Halloween 2013

Had so much fun dressing the kids up this year. Chase wanted to be something scary so here is...

the Grim Reaper. 


Amelie wanted to be pretty for the ward trunk-or-treat and scary for Halloween night so we had...

Glinda the Good Witch
And a wicked witch 



Sawyer couldn't make up his mind. He wanted to be lots of things so we narrowed it down to something scary like Chase and a pirate like dad. So here is our...

Captain Hook by Day

And Vampire by night

Miss Solei-lei found this blonde wig at Walmart and cried when the mean store employee took it off her head and put it back. So of course I had to buy it for her and come up with a costume. Introducing...

Miss Marilyn Monroe (complete with personality)




I wasn't sure if she would take to the Marilyn idea or insist on being a princess, but as soon as I finished her dress and let her try it on she was hooked and in love with it. Phew! She went around telling EVERYONE who she was "I'm Marelyn Monrose". It was hilarious and incredibly cute. 

We spent Halloween day at Nestle's Halloween Party and the kids had a blast!  Stories with princesses, pony rides, face painting (that's where the girls cool makeup came from), a petting zoo, ice cream, bounce house, candy...a kids heaven.

And I almost forgot...Rick had a pretty cool costume too! (These are some of his coworkers)

At night we went trick or treating with friends around our neighborhood and scared people in our spook alley. 
Sawyer wanted his pumpkin to eat Soleil's pumpkin. She wasn't too happy about that. Every time she saw it she would start crying for someone to get it out. I had to distract her (not an easy task)

And this scary guy sat on the bench and creeped people out. 


All in all it was a fun and extremely exhausting Halloween!

Just a little weekend get-a-way...

in P U E R T O R I C O !!! So Rick (along with his other teammates) received a reward trip from work to vacation in Puerto Rico for 4 days! Since I constitute his other half I got to cash in on the reward. So we spent a 4-day weekend get-a-way at a huge resort on the coast of Puerto Rico without the kiddos (thanks mom for flying in to care for them while we were away:). It was fantastic! We stayed at El Conquistador Resort , which was situated on a sloping hill facing the beautiful Caribbean ocean. Our room was right there in the middle (2nd floor) and our balcony opened up to a view of the blue blue sea. That little island you see out there in the distance is Palomino Island . That's where the beach was located and we had to ride the ferry out there to play in the sand and get some sun (unless we wanted to lounge around the pool, but I'm more for the authentic beach feel). Approaching Palomino Island on the ferry. Cute ain't it? We took the El Yunque Rain Forest tou...

I'm Tired

This is the theme of today. (And this picture describes perfectly how I feel.) Not only is Sawyer still waking up ever couple hours in the night, but Chase had the stomach flu last night and was throwing up big time. I know I got up with him at least 3 separate times when he had to puke. I know what you're thinking, where is Rick? Well, he hurt his back a few days ago and hasn't been able to get around very well, let alone bend over a puking child, so he wasn't able to help. I seriously felt like I was going between nursing baby and puking child all night long. And then Rick wakes up at 5:30 to get ready for school just after I got the baby to sleep and wakes him up! Ahhh! I didn't know whether to scream or just start crying. So he takes Sawyer upstairs and puts him in the swing (which always puts him out) and then Chase comes and crawls in bed with me and then Amelie wakes up because she can hear movement in the house and is upset that Chase isn't in his be...

Chase said the funniest thing...

Chase just said the funniest thing, so I had to write it down somewhere. He's watching an old Looney Tunes DVD that we checked out from the library. You know, the classic Bugs Bunny, and Tweety Bird and stuff. Anyway, there's a part on there where this bad guy is trying to kill Bugs Bunny and he keeps saying "shut up". Rick and I picked up on this and looked at each other, not sure whether to turn it off or let it go. So Rick decides to do the following. He says, "Hey Chase, I don't like this movie. They're saying bad things. How about we watch a different one. Like Transformers (the cartoon version)." Chase's response: "Daddy, how about you go work in your car if you don't like this movie so I can stay in here and watch it." Hahahaha! I'm cracking up. Rick and I looked at each other and figured that was a pretty good answer.
