Just us on the weekend!

Just before Craig arrived on Friday, the kids enjoyed a fun Halloween project. I say 'fun' because for them, it's totally rad!! For mom, not so rad..... I dress them like they are prepping for the ER, why, well because I know my kids. No sooner do I squeeze the BLACK and ORANGE paint onto the paper plates, Taylor already had it all over her. Who was going to do the "pumpkin?" Who was going to do the "bat?" FIRST-- why is FIRST key???? Who knows, don't think we'll ever know. BUT it's what every kid dreams about..... being FIRST!!!! Alright, sorry for the tangent. We painted the sign as fast as we could so that the over stimulation wouldn't kick in full gear. They loved it!!!! It was so cute to see them take turns despite the arguing. It's really neat to see how much they enjoy crafty things. They are definitely my kind of kids, lol!!!

Our Finished product!

 Then we painted "Belly Badges" which are what the Care Bears have on their bellies!! Kids are into CB's these days which I LOVE!!! So I told them that we can do 'belly badges' every Friday!! Daddy got to help out with Care Bear Stares this time!!!!

Saturday we made a trip to the mall since mommy had to do a little shopping. Craig got to get a little camera action in while the kids played!!!!

Not bad for first time M practice. I'll think he'll be a great partner!!!! I'm glad they finally had some Daddy time that was way overdue!!

 This was another moment that I HAD to capture!!!!

The Simple, Unforgettable Moments!!!

My Sillies!!

See the Pumpkin? Best $3 I have ever spent!!! He LOVES that thing!!!

Her face painted (by daddy) pumpkin is almost gone!!

While Oakley my dog, waits at the door to come IN, Uga my cat yearns to go outside. This is as close to freedom as he gets. Look how happy he is!!!

Ugh-oh!! He must have heard something outside! :)

We ended Saturday with a Date Night at RED ROCK CANYON with our Besties Craig and Jondra!! It was WONDERFUL!!!!!! AND- our Sunday was short lived after we spent 2 hours at the Sprint store (poor Craig was keeping the kids entertained as long as he could, thanks Honey;)) all for this!!!!

I know, I know most of you are thinking... wow, whoopty doo!!! BUT you have no idea how much I LOVE my Blackberry!!!!! So much so that instead of upgrading to a cooler different phone, or getting the sweet Iphone, I just got.. ANOTHER BLACKBERRY!!!! Oh how I LOVE me some keyboard action!!!! Touch screen is NOT for me.... BUT, I will say,for the sake of better photo quality, I had 1/2 mind to get the ever so popular Iphone!! In the end, I couldn't let BB down. :)

All in all, it was a pretty good weekend. We'll leave it at that!!! ( we won't mention the 2000 meltdowns, lol) Another week lies ahead of us and we will look forward to making the best of it!!! I will begin my packing strategy for our big TEXAS trip!!! Can't wait to see my family, friends and most of all capture lasting memories with my new camera!!!!! Live, laugh, love and ALWAYS be you!!! Cheers~ TLC
