Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year, despite that it was my ex's weekend to have the 2 older boys. I wanted to let them know that I was thinking of them, love them, and missed them, so Baby T and I made up some gift bags with coloring books, crayons, and candy, and took them over for C1 and C2... and since I'm just so nice, I made the ex's step-kids a bag too, and they all loved it!

As soon as it darkend up a little, we put Baby T's costume on and headed out the door for some Trick or Treating. Baby T had the most perfect costume this year, and everyone let us know! It seemed like every person that we walked by and TOT'd from was "OOOOOing and AWWWWWing" over him! Of course I'm a little biased, but yes, Baby T is the cutest little boy ever! Take a look:




We were only out for a little over an hour, but I can't believe the amount of candy this kid got!!! Mr. and I figured we'd help fight childhood obesity, so we'll indulge in the majority of it, but BT will get to enjoy some too.



Here's some more pics of our Halloween. Enjoy.

When Elmo Grows Up!

We took the boys to go see "When Elmo Grows Up" on Wednesday night. I don't know who was more excited to go, me, or the boys! It was a very fun little show, and Baby T was fascinated by it all. He thought that seeing a giant sized Elmo was freakishly awesome! Cookie Monster even came up our isle to say Hi!!

We ate popcorn and cotton candy by the loads, danced around in the isles, made friends with a few kids, bought some souvenirs, and got rained on by confetti. All-in-all, it was a fantastic night, and I would love to do it again!

Because of the chaos of all the confetti, we never did find out what Elmo wanted to be...

5hrs of pure hell, but... (supposed to post last night)

I finally got the boys cupcakes all finished. After my mishap this morning with the eggs, I returned home and dove right into the project. Thankfully Baby T was good today and only interrupted me twice... once for lunch and once because he...umm...filled his pants (right when I was elbow deep in batter). I got him all cleaned up and shipped off to bed for a nap, then returned to my kitchen where 50 cupcakes lined my counter top ready to be decorated. After about 2hrs into it all, it looked something like this:

Um, yeah, it doesn't look like it will ever end does it? That picture actually does no justice because all of the mess was on ME! After about 3hrs, it finally looked like I was getting somewhere:

Yes, those will be little vampire bats!

Around this time, General Hospital decided to aire, so I decorated half-way in the kitchen half-way in the living room..lol! I made many goof ups during this time because one of my favorite (and very sexy) actors was permanently replaced on the show, so I was really busy yelling at the screen at this new guy... and contemplated throwing a few cupcakes at him, but decided his ugly mug wasn't worth screwing up my adorable cupcakes.

Finally, after 5 really long hours, I got them all done. It was one of the most ridiculous projects I've ever done, but it was sooo worth it because they are the CUTEST cuppycakes I've ever seen!

My little munchkins are so excited to take these to school! I wish I would've gotten a pic of their faces when they saw these, because it was priceless! I love doing things like this for the kids, it makes me feel like I'm doing a really great job as a mom... and the kids love it too!
