Love the cake idea. i would love to be there too. I bowl like Fred Flint Flintstone, on his toes.
Amy gave some great Cake idea!! You are so creative with that - I can't wait to see the cake!
Wish I could make it. Next year, next year!! We will be celebrating over here, I'll buy some cupcakes! (I don't bake, I burn)
I was thinking, when do you think I should book a hotel for Salem? I would assume October is a crazzzzyyy month up there. I am so excited to go. I love Halloween!
You all are so great! :)
Kate- I've heard that October is pretty crazy in Salem. I actually have only been to Salem once when I was like 10... so it will be kind of a new experience for me too! I figure once the holidays are over we will set the dates and I will take a drive up there to look for a good hotel, and make all the arrangements. How long do you think you will be staying?
The bowl-a-thon will be fab.
Corin - I only just noticed your weight loss ticker! Well done on losing the 4lbs - you go girl. I've been doing weight watchers for a few months. Am losing very slowly, I figure it's now or never and it's something that always plays on my mind!
Weight watchers is a great program! I did it when I was 17 and lost 20 lbs! It's nice b/c they really stress healthy eating, but you can still have a bit of chocolate or such. Loosing slowly is the way to go, they say about 1 lb a week is healthy to loose, but loosing too much at once isn't. I have put on so much weight these last few years, I really need to get rid of it. I'm hoping having the ticker as a daily reminder will help motivate me to put down the ice cream!!!! :)
If it was up to me - I'd move up there! I would imagine we would stay maybe like an extended weekend? Like Friday through Monday? If you find a cheapy motel let me know. I have watched shows about Halloween is Salem. I know that many witches (like actual practicing Wicans) go up there every year and have crazy rituals. I am excited to see the beautiful trees. Steve and I are taking a ride up to some rapid falls about an hour away from the house next weekend to go see the leaves changing.
sounds good. There really is some beautiful foliage around here. I am going up to New Hampshire this weekend and can't wait to see all the trees :)
I just wanted to let everyone know how the bowl-a-thon went... it was amazing! We had over 50 people attend including a few cherubs members. Steph and Barb flew in on Saturday and spent a few days with us! Jen Brown along with her family and cherub Adrian were able to make it :) We also had Joelene Ross and her family- including her beautiful cherub Lydia, and Jeanne Vaughn with her adorable cherub- Griffin. Makayla got very friendly with Griffin and we have the cutest video of them kissing! :)
The bowl-a-thon was a huge success! Although I won't know the exact amount until all the pledges come in, I already know we far exceeded our goal! Best of all everyone seemed to have a great time and we were able to spread the word a bit about CDH to the local bowlers!!!
Here are a few pics:

Corin,
What a wonderful day you all had. I'm bet Gabe is beaming down at you all.
The pics are great, I especially LOVE the one of your shadow box.
