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.

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

About birds and TEA

Before I start my update... I just had to take a picture of Connor. He is such a BOY!!! I think boys are programmed to be goofy... If you have a boy, I'm sure you have found these kids of scenes, pretty much daily! Anyways, this Good Friday I participated in The Way of the Cross celebrated at 3 pm in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic we have in Aurora. I was so glad to see such a large group, it kept growing as the minutes went by. It was pretty cold, and as usual, I was not wearing a sweater or jacket, but it was well worth it. We prayed for the babies being killed, for their mothers and for the doctors and nurses that assist them. May God help them all. As I did this, Noni came to take the kids to decorate eggs. We did decorate some at home on Saturday, too, but Noni's were a lot more dramatic, especially the one with all those feathers! Coco and Connor found some presents from the Bunny on Sunday morning. After church, we went to Noni and Papa's to celebrate with ou

Plank Jr. High

Last Thursday, Cesar had his Jr. High open house. It's a brand new school, so everybody was sooo excited to go to this new place. The original plan was for Brian to be here and take him, or for all of us to go, but Brian, of course, was sent to the Indiana office at the last minute, so he couldn't get here on time. And that left ONLY the option of mom taking him and his friend Aaron to the open house... With the two li'l ones in tow, mind ya! I was sooo aggravated, because I felt that Cesar was soooo embarrassed to walk around with Coco and Connor, and me. I had to bring myself back to his age, to try to understand that I, too, wanted my parents to leave me alone, but not VERY alone :) I just wanted to feel like a grown up, and my parents all the time around me made me feel so much like a kid. Of course, at 11 you feel like a woman already (naturally!) In any event, I really wanted Brian to be there, to walk with me and help me with the kids in the neverending sea of noisy
