We don’t need toys (we’re already spoiled little boys!)

but diapers and wipes and food are always nice!

Huggies or Pampers please, size 4 or 5 is what we need,

stage 2 0r 3 fruits or veg or gerber graduates for a snack instead.
Clothes would be good, size 18 months if you could,

sweats, jammies and things that are snuggly

cuz all winter long we plan to be cuddly!!
Thank you so much, we love you a bunch!

We’ll see you that day and then we can play!
Love always,
matteo and vincenzo

the day has been pretty good so far. i just got home from a fun morning at work with my 142-- zipcode bff jess and my at work husband dan...jess and i had about an hour of slow time so we got a little project accomplished...something i was very proud of when we were done - organizing the coffee on the retail shelf - i know, for many of you that sounds like something silly to be excited about, but if you are reading this and have ever worked at starbucks, im sure you understand!!

we are heading over to matt and bridget's for dinner tonight, tuscan is excited to play with his bff chase and we are excited to get out of the house and hang out with some friends!! we dont even care what we are having for dinner, we're just happy to have friends to hang out with!

so im going to go prime the last wall in the dinning room and get my coffee smelling self in the shower and dig out some warm clothes to wear (mandy - dont read this part!!) cuz its freezing here today!!! i am not ready for this at all, i was really hoping for a not so cold halloween because i have 3 really cute kids with really amazing costumes that i want to take out trick or treating!!

just to back track a little on the weekend too, kelly and kennie came down from syracuse sunday so jess could do their pregnancy photos, they turned out amazing - check jess's blog in a few days to check some of them out, she's a follower of my blog, so just click her pic! then they came back to our house for dinner...hot and spicy tuscan bread, frank's homemade pasta fagioli and ceaser salad. it was delicious...

and something very exciting was accomplished for me this weekend...out of curiosity i went down to the basement to pull a few pairs of very pre-pregnancy jeans out of my bin of "shans super small clothes" and i was able to comfortably put on a pair of old navy size 2 jeans!! i was sooo excited!! wasnt quite able to button the all time favorite pair of jeans, but i did get them all the way up!! so maybe before the year is up... im keeping my fingers crossed but who knows, i am a sucker for christmas cookies!!
