last week

i spent the ENTIRE week at my parents house.

yes, i slept on their living room floor, and let my children have the guest/craft room....

Why?! You ask?!

well...you see i had this plan...

craft week!

it was brilliant...

ok, ok...ALMOST, brilliant.

there were a few minor glitches...

you know,

 sleepless babies, gramma harv got an awful cold, oh and i only had my moms point n shoot camera,  

...that sort of thing

but all in all, we had a great week

we ate lots of popcorn, drank lots of coffee, and watched anne of green gables...

and made lots of fun things...

but this, my friends, is not even the coolest part of my week.

while i was busy doing all this...

my hubby and two oldest boys were busy doing this.....

eating gelato...

 throwing pennies in the trevi fountain...

 

hanging on for dear life to the pillars at the top of st. peters

yes, they climbed the copula!

incredible veiw, huh?

chillin with the swiss guards

yes, that is the colosseum

and a trip to rome just wouldn't be a trip to rome without...

....visiting the Pope.
