Mommy of the Year

I was telling Dave this story last week and thought it was post-worthy! And telling him helped me remember...

So this past spring, I told my kids that we could redecorate their rooms this summer if they wanted to. They both enthusiastically agreed, and I gave them some ideas about paint and wallpaper and the like.

We didn't really talk about it again until mid-summer when they asked when the project was going to start. And then they pontificated on their redecorating ideas... which include installing a ceiling in my two story foyer which would become a floor for the space between their rooms, and knocking down the walls of their rooms facing this new space to create a new huge room that they could share. They've already decided where the ice cream bar and big screen TV will be located. Apparently they are going to need lofts to make sure there is room for the basketball court and the pool table. And will an indoor pool fit?

Needless to say this is not exactly what I had in mind... I've dropped the subject entirely and am hoping against hope that they forget I ever broached it.

Life is Good

We're on our annual vacation to the Hamptons with my college roommate and her family.

I am full of martinis and lobster right now. I've eaten better this week than at almost any other time in my life (other than my trip to Italy and previous trips here!). I've also gained probably 5 lbs and need detox, but life's a trade off right? RIGHT????

More to come with pictures, hopefully. Just a quick update to say how very happy i am!
