Trick o' Tweet

Halloween was AWESOME! We went over to our friends' sister's house this year and it was so much fun. They close the street off so that the neighborhood doesn't have to worry about cars and kids, good thinking as I noticed the HOARDS of kids going door to door. Mom and Dad joined us (well dad stayed back to watch football) but Mom was in for some wine, walking and witches! Micah went as Nemo and I went as a lion (half Lion...see pictures below). I wasn't sure if Micah would get the concept but I thought we would just go with it when we got to the first house. Had I known that the first house was going to be the scariest I probably wouldn't have stopped there or I should have at least explained to Micah that spiders that are bigger than him don't exist…stupid decoration! Anyway we stopped at the first house and gave Micah the routine, he held out his bucket and just as we were going to leave the spider (the one bigger than him) mechanically came down at his eye level. I haven’t heard him EVER scream like this and jump into my arms so fast. Poor kid was shaking for a good 5 min. and kept repeating “no spider momma, no spider!” I thought the night would be ruined, but by the 5th house he understood the concept of this “trick o’ tweeting” thing! We were out for over an hour and this guy wanted to hit every house (except the ones with spiders) and he was the life of the party. We had soooo much fun watching him go door to door and run around the neighborhood yelling “TREAT?”

Here are a few pictures from the night!

Giving Thanks...Kapri's Surgery and Recovery.

You know that sinking, useless, hopeless feeling you get when one of your children are sick or hurt? Those feelings were almost more than I could take when I went to take Kapri in for her 15 month check up on Tuesday morning and ended up in surgery Tuesday night... A little over two weeks ago Kapri began to limp on her right leg and after noticing I kept an eye on it and it would differ day to day.  Sometimes it wasn't even noticeable as she would run back and forth from her brother or just in her play.  Other times is was so noticeable I found myself holding her more than I ever had (after she learned how to walk).  I decided that it was time to call the Dr. and see what his thoughts were.  So Friday (18th) we got her in. The typical questions like, did she fall, was she pushed at school, does she have a temp, etc.  Since NONE of these symptoms seemed to be the case he wanted me to just keep her on Motrin and since she had her 15 month check up on Tuesday (...

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...

What a day...

Just had to share my day from yesterday... Morning was great, minus the IPhone alarm clock that is named "Wake Up, Really Wake up and get your running shoes on"... really I named it that thinking that it would give me motivation. Seeing on how I run in the afternoon every day, I don't think it works, but I'll keep trying. every day. every morning. Sigh. Work was short as I had 2 hitting lessons scheduled so I had to get home to get set up... then it started. I saw at the office that the clouds were building in the general direction of my house, so I thought maybe there would be a chance that the lesson's would have to be canceled (I don't usually wish for this but I really wanted to spend the evening with the kids). The lighting and thunder was ridiculous! So I started to make my way and saw this... Then it occurred to me "oh $#!T" I left the equipment out, so I put the medal to the pedal and raced home. (Don't worry Mom, I didn't break ...
