Halloween fun

Cornbelly's
My sweet flower whose head is too big for the costume:)

Alex, Ash and Gavin or should I say Alice, Minnie and Iron Man


Our first pumpkin carving



Ash and Garrett




We did the annual trick or treat party at our community center with Kate and Garrett. We also had everyone stop by for chili and then trick or treating on Halloween. We actually ran out of candy at 7:45pm...I must be more prepared next year! We had one crazy adult dressed as Batman with his wife/girlfriend ring the door and the try to explain why he was asking for free candy on a kids holiday..I hope he doesn't live in our neighborhood...FREAK. We also had a fun Saturday at Cornbelly's with Whitney, Andrea, Cristol and the kids. The weather was so warm and wonderful..just really crowded because it was a Saturday. I actually lost Ashley for about 10 minutes and the kindness of strangers had me reunited with her at the information desk shortly. When I say shortly, it sure didn't feel that way as I am envisioning who took her and where she is going to end up dead...etc, etc. I was hoping to keep it our little secret till we came home and the 1st thing she says to Dave..." I get lost at Cornbelly's Daddy!!" Like she was proud or something..ooops. I had some explaining to do:)

More birthday fun???
















We has Ashley's family party at our house on Satuday the 24th. The kids were wild and she was completely obnoxious. She didn't listen to one word, had no interest in opening her presents and was as sassy as could be. Not exactly what I had pictured in my mind for her 3rd birthday. I guess you have good and bad days and this was just a bad one. Maybe next year will be better:)

Yo Ho Yo Ho a pirates life for me!

Trying on our new outfits

Happy 3rd birthday!
We has a great afternoon at Pirate Island Pizza with out good buddies. It was pretty empty being a Wednesday afternoon. The food was good and the atmosphere was great. Thank you all for coming, we love all of you!

Binkie bye bye

On a happier note, Ash gave up her binkie without a fight the day after we arrived home from WDW. The dentist told her it was bad for her teeth...thank you Dr. Dentist! She is still napping 2 hours a day and sleeping 10-12 a night..thank god one of my children needs to sleep like me! Mark my words...we will not go through this with Maddie's binkie...bye bye much sooner.

More sickness...

Just when I thought 2 weeks was enough with sick kids, Maddie came down with a double ear infection. All the mucus from the RSV liked her ears evidently. We are on day 5 of antibiotics and are seeing some improvement. I JUST NEED ONE NIGHT OF SLEEP.....ahhhhhh:)

Sickness abound!!!

We have been sick at our house now for 10 days running...pretty much since we came home from WDW. Ashley had croup and is now vomiting with diarrhea. Maddie was diagnosed this weekend with RSV. She has been so sick all she wants is to be held 24 hours a day..she barely has the energy to cry...it breaks my heart. She is choking on her mucus which makes her throw up her food, so it's been tough feeding her. Ash actually vomited on me the other day...whew I guess I'm due since this is the first time in her life she has thrown up!!! I've been lucky 3 years running:)
