Ge's visit

Finally my sister and family have arrived! Last Monday, to kill time (ha ha), we drove 3 hours to Zurich to watch Lady Gaga in concert which was amazing!  Followed by another 3 hour back early Tuesday so that we could be at work all day. My sister finally arrived on Saturday! As soon as she arrived I took them all home to take quick showers so we could head out to Milan to watch a football (soccer) game for AC Milan (I felt bad for them they were zonked out all day long they didn't sleep very much on the plane and then we had them on a crazy schedule on Saturday!).  The weather was absolutely miserable but somehow we put up with it all day.  I was happy to be able to meet up with an old friend from college who I hadn't seen in about 5 years.  The kids loved the game although everyone was pretty exhausted by the end of the day.  When we woke up Sunday morning we toured Turino which is an absolutely beautiful city (although again more miserable weather!).  Turino is where th

They Call Me Baba Booey Book Review

To read my "published" review you can go the Stern Fan website. But here's the original! *** As many Howard Stern listeners, I am a huge fan, not a SUPER FAN, but still a pretty big fan.

If you know Gary (which of course you do), you know this made some of the funny stories even more hilarious (like the part where he retells the story of the apology video

Halloween

At long last Halloween was upon us.  The kids got dressed at 7 freaking AM yesterday morning (and they woke up around 5:30 am because we had the time change yesterday so their bodies are all out of wack).  As a result it was like 6 pm and we already wanted to go to sleep!  We went ice skating in the morning just to pass the time and both of them found it scary but wanted to keep doing it over and over again.  So hopefully we'll go again soon but be more prepared (other kids have helmets, gloves, hats, scarfs, mittens, etc.). And hopefully by the end of the season the kids will be experts!  They have these cute little "walkers" so that the younger kids can learn a little easier.  We're going to try to see if they actually have lessons. Anyway, we kept waiting to see when the kids would start trick or treating because we didn't know what to expect.  And we really stocked up on candy too just in case.  Sebas also changed costumes several times throughout the day so
