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!

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

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 (...

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year, especially with Micah as he is fully aware of these characters who come and leave gifts throughout the year. This year the Easter Bunny left a trail of eggs in the hallway leading up to a candy filled Easter basket (I cringe thinking of the next dentist visit!).  Matt and I loved hearing his little feet run through the hall and then to hear him gasp each time he found an egg was too cute!   We recently became members of a new church and decided to go to mass there (we usually drive across town to our old church to go to special holiday masses with mom and dad). After mass we headed to Mom and Dad's and had an AMAZING feast! Micah was bouncing off the walls with the amount of candy he had eaten, and once again, Mom out did herself with the kids' baskets she made. Here are a few pictures!
