For those of you who don't know, I have been staying with the Mucci clan this week while Jeff and Wendy are taking a much needed [in my opinion] vacation together.
It has been a super fun week - so glad for the distraction and laughter that has come from hanging with the kids all week. Everyone was kind of concerned about the fact that I am still on crutches - but this week has been such a breeze thanks mostly to the kids all working together so well, and MADDIE. Holy cow - I need to brag on this girl for a minute!
I cannot say enough good about this sweet girl - she has single handedly done most of the running around/caring for Max [who is 2, for those of you who don't know] and also shouldered much of the cooking responsibilities as well...I have done my best to help her, but really - she is the one that has been doing the work...and never once a cross word or negative attitude or 'poor me' out of her. [ummm -yeah - if it was me at 13, all of the above would have applied, thank you very much]
Thursday night we were able to get a babysitter to come and stay with the boys and Maddie and I had a girls night out. We had a blast eating at Red Robin [LOVE their Bonsai burger - yummy!], sharing a strawberry banana milkshake and fries...then went to see 'Oceans Thirteen' at the theatre. So good just to relax and get some one on one time with her...I had a FANTASTIC time.
Here are some pictures from the evening for your viewing pleasure.
[and yes - I DID get six inches cut off my hair - and YES it IS super red]
[I LOVE this shot with her chin on my shoulder ]

I love you Maddie Mucci!

That is a cool name...Maddie Mucci...never thought of that before. Everybody needs an Aunt Havah. Man...I wish I'd had one. Oh, wait...I do have one. Well, not an aunt. You get what I'm sayin'.
Your hair DOES look fabulous. Stop being self-concious about it. You'd look beautiful bald. 
3 sleeps!
