Happy {belated} Halloween!





We tried to go to get our pumpkins ALL month long, but we just couldn't fit it anywhere, so this past weekend, right before Halloween, we finally made it to it. Of course, it was FREEZING, and coco was sooo bummed that we didn't et to stay very long and do the maize thingy, or pet the farm animals, but it REALLY was cold, and I was afraid that with my cold, I would not be able to function the rest of the week! Cesar, Brian and Coco carved the pumplins, and I think they did an EXCELLENT job! Coco did puncture ALL of hers, it was the pirate one, we were VERY surpeised!

Then, I just had the idea of making Coco's custome myself, because I couldn't find any Angel customes out there with a thick fabric, and I knew it would be cold. But I cannot remember how to make the darn patterns! (I learned all about it when I was 16, but I cannot remember it at all!) SO, I just made her lay on the floor and traced it around her body, how about that for practical??? They looked ADORABLE, if I may say so myself! Cesar declared he just wanted to be a "freaky looking guy" and I think he absolutely SUCCEDED at it! We only trick or treated for an hour or so, before we half-way FROZE... We had a happy, fun Halloweeny day!!!

Great angel costume indeed! You so ROCK! You are SO MULTI-TALENTED! Now look who's green with envy!!!

Great pumpkins too! I need to get those cool patterns, ours were SO BORING! I can't believe I didn't let the boys try to carve their own this year...guess I was way too cautious.

Still ALIVE...

... but swamped with fabrics and paint. It's kind of funny, I ordered some fabric online from Joann, and then when it arrived, I really didn't like it. See, I'm making new curtains for the back door (it's one of those sliding doors and we used to have blinds there), new pillow covers (because we got new slipcovers for the couches) and I'm re-upholstering the dinning room chairs. And so, I ordered different fabrics that I thought would match. Very orangy-yellowish, those are the colors we chose for staging the house. Anyways, when I saw the fabric, I was very tempted to return it, but instead, I started the first chair today... And I think it looks AWESOME!!! I just finished cutting all the fabric for the back of the chairs, tomorrow I'll be busy sewing. Can't wait to see the first one finished. I'm actually getting EXCITED! Bought a couple of lamp shades, too, and I'm almost done painting the tables black (coffee and end tables). Of course, the kids ...

We will be having a totally lazy 4 th of July. Brian just came back from his trip last night, and I think he must be needing a lot of rest. He's loving his new job, but since he really is very good at "fixing" accounts, every time he fixes one and he's starting to enjoy the fruits of his work, another one gets "broken", so he has to go in and fix that one as well. It's nice that he gets such a good reputation in his industry, and it's great that he gets to know so many new people, because it's always good to have such a network of contacts, but it's really exhausting. Anyways, a few days ago I went to buy a watermelon, because we all are fans (big time!). We come home, our mouths watering, and we open it to this... WHAT??? Cesar was brave enough to try it, but I just cannot bring myself to eat some yellow watermelon flesh. It does taste the same, but I just couldn't have more than a bite or two. I'll have to give it a try again toda...

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t...
