[You smile, I smile]

I left off last Monday. Hard to remember what I did on Tuesday, but I know Wednesday we went to our free class @ Little Gym & had so much fun! I am considering that or maybe this new place that opened Let's Pretend. Speaking of which, Steve is off Friday's & Saturday's so our plan for Friday was to take Noah to Let's Pretend. I was really excited about it but when we went it was locked & there was a sign that you had to reserve time for Open Play. That really rained on my parade! On top of that Friday night was Sushi Lounge for Alissa's 30th & I was really counting on Lorin to pull through & pick up my other cousin Janel on the way to make this as special for Alissa as possible. As expected, Lorin bailed last minute screwing over Janel who was really excited about it. I was super pissed but didn't let it ruin my night. We had a great time. I was loving the music & vibe. We had drinks & apps in the lounge area while waiting for our table. I ordered the Totowa:spicy tuna, shrimp, avocado and tempura fl akes, topped with salmon and spicy mayonnaise wrapped in soy paper & this next one is pretty different, Baja Roll:soft shell crab and shrimp tempura, guacamole and roasted bell peppers wrapped in soy served with mustard dressing. I loved them both. Meanwhile back @ home Steve had the boys (Stevie included) they watched Ironman 2 & worked on Noah's room. Saturday we went to Monmouth Mall, got Noah his first Christmas present of the year-Elephant Pillow Pet. Steve & I both got some clothes & ate @ Wild Buffalo Wings which was really good. We got a sampler of 24 wings that you can pick 4 different sauces to go on it. From there we swung home & then went to Cheesequake where the boys & even myself played some bat & ball. We took Stevie home on Sunday & then I went to Raigan's Bridal Shower which was nice to see a few people from school & catch up. They played a fun game that everytime Raigan got an answer wrong about her fiance she had to put a bubblelicous in her mouth so she ending up drooling & couldn't talk with 11 pieces @ the end! Next week I will meet up with them for some 80's dancing but first, Steve has been wanting to try this place CHAR it looks REALLY nice! I was even looking into their party packages just in case it's an idea for his 30th.Last night after Noah went to sleep we went to the movies to see The Town. It was good, but I probably liked Takers better. We saw a few future movies we want to see on the previews. I have a busy weekend ahead so I will be back next week with all the updates!

[Momma's RoCk Star!]

Rewind to last Tuesday: The Picture People "Special" Rock Shoot. For starters, it was pretty lame. I was expecting them to have a lot more props. Bringing the boys together didn't turn out to be the best plan & getting nice shots of them together was an Epic Fail. However, as shown above he "rocked" through his shoot & made it easy for me this time. Thinking back to last time..its not like he was bad, he just wanted to do his own thing & I have to expect as he gets older the pictures might not always go as planned or how I want them. Ah well. Then we shopped a bit & got Cheesesteaks to eat back @ Sara's & gave the boys a bath together. This week has been rough because none of us have been feeling that well so progress has not been made so much on Noah's new room but his Playroom is pretty close to being done sans some pictures to be hung & I got him a small shelf so I could still hang up a few sweaters or outfits. Our bedroom looks awesome & I can't wait to get our bed here. Right now we have one of those portible closets up, kitchen table for a desk & Aerobed but it shows close enough to the end result & I love what we see. Last night my dad & brother joined us in here for our new tradition of watching the new show Boardwalk Empire together, so that was fun. Noah LOVES the playroom & will literally play in there for hours. He is very content with playing with himself but whenever he has been around CJ, us or Devlin, he has never cried when they have taken a toy or anything which is really good considering he is not in a daycare or has been taught to share. Guess he's just a natural nice guy! The last 2 days I have went out with my mom picking up some color accents for the room & such. Got Noah new shoes for his costume & cute new jammies with a credit I had @ BRU. OH & last week I met my cousin Janel for lunch so that was cool. Hopefully some point this week I will get to the movies to see both The Town & Easy A. Busy weekend ahead as well, out for Alissa's Birthday on Friday to Sushi Lounge & Sunday I have Raigan's Bridal Shower. Ok caught up to speed again, my job here is done!

[All for Fall!]

