Maddy's " Fancy Nancy" party

My Maddy girl turned 4 while we were in Disney, but we just had to celebrate here when we returned, with friends ! She had a " Fancy Nancy" party at the library!
The library is a fantastic and very inexpensive place to hold a party ! We played a fun dress up game and I was very lucky to find a " purse " cake... well, they were the cupcakes alligned together & iced to look like a cake. She was a little pouty at first, and reluctant to participate. She finally did have fun playing dress up and her favorite part was opening her presents! WOW ! My youngest is 4 ! No more babies around here !

Disney !

We had the best time at Disney ! This was the first visit for my kids! It was great to have 7 days, but still feel like there's so much we didn't do ! Guess we'll have to plan another trip ! ; ) Here are a few of my favorite photos.




We also took advantage of photopass photographers. I am having a really hard time narrowing the pics I want from photopass, they are ridiculously priced and are only available in the site for 30 days. I just got a handle on the 500 + pictures I took ! My favorite part of Disney, other than watching my kids be there, were the parades! The night parades were " Spectacular" !

Disney !

We just made it back from Disney ! It was a fun time ! I think I had been to Disney 4 time as a child and Billy & I went to Disney on our honeymoon ! : )
WOW that was almost 15 years ago! This trip was the first time for all 3 kids! It was the most amazing thing to share this magic with them ! Priceless! I have over 600 pictures of the trip ! Hope to put a slide show up of a few highlights soon !

She's Four ! ( on Saturday !)

Happy Birthday Maddy Girl !

quick craft

So, here in PA there is a local winery, several actually. Chadsford is one, and they make a really good " spiced apple " wine for this season! So, the bottle is perfect for an idea I saw in a magazine. In a vase or bottle was placed a tree branch. So simple, but very pretty! I love the label on this wine bottle, as I was washing it out, I intentionally left a hint of the label on then added to it. Madelyn & I had fun collecting leaves and branches. We had some really large acorns with caps, from a previous walk at Valley Forge, wish I had remembered to lay them around! Oh well ! Enjoy the Season !




Take time to notice the leaves turning. Watch showers of them falling swirling twirling down to the ground! Walk through a pile of leaves and listen to them crunch ! Rake a bunch of them in a pile, and ( i dare you...to) run & jump in ! Or just watch your children playing is just as fun !

lately....

Here are the " happenings" around this Sullivan's life & home! Grant joined the scouts ! He's in 1st grade now and can be a "tiger" cub scout. This is a picture before his 1st Pack meeting. Now I have some patches to sew on. I am excited for him, I know he will love this !


Jackson is taking band at school and decided to play the alto saxaphone. He really loves it and I think is going to do well. It actually sounds pretty good ! I am thrilled that he is excited about it !


Madelyn is taking gymnastics again ! She loves it and she loves her teacher! This is who she is... a climber, a jumper and a tumbler !

Maddy is also in preschool this year. Her class just had a field trip to Freddy Hill's pumpkin patch ! Always fun!

I hope you are having a wonderful Fall season! Thanks for looking !
