Room Mom & Sitting Man

Today I was the room mom for Kylie's class at school for her Halloween party. I had fun and I know that Kylie liked me being there. It was nice to see her at school and see how she interacted with her teachers and friends in class.

But by the end of the day my feet hurt!

I did get to rest for a little while before taking the kids trick or treating for 4 hours! But it was fun.

There is a guy in the neighborhood who dresses as a gorilla each year and walks around. He had his mask off and the kids were fine going up to him to trick or treat. He then put is mask on so we could take pictures of him with the kids and both kids started to scream and ran off. Abbie was stuck to my leg like glue! It might sound bad, but I laughed so hard! The guy said that it happens all of the time!

Plus there is a man who dresses up and just sits in a chair in his driveway with the candy bowl in his lap. He does not move or say a word. He just sits there!!! Brian and Tony Dewilde said that they would give me $20 if I went up and sat on his lap. I was tempted but it was a little too freaky!! But it was a good Halloween! Even if those punk kids stole our candy bowl again! Second year in a row! Why can't you just take the candy and LEAVE THE BOWL! THANKS BRIAN!!!!

Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner

Me, Steph, Lisa and Chris are going to see the Broadway play Dirty Dancing in November. We have awesome seats - 5th row center. Plus we got a suite pass so we will be able to have some drinks and appetizers before the show.

We are going to spend the weekend downtown at Steph's townhouse. We will have some mani's and pedi's, eat some dinner, have some drinks ... I cannot wait. My sister saw the play this past weekend and said that it was great!
I am so lucky to be able to have this time with my friends. I am lucky to have a great husband like I do! I know a lot of girls who are not as lucky as I am. Thanks Brian for being you!
Love you!

Robbin Williams

Last night me & Brian saw Robbin Williams at the Chicago Theatre. I bought the tickets for us for our anniversary. It was a packed house!
It was a good time. The weather was perfect downtown.
It is always nice to have a night out with my husband without kids. Maybe next time we can eat at Wildfire!

It's Offical ...

I had my lia sophia starter show on Friday and it has been submitted. I have received my advisor number and was able to set up my website. Check it out at www.liasophia.com/kruis
I am doing my first party at my sister in law Anne's on Friday. I then have a show for a work friend on Sunday and my sister Amanda on Tuesday. Plus I am doing a show for my manager next Friday. It will be 4 shows in 1 week. Very busy. But by the time that I am done with them, I will be an old pro!
I am getting a little nervous but excited. I just cannot wait to get everything that I ordered with my hostess bonuses for doing my show! I need it to build up my display for all of my shows!
Plus, the jewelry is so cute, I cannot wait to wear everything!

12 Years of Marriage & Still Going

Today is my and Brian's 12th wedding anniversary. We have known each other longer then we have not. Who would have known when we met at 15 years old in high School, we would be here almost 20 years later .. married for 12 years, house, 2 kids, 2 dogs...
I am sure that there were more then a few people in our lives that did not think that we would make it to this point, but we did!
AND WE ARE STILL GOING STRONG!!!!

The Votes Are In!!

It is official... I am a lia sophia advisor. I am having a party at my home next Friday and I have 4 parties lined up to start and 2 more that I need to get final dates for. I am very excited. Hopefully I make some $$. I should get my starter kit in the mail tomorrow. I can't wait to open it and check everything out!
You always hear about women that are millionaires from doing home shows. You never know, I could be one of them!
I was joking around with my sister-in-law Anne saying that I will show up at her party in a skirt suit, big puffy hair, tons of make up, fake nails and jewels everywhere!

Change in our Wednesday Routine

Our Wednesdays are changing. Abbie starts school this week. Since both of the kids are going to be in school on Wednesdays, there will be a change. Over the summer me & the girls were together all day on Wednesdays and tried to do fun things. But now it will be different.
I will have over 2 hours all to my self every Wednesday morning while the kids are in school. I loved having the whole day together, but it will be nice to have some time alone at home. I can get a lot of things done or just sit there and do nothing.
I am hardly ever home alone, but now I have have time to myself every week.
I will still have time with the girls in the afternoon, but will enjoy my 2 hour break every week!
