Above are pics from our Halloween festivities. Griffin had a blast at his preschool party and all the classes said how cute he was in his skunk outfit- but he thinks he is a dog. At school they had a parade and a pizza party then I came and did a craft project with the kiddos.

Tonight was Halloween and we took the kids trick or treating in our neighborhood. We made sure to stop by our friends houses. Breslin and Kara were outside waiting for us with lots of candy. Then it was time to go to the Becton house for some Halloween fun. we had lots of fun and can't wait for the rest of the weekend.

Until next time...............

Tag......You're It

My friend Ashley tagged me on her blog to do this so I figured I would keep it going. Although, those of you that read my blog already pretty much know everything about me I am still going to play the game. The 6 of you that I tagged will be listed at the bottom of this post.

So here are the directions:

Now, if you're tagged, here's what you do:

1. Post the rules on your blog

2. Write 6 random things about yourself

3. Tag 6 people

4. Please pass it on for fun...

1. I have a bit of a wild side to me, although since I have had kids I have become pretty conservative. I have a butterfly tattoo and I still want one more. Once when I was in high school, i told my mom i was staying at my friend kim's house and she said the same thing about staying at my house. And in reality a group of friends went to Galveston for the weekend (sorry mom). I threw a few parties at my house when in high school as well and mom and dad never found out about all of them :) I could say more but i will keep you all wondering :)

2. my favorite movie is with six you get eggroll. that's right I am sure you have never heard of it- it is called "With Six You Get Eggroll". such a great happy movie! Love love love it! A great classic from the 60's with Doris Day & Brian Keith. Please try and rent it or for those of you that live here you can borrow mine! I love movies. I love everything about them. Maybe it is b/c my mom loves movies and I am from California, land of the movie studios. I especially love the old silly movies from the 60's where everyone is always happy. I love all 3 James dean movies, favorite actor ever (this is why I love James Franco- he looks like James dean).

3. I love classic rock! I love Pink Floyd, The Doors, Neil Young, The Beatles, CCR and The Stones. I have to thank my mom and dad for getting me into classic rock. They were always into music and it is because of them that I can appreciate good music. The music of today is nothing compared to what it used to be. Back then the song writing meant something, the singers actually wrote their own lyrics and there wasn't all this pop crap that is out today. Don't get me wrong, I think there is some good music today but nothing compared to what it used to be.

4. I can't sleep at night. I have such a hard time trying to fall asleep at night. I lay awake for hours trying to get to sleep and then finally once I have fallen into a nice deep sleep I am once again awake b/c titi still gets up one to two times at night. Oh how I wish I could sleep!

5. I love TV. Yep, I am such a couch potato- thank god for tivo. I love the old 90210, the hills, project runway, and especially one tree hill! I love one tree hill so much I named my daughter after Peyten on the show. I love the character Peyten. She is beautiful, smart, funny, into art, I love her sense of style and hello she is going to marry Lucas. Seriously, i think that character is a strong, great role model for girls. And I love the name Peyten. One of my choices for baby names was Dylan, Duh!!! But Jason said no but he agreed to Peyten :) and the rest is history.

6. I love Ninfa's spinach enchilada's. love love love them. Can't wait to make a drive to Waco one weekend to go eat me some spinach enchiladas and have a big ninfarita.

There you go- 6 random things about me. Now time to tag 6 people to do the same on their blogs. and those of you lucky enough to get tagged by me, i expect you to do this. I will be checking your blogs! So here it goes-

1. Wendi- love ya, had to tag ya!

2. dani B- can't wait to see your 6

3.slynnro- i know you are rolling your eyes about this, but i have tagged you so do it :)

4. meredith- can't wait to see your 6- i know there is a funny story there somewhere

5. Stephanie Falahee- I can't wait learn 6 things about you

6. Natalie G.- I know you don't have a blog but you can post this on your website or an e-mail b/c i am curious to know 6 things about you as well :)

Until Next Time.....................................................

All Dressed Up

So just wanted to do a quick post. Here's proof that I wore a dress AND wore my hair down- NO PONYTAIL! When Griffin saw me that night he got a big smile on his face and said "mama" like wow mama! He wasn't used to seeing me outside my "mommy clothes".

That's all... just wanted to show you that I can get dressed up. It doesn't happen often but it does happen :)

Until next time.

Pumpkin Patch Weekend

dinner with everyone friday night at Hector's
Saturday TX/OU Weekend fun
The Kids at the Pumpkin Patch
the whole family- pumpkin fun

So we had a really nice weekend. On Friday night Jason's parents came over to babysit for us so that we could go out with our friends for a yummy dinner. We had so much fun with our friends and I know the kids had fun with their grandparents. Saturday we hung around and watched a lot of football, and the kids enjoyed sporting some Texas spirit. Sunday, we took the kids to Celina, TX to the pumpkin patch. We had lots of fun at the patch. We fed the animals, picked some pumpkins, ate some hot dogs and took lots of pictures. We had a great weekend and we are so happy that Jason didn't have to go to work.

Until next time.............

MISC.

So we are back from our trip to California and my mom and dad were here for a week which was so nice! i always have such fun with my mom and dad and of course the kid love having them around. The only bad thing was we went out to eat so much i seriously gained about 6 pounds- seriously!!!!! back to the gym tomorrow! but honestly, we had such a great time together i hated to see them leave. It was tough on Griffin when they left. He kept saying, "noni, papa no work". He wanted them to stay here. Every time he sees a plane he gets sad and says, "no work, noni and papa". Bless his little heart! He cant wait till thanksgiving to see them again. It was really nice while they were here b/c me and Jason also got to go have a fancy dinner Saturday at Bob's Steak and Chop House. I even wore a dress and had my hair down. When Griffin saw me he got a big smile on his face b/c he isn't used to seeing me outside of mommy clothes. I have some pics but still need to download so I will post those this weekend.

This week we have gotten back into our routine. School, playgroups, gym, everything. Oh yeah, and i am the new room mom for Griffin's preschool. that means for every holiday and party I am in charge. Good thing my friend Kim works with little kids and has lots of great ideas. I think Griffin's classroom is going to have the best Halloween party ever!!!

We also have some fun things planned for this weekend so I promise to post pics :)

Until next time.................
