This weekend we had the great pasta sauce cookoff. Our cousin Mike’s sauce won hands down. The kids all wore their costumes and bobbed for apples (Do you know that no one bobs for apples anymore?)

Just got the invitation that Pottery Barn is having their Friends and Family Sale on Thursday, October 11th to Monday October 15th. AND MY STICKER SAYS IT INCLUDES FURNITURE.
