Our Thanksgiving craft

We decided today not to go to gymnastics after Dougie told me "Dougie too tired, play couple minutes, read book, go ni nite". I guess gymnastics will wait till next week:) So I decided to do a nice fall craft. I'm finally in the mood since the weather was nice and foggy this morning. Which just happened to be perfect for our Pajama Day for Stroller Strides. I loved it, one less step to do this morning before heading out. Dougie loved it too because they got to eat doughnuts and drink milk. Ohhhh and the funniest/most embarassing part was when after class Dougie had to go "peep" and got naked, yes buck naked, grabbed ahold of a nearby fence and peeped. It was a nice naked buns shot.....at least it was with a bunch of other mom's that just laughed:) Anyways, here is a picture of our Turkey. NOT our turkey because my camera is currently being fixed (for the second time!!!).

Halloween 2009

Alright, my first blog. It was a crazy Halloween month. Filled with many Halloween parties, for the kiddos, of coarse. We started of this holiday season right!! I'm a little exhausted but this next week should be a little slower. Whenever I ask Dougie where we are going today he says "a nice Halloween birthday party". We definitely got our use out of our costumes. Dougie was Mickey Mouse and Stella Minnie Mouse, well a red and white ballerina with Minnie ears:) I had to put her in a tutu. First we met our friends at the park for a LARGE Halloween play date. Dougie got nice and sticky making caramel apples and decorating cookies. Grandma came just in time to play a little with Dougie at the park. Stella slept in the stroller for most of the afternoon. A couple weeks later we had a Stroller Strides Halloween party with a potluck. It was so cold and windy!!! I almost didn't go but I'm glad we made it out. Dougie always has so much fun playing with his Stroller Stride friends. Stella seriously sat in the same spot and ate her tutu for about an hour:) Next up a small play date at our house for our closest friends. It's nice because us moms get to talk......well mostly it's half sentences between managing the kids. But I'll take it! Then for Halloween we headed to our local pumpkin patch in Rancho Cucamonga. It was blazing, such weird weather lately.  Dougie got to go on a few bounce houses, in a petting zoo (which he loved the bunnies, we had to keep reminding him not to chase them), and on a small motorized car....all for the great price of $9.00. I'm being sarcastic it's amazing what they can charge for almost nothing. Later that night we headed to our good friends "The Campos's". Dougie talked the entire way about "Trac and how he would cry if he didn't see Trac" I assured him that she would be there and we were gonna have lots of fun trick or treating. Which we had to practice earlier in the day because when Grandma asked him " Dougie, what are you going to say when you go up to the door" and he replied "give Dougie candy"......Ummmm I swear I didn't tell him that. So we practiced saying "trick or treat" and "thanks". It worked pretty well. On the ride home Dougie told us about all the candy he got and how he ate lots of pumpkins and ghosts. Yeah, every-time I turned around his little Mickey head was near the dessert table. I can't really blame him,  they had some really good food there....I think I was full until Monday morning. Well that was our fun filled Halloween season. Now for Thanksgiving. Vegas here we come!!!
