can't win. I had my mom go to the parade so at least they saw someone they knew and just hoped I would make it in time for the program.
Luckily I arrived just in time to see the end of Tess' program. It's a bummer when things overlap like that and your unable to participate. I don't know what parents do with 6 kids to juggle around.
I'm off, but before I go one last little something I got for my girls. I'm not sure if they'll taste good, but man they looked so much like childhood I just couldn't resist. Found at FAO Schwarz.
Enjoy your weekend!

I didn't realize your trip to Vegas was going to involve all 4 of you or that it would be so short. I thought you and Adam were going to spend the day there or something. Your meal sounds good.
I don't know why your schools did their Halloween stuff so early, that's just weird.
The video of Megan is funny.
Griffin's Halloween party was last Thursday and Luci's will be on Tuesday. Strange! You would think that since Luci's school waited all of the way until Oct 30 they could wait one more day and do it on the 31st. I have asked about that before at the schools, it's something about emphasizing that it is a fall party as opposed to a Halloween party so it can't be held on Halloween. Whatever.
Even more strange is that while All Saints Day is huge in the New Orleans area (lots of businesses close, etc.) not only are my kids' schools open Nov 1 but Luci even has a field trip to a farm/pumpkin patch that day!
What happened to celebrating Halloween ON the day? I don't see why they had to do it that way. I also often wonder how parents with lots of kids do it all. I guess the kids just know that they can't be everywhere at one time. I hope your trip to Vegas was good. I love weekend trips! What car are you in for that photo? The food sounds great.
Sounds like you are having a great time! The Vegas pics look fun!
I know what you mean about having kids events at the same time. This happened to me repeatedly last year! I think it only gets worse the older they get. I love the video!
How cute she looks as a witch...The vegas pictures look soo nice, and how fun to eat at 'Emiril's' what a treat. The candy looks delicious...I am sure they will taste good...anything from fAO IS wonderful.
Emerils was one of the places I wish we would have gone in New Orleans. Maybe someday we'll go back there to try it.
I know what you mean about being bummed about not making two kids events. It's so hard when you have multiple children involved. Unfortunately that is us every week especially with Doug's crazy schedule.
How nice to getaway, even though it was short. Love that photo of you two!
Sounds like a great getaway. Your pictures look amazing and I love your girls costumes. How sad that all the parties were on the same day, just one of the many juggles of motherhood I guess. Luckily this year I only have one party to worry about. We'll see how we fair next year.
That really is sad when things overlap. I don't know how my parents did it, but then again for all the things they were there for, I remember plenty they weren't at. How fun to be in Vegas and I love the suckers, they do say childhood. How are you enjoying History of Love? I'm loving it. And I love your Halloween banner! So sad I missed the last book club and those cupcakes in person.
i'm not there yet, although i'm sure next year will be a different story with having to choose which events to attend. not looking forward to that.
looks like your break was what you wanted. glad adam got to go.
looking forward to chatting again...
You are the best at self portraits, and you make Vegas look downright inviting. Looks like a fun time!
A quick trip to Vegas, on top of some time down in St. George sounds SO nice. You and Adam look great!
I am sure my mom missed things here and there with having 4 kids, but I seriously don't remember her not being at one. I wonder how many things she made it to at the end- us unaware and smiling like she saw the whole thing. Whatever she did, it worked because all I have are the memories of her supporting me. I bet Tess loved seeing you!
