Happy Halloween

Who need professional make up artists when your body can pull of this wonderful look?



(scary no?. . .better pictures to come)

Side note: I really could use a good night sleep as you could imagine with eyes that looked like that this morning. Unfortunately, my deepest wish has come true with a vengeance. Every Halloween I think uncharitable thoughts about those "kids" who are capable of growing mustaches and have an hour glass figure and think they still can trick or treat. I always think and sometimes bravely suggest that they should be at a party instead of trick or treating with elementary kids.

I guess they took my suggestion seriously. Two doors down behind my house is a thuggin' sound system and multi colored disco lights bustin' out some serious party music. Really? The neighborhood average age is 8. Turn it down!!

Houston For the Weekend

After hearing about a fantastic Pumpkin Patch near Houston and the kids having a strategically placed half day of school, I planned a weekend reunion for our family and Houston sites we loved. (this should be read as the zoo, children's museum, and space center) Fernando was finishing up his last day in Dallas and decided to meet us there Friday night.

The zoo was our first destination for a trick o treating fest. The zoo was decorated so cutely and the activities were well thought out. We dressed up as cooly as possible since it was already 86 degrees when we pulled up. Except for the $8 over priced chicken finger platter to help stave of starvation, the zoo was perfect. The kids got candy, animal interactions, and water entertainment.









Confession: The Children's Museum was the really reason for going. It did not disappoint. The Museum was deck in cute Halloween decorations and dressed up helpers. The trick o treating was a scavenger hunt. I could go on and on, but I won't Let's just say they had to kick us out at closing.












Saturday was a super short day and slightly bittersweet. We went to the Space Center which had a Lego Themed exhibit that was amazing. Jousting, dress up, catapulting, among building with legos made it difficult to stick to our noon departure time.





Why are you so far away from us Houston?

Monster Mash

We totally did this last year and the kids just had to do it again this year. I hope you enjoy. . .especially the toothless vampire.

Not So Good

My attempts to be cutesy for Halloween failed miserably tonight. I thought I would help distract the kids from missing their father by making a treat after church today. I got the idea from a fun cooking blog and decided the red apples could be transformed into a Halloween treat by switching out the red Jell-o for orange. I am not sure how her Krispy Apple Treats turned out, but ours were a rancid sugar overload and not even close to being in a good way.



I wanted to blame it on the semi stale marshmallows. I kept trying it and bite after bite I shuddered. Mia loved it. Too bad, I couldn't allow her to destroy her body with that marshmallow mess. Into the sink it went.

Baby Steps

I hate Halloween, but I don't want my kids to have to go looking for Halloween fun at someone else's house that might choose to be more graphic in nature. So I have been taking baby steps towards adopting some fun Halloween things. This helped:



How can you say no to this cute pizza?

Curse You Technology

Today, after Mia found and wore my dance shoes downstairs, we decided that we haven't really danced for a long time. I took the shoes and began spinning and imagining it looked hot! (Not like hot mess with greasy mom hair still in pj's look. . .but wow I wish I could move like that). The kids quickly joined in and were becoming increasingly more video-able and frankly sellable. . .if one were to do that sort of thing. So I grab the camera and switch it to the movie option and nothing. The camera was on but unable to record anything! 20 minutes after the spontaneous charming dancing was over, I figured it out. Lame
