"Trick-or-treat! Where's my candy please?!?!"

Here are the photos from Halloween, folks!  Bug had a blast!  She and her friends spent almost an entire hour in awe of the whole trick-or-treating thing.  They also spent a good majority of that hour on a sugar high from lollipops- the first time for most of them.  (Hey, don't judge.  Whatever gets them to walk, ask for more candy for their parents, and provides them the energy to sit through dinner during what would normally be their moment of exhaustion before bedtime.)





 Bug:  "Trick-or-treat!  Where's my candy please?!?!" Bug didn't even wait for any of her friends (or parents- Who are they?) to move on to the next door.  She is a serious leader.


 After asking for candy, we were brave enough to gather to a restaurant- all 17 adults and 11 kids.  SERIOUSLY.  Despite the hesitation, it went pretty smoothly.  However, I'm pretty sure we won't be invited back to the restaurant ever again.  Lol.  Poor employees who were locked in the back banquet room with 11 children-- 6 (girls) of whom were chasing 1 furry monster C. :)  The following pictures are in no way perfect.  You try to catch the kids and you win some...but you mostly lose any sense of what a great family picture is because your kid is either not looking, poking you, or not smiling.  Hahaa.  Truth.




 This one is classic.  With twins, I definitely consider this a successful family picture.  :)



 By the time we got back to the car, someone was DONE.  *We even pulled out the stroller we haven't used in over 6 months!
 *Take notice of Buggy's "sparkles" (a.k.a eye shadow).  She asked to shine.  I didn't even think it was possible for her to shine even more (mommy bragging moment), but eye shadow seemed to do the trick. :)

It was so fun watching this kid with her buddies on Halloween.  I can't wait for next year!  I'm already thinking costumes because like I told the hubs...next year we will have a family theme because apparently that's what all little families do...except us.  Next year we'll be ready.  :P

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
