Appetizer
What is your favorite herb or spice?
garlic and Italian spices
Soup
Name a song you like but haven’t heard in a long time.
Lean On Me
Salad
If you were to take just one minute to write down as many things as you can think of that you need (not want) to do, approximately how many things would there be?
1.Get all the laundry done...haha that's a dream
2.Clean out all the closets
3.Go through all the old toys and give away what the kids don't want any more
4.Finish the back porch
5.Way too many things to put down...there's always something to be done around here:)
Main Course
Tell something interesting about one of your family members (nothing scandalous, please, just something unique).
My husband has been going through our family tree and found out that they belong to the Huguenot Society. Only a direct male of the family and their children can become members. I can join but only as a spouse. He also found some really cool necklaces that are from the Huguenots.Go here to see the necklaces. http://www.manakin.addr.com/hcross.htm
Dessert
What’s the latest you’ve ever stayed awake?
Probably about 2 or 3 in the morning when i was in high school. Now I only stay up until about 10-10:30. Gotta get that beauty sleep.:)

Measured in minutes or hours, how much exercise have you had in the last week?
30 minutes a day. We try to go to the gym as many nights as we can.
Soup
If you had to change your blog title to something else, what would it be?
Am not sure. I had a difficult time coming up with the one i have. Would like to change it though.
Salad
Name one television show you watched when you were 9-12 years old.
Was trying to think what TV shows were on when i was 9-12...... I think Remmington Steele was on then. I watched that all the time:) Gotta love Pierce Brosnan.:)
Main Course
If someone gave you $50 to spend with the one condition that it had to be educational, what would you purchase?
Would probably buy books for the kids since all the girls love to read and our son is just now starting to read.
Dessert
Do you tend to prefer dark colors, neutral shades, or lighter/pastel hues?
I like the fall colors....green, some browns, teal, not so much of the oranges though.

Our weekend
My Hubby,Dad and daughter and other daughter's boyfriend went to a cubs game on Saturday and this is how close to the field they were.They had a great time!!!!! They got to eat at Grand Central Station after riding the train to Chicago. The weather was beautiful and the Cubs won!!!!!!! What a great present for my Dad who has been a Cub fan since i can remember.My daughter even got her picture put on the Cubs website for the fan photos with our middle daughter's boyfriend. I'd say their day was perfect.
The rest of us left at the house got to go to the mall and shop for homecoming dresses for our freshman and senior girls. We had a ball. The only one that didn't like the day that much was our 6 year old son. He was very good though and got to pick out a toy at KB toys for being so good. Today, if the rain holds off, we are going to watch my oldest daughter march in a parade and then go to the apple orchard. We're praying for another nice day. The weather has been perfect since my parents came to visit.
