Adios Amigas!

We're off for a kid free vacation!

I am mentally trying to prepare myself for the flight, thank you  Xanax.. and hubby says thanks too, he would prefer for me just to be knocked out though.  Flying to me is the MOST unnatural thing on the planet, and I hate it...  the destination will be worth it (keep repeating).

I'll be back in bloggy land next week sisters!

Have a great weekend!

Wordful Wednesday

  I am so thankful that mom and mother n law will be watching out babies

  both girls were in my bed when I woke up, and when I got out of the shower they were cuddled up so close with their arms around each other... it melted my heart.

Weekend in Pictures

Best teachers on EARTH!  We had such a cute Halloween party Friday afternoon, with some songs and dances to boot!  I am going to miss this school and these teachers so much next year!

Some good friends of ours had a Halloween partry Friday night... I was serisously impressed with their cake and haunted back yard!  The girls had the best time!

Saturday morning I was up at the crack of Dawn and met my mom downtown for the Women of Faith Confernce... it was really amazing!  Something we should do every 6 months.  I left their wanting to be a better Christain, wife, mother, friend, and person.  God's love never ceases to amaze me.

Drama Queen finally got her get up on and rocked out in her poodle skirt....

A quick trunk or treat at chuch and the Diva had to be carried... her tooties are not quiet ready for heels!

We headed home, put on some comfy shoes under the gown, and the girls trick or treated the neighborhood with hubby!

This is only 1/2 the candy....

And things got crazy!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Happy Halloween from the Diva!

daily friends... daily...

 thanks to the candy, things got really crazy last night!

Queen Diva Halloween 2009

If you ask this child which princess she is, she will tell you Cinderella, because, "hello, my dress is blue and my hair is yellow, just like her".

But mommy was just going for a pretty princess dress... so this is what we ended up with, and she loves it! The dress came in the nick of time, and not extra alterations were needed!

The Drama Queen made me promise that I would NOT try to coordinate her and her sister this year... so be it.. I lost the battle. She decided to be a 50's girl this year, and has yet to wear her costume.

Today at Drama's school, the 5th grade is celebrating MAD SCIENTIST DAY. Which explains the CrAzY hair and lab coat... (Thank you Susan!) she was also awarded Terrific Kid for her 5th grade class, and her teacher said the sweetest things about her... I was so proud!

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend~!

HAPPY HAUNTING!

Do you think I can get hubby to wear these?

This is what I picked up from the Montessori yesterday... still cute.. but a clownish vampire? (its not very Cullen-esq)

I'm slightly starting to freak out about the Diva's costume...  we're having it made by the same lady that made their costumes last year... and .... ahhhh... its HASN'T ARRIVED YET!!!!!!

Houston, we have a problem.. it's literally coming from Houston, and should have arrived Tuesday.  We need that thing by 9AM Friday morning Mr. Mailman!

She may be dressing in a sheet with holes cut out for eyes!

Mommy Moments

Meet beautiful mommy Erin....

first child...

And sweet little Maddy the Monkey!

Dear Kidney Stone,

GET THE HELL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are not welcome in body.  Your antics are really starting to piss me off.  I leave for Mexico in 9 days... 9 DAYs!  You had better vacate before then! CAPISH?

sincerely,

slowly losing it MWP

Cute Cousins

Every year we try to get a picture of all my parents grandkids together.  The last couple years my SIL and I have taken this on ourselves, instead of laying all our hopes on some other poor soul in a studio.  Last weekend, didn't work as planned, my oldest nephew got sick, and had to stay home... we decided since we had all the girls in one spot (thanks to mom's pumpkin carving party), DIVIDE and CONQUER!

My girls and their cousins...
They are so close, its the sweetest thing... I know these relationships will last forever.

The 2 big girls.... Drama Queen was having some drama, so I had to do some serious photo shopping to get the tears & redness away... still cute.

I love the colors right now.. and the hoods were such a good idea from my SIL!

GTO & Gigi, some of the cutest kids on the planet!

I am sure we will try it again in November... praying everyone can stay healthy.

We Suck!

10:45 tuesday night October 20th, I was almost in dream land... I hear hubby softly say
"Shannon... Shannnon....... SHANNON!"
I frantically pop up, "What... WHAT IS IT??"
"what is todays's date?" hubby ask
pause
quiet
I say... "the 20th"
Hubby says "come here.... and pulls me across the big bed, enveloping me in his strong arms, and I start to cry".

WE BOTH forgot our Anniversary!  How can this happen?  We blame it on a busy weekend, jury duty, and our up coming Mexico Vacation....  We still suck. I wrote the date down at least 3 times yesterday and it never occured to me.

It seems like only yesterday that I posted this

Hubby, if you're reading... I still feel horrible.  I love you, you are my world and I promise this will never happen again.!    I may be getting the date tattoo'd on my hand.!
