Member Spotlight of the Week (9/27-10/3) ~*~AbbysMom~*~

[captiva]

BRAVO!

I didn't realize you loved the Sound of Music (or if I did I forgot). How funny

I guess I picked the right song for you. Were you twirling around the house singing with Abby in your arms ?

If I kept trying to rhyme, I would be on this question the rest of the week!

Warm chocolate chip cookies
the scent of vanilla, cinnamon, cloves
bubble baths
gathering with family and friends

- Are you an Aunt Karen? I am Auntie Karen to 2 nephews and 5 nieces.

- What were your childhood pets names (if you had any?) I had Bridget the cat, and Hammie the hamster.

- With the fall season upon us will you be decorating? Already all decorated! My Halloween Village is already up too!


- Do you hand out candy at Halloween or turn off the lights??

The last town I lived in did not encourage trick or treating. There were no sidewalks or streetlights. I would have the lights on, but would rarely get kids. According to the people we bought this house from, we better stock up on candy!

- If you could choose any age to stay at for the rest of your life which age would you choose and why? Probably around where I am now.... I feel like I am more mature, I am more level headed and I am making more responsible decisions.

- Ever been on an airplane? Yes, but only a few times. Once to Bermuda, and once to Ireland

- Ever been in a really small airplane?

No.
- Ever been to Canada? Yes! - I went to Quebec City with my parents as a child, and I my husband and I have been to Nova Scotia. Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick.

- Can you speak another language? I have had 4-1/2 years of French, but don't remember much of it!
- Do you like to cook at home or dine out? I actually like both!

That's it for now...I'm sure I'll come up with more!

Thanks! I am now off to a root canal!

2. What is the name of the first kitty you hever had? Bridget

3. What would you do if Yankee Candle Co. ever went out of business? That would be very stressful. I would probably go on a Bath and Body Works binge. Hey - they sell candles there sometimes!

4. What is the scariest movie you've ever seen? None - I get freaked out too easily! I turn a movie off as soon as it gets scary!

5. If your husband wanted to go to a Halloween party dressed as a, um, feminine hygeine product, what would you do? Let him...and help all of our friends goof on him!

6. What is your fondest holiday memory? I remember when I was a child the anticipation of Santa arriving, and trying to catch him in the act.

7. Do you prefer to cook meals or bake desserts? Bake

8. What about cats do you love the most? Their facial expressions, their paws, their tails....


Enjoy your week chick!

Thanks!

What, were you looking for ideas?

You can make the base of the tree, and hang it on the wall - have each child make a leaf and put it on the tree

I am always looking for ideas as a future art teacher!

 

[xomycatsxo]

I just have to say - this is hilarious and what a great idea!

I have no questions though... w/ a 1 1/2 yr old and it being the end of the day - I'm wiped to even start thinking.

Love all your answers (and all the creative questions)!

Happy dreams Friend! to you and hubby!

[AbbysMom]

Thanks Rigel! I will be looking forward to them!

 

[captiva]

Boy - I am creative this week. Usually, I cannot think of one question.

I am coming to your house with about 10 other TCS members for dinner. What should we expect? Do we need to take our shoes off at the door?

Is your house so clean that we will feel like we shouldn't sit on the furniture?

Do you yell at Rigel when he walks into your kitchen and helps himself to a beer

? Are we having meal in the dining room or are we having beer and brauts on the grill and eating outside? What are doing after dinner? Is Abby hiding under the bed the entire night?
