Halloween Party and trick or treating

We had a halloween party at our house on Friday night. Becky came over and helped me decorate for it and it turned out great. Just a small number of people and their kids - we missed our friends that couldn't make it SOOO much!!! It was a great place for the kids to be safe and run around together. We trick or treated to a few houses.... just enough to get the idea of the process and a little bit of candy. It worked out great (o: Thank you Cheryl, Becky, Jeana and mom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeana - I didn't get a picture with you or of your gorgeous girls!!?!?!?!

Cheryl declared herself to be a jailbird and I'm a referee, both fitting for our true lives! hehehe

I can't believe I let a Bronco in my house.

We love you guys!

We sang Happy Birthday to Robert too!

I cut out Robert because he made his standard non-smiling face! Serves him right! LOL

Vertigo. URGGHHH

So this is what I felt like from Oct 26th - Oct 29th.

I should have went to the hospital on Sunday the 27th - but I didn't end up going until Monday. Thank you my dear friend Becky for driving me there. Robert and I were there for 8 hours!

Thank you to my wonderful parents who kept my kids because they just couldn't fathom mom not getting out of bed when they wanted me to. By they, I mainly mean Jack I guess. Robert tried so hard but it made me feel so much worse having them there. How sad.





Kyla made these beautiful home-made necklaces and they made funny faces to try to make me feel better though!

2nd pumpkin patch visit!

We decided to go back the next day with just Kyla, Kade, and Aiden while Jack was sleeping. We left in a hurry the night before ( I wonder why ) and wanted to make sure we got use out of the ridiculously priced tickets we had bought the night before. Well - AND get another funnel cake! YUMMY. Becky, Randy and Camy met us there for a bit! This day was MUCH much better (o:

See Kyla's dog... Kade won it for her throwing a little ping pong ball into a bowl! Yeay Kade!

Sleeping kids in the car = SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!

1st Pumpkin patch visit

October 25th - We ( mom, dad, TJ, Serina, Aiden, Gavin, Me & the kids and Robert ) were going to the pumpkin patch. Robert had to work OT so he was going to meet us there. Just leaving my parents house with the kids and trying to decide which car(s) to take and which kids were going in which cars almost put us all over the edge. Why do things always get so difficult?? I'm telling you having two 4 yr olds, a 3 yr old, a 2 yr old and a 3 month old is not the most calming thing in the world! We took turns being frustrated and debating going, but in the end we all went ( minus Robert - big surprise ) and it was ok for a few minutes at a time then progressively got worse, thanks to my wonderful Jack. Turns out it escaped the minds of 5 adults to think that perhaps my little man was STARVING. Go figure... I'm always prepared with food, but not this time. They have a snack bar there - did I get him anything, NOPE? WTH was I thinking. Here are some pictures of the outing. We were also all going to go out to dinner for my parents anniversary after the pumpkin patch - 4 restaurants later we finally settled on Black Angus because it was the least wait. ( You'll notice the margarita.... that would be mine! ) We dropped Jack off to Robert who was now home, however he screamed for 45 minutes, so I left the restaurant and went home and put him to bed - he was so swollen and tired from crying, he fell asleep in 5 minutes. poor little man.

This is when it started to get bad............



My dad kept talking to Jack and he would FREAK out everytime we would pass Papa... just an example of my frustration! TJ thought it was the funniest picture!

He was throwing a fit in the hay. I had officially become one of those moms that people look at and think - " take care of your kid lady! "



This was at the restaurant... he's the "good one"

The saving grace of my night.