So I come on to update my week in review to find that my whole Blog Layout was no longer supported by its host so I had to scramble to get something else. Then I updated to the new editor & it took away the picture button so I switched back to this one-it says it's going away soon, how will I upload pictures then? It will be a royal pain in the arsh if I have to upload it to a different website, copy code & all that jazz. Anyway, earlier on in the week we went to PA for the night to get some stuff done around there, while we were there people came to look at the house also. Finally end in sight here in NJ since our room is all done besides it needing to be cleaned out & filled up with our furniture. Well that & my dad is making us a closet & we need to get the blinds. Noah's room is primed & ready to be painted & this weekend his play room is completed & is super duper cute!Noah is very excited about it however, keeps taking a part his foam mat!We really need to get back to PA to get all his toys now! Last night Steve & I took a midnight stroll down to Kat Shack, a local bar. That was a spur of the moment treat & I put on one of my new ON sweaters for the walk. We each had 2 drinks & enjoyed the live music. I just started to Bump again (the baby website I used to be obsessed with) Come to find out a lot of people love my Grandparent's names (Audrey, which is making a come back) & Nicolo-that I was surprised to see how many people liked & also liked Nico as a nick name. Neither of those would be first name possibilites but who knows, maybe middle! Some point this week I need to set up an appointment with Brookdale to see if I can bang out these last few credits. Not sure if I even updated about going to Sanford Brown? OH in exciting news I have Raigan's shower, bachelorette & wedding all coming up within the next few weeks. Hope to get a dress soon. Tuesday Sara & I are taking the boys for a special Rock Themed Photo Shoot so hopefully Noah will be a little more coopertive this time! Ok we're about to watch a few more Sunday shows.

ETA:Today is also Grandparent's Day so I am going to get them a nice picture Tuesday (hopefully) @ the shoot to frame!

[Just haven't met you yet!]

SoO, Danielle's 30th Bash has come & gone so fast. We had a great time! As always with us, it didn't go off without a hitch but I will get to that. We pregamed @ Michelle's & there was 30th decor all around. "30 Sucks" Lollypops, steamers & more. Michelle made a drink which was by far the best of the night & it had floating cranberries in it. Must get the recipe. I gave Danielle her Flip camera & it was a great reaction..especially from a girl who could buy everything herself! She charged the camera right away but I don't think we got any sane/good videos out of that night! After a few drinks & cake we headed over to GLO. I don't feel like typing the whole thing but the place was set up nice & we had a great time, HOWEVER they were only offering two dishes off of whole menu. That was annoying. We stayed there for a little over 2 hours & then went to one other place before having some final drinks & girl talk back @ M's. The theme song of the night was Buble's "Just haven't met you yet" pretty curious to see how that video came out! Steve came to pick me up, I was pretty buzzed & burst into hysterics to see Noah in the backseat @ 330 am! Yesterday we went to Lorin's for a BBQ to see my third cousin Kelly & Madalyn who we never see. Later on, Steve & I had our third date night-this time to Ganga the sushi place I really like. We had Edmame, Sushi Starter, St Patrick roll, and Sushi Pizza. It once again rocked. Right now Steve is working & dad is finishing up the cieling & putting up the fan. It is almost time to start moving stuff in, can't wait!

[My Heart to You is Given]

I have been so bad with updating & even now I can't get into all that is new. The main thing is the rooms are finally getting there, Steve & I had our second date night to see The Takers, tomorrow I am going out for Danielle's 30th & am very excited so I will be back soon to give those details. I got my transcripts & I am only 19 credits away (5 more classes) from getting my Associates Degree. I had a meeting @ a Medical Teaching School Sanford Brown & hope to get in to Sonography. Still not sure the best route but looking into a few options. I got Noah's Fall shopping pretty much done & I started his Christmas List. So far-Potty, Growth Chart & The famous Pillow Pets everyone is raving about. Not going to go nuts since he still has Birthday presents still in the boxes! Can't wait for my lil man to have his own space to play! Stroller Strides starts next month & later on this month I have my free class @ Little Gym. I am also going to look into that being a future Birthday Party idea. We watch Sprout everyday so I know I want to put his name on TV for his big day! :o)OK, Steve finally turned of the Xbox so let me continue this at a later date. Night!
