Wannabe Holly Homemaker

Yes I admit I'm trying to be a creative momma this year by making my kids costumes. Who the hell was I fooling I can't sew worth crap. So thank goodness my best friends mom can and she is sewing Ashlyn a beautiful Lil Red Riding Costume and I am still putting together Aidan's costume myself. He wants to be the Scout from Team Fortress 2 other wise known to Aidan as the "Catch It". Don't ask where he got that name from cause heck if I know. The darn scout looks like a baseball player to me, but if I even mention he's a baseball player Aidan gets angry. So let's see how he does on Halloween when everyone says "Oh your such a cute little baseball player". I already know my son is going to correct each and every one of them. Poor people if you only known how stubborn my son is.

On another note I took the kids this pass Sunday to the pumpkin patch and they had a blast. We went with the in laws and thank goodness they came, because there's no way I could of done it all by myself. First off I forgot to bring the stroller so carrying Ashlyn was ok at first but my arms were dying by the end of the day. I don't mind her walking around but my children seem to think its funny to run away from mommy, and if Ashlyn sees any kid of animal she's running towards it. That girl is a true animal lover, I've never seen a kid scream with joy every time she's sees a dog or a cat. She's my lil Dr Doolittle. So back to the pumpkin patch the kids went to the petting zoo and had a great time with the billy goats and chickens. We ate yummy roasted corn on the cob covered in butter. So good but sooo not good for my cholesterol or diet.

Here's are some pictures from our lil trip to the pumpkin patch and hopefully next week we will be heading to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween.

Boo Hoo I got the Flu

Well the flu has made a full circle in our household. It all started with the hubby, then the kids and now me. I seem to think I've got it the worse, since I've been sick for over a week now. I finally went to the docs yesterday, he wasn't so happy I waited a week to come see him but with our crazy schedule that was the earliest I could fit it in. He said the flu has been hitting people pretty hard this season and will continue to do so until March. So I'm hoping after the meds he gave me it will start to nip things it the butt, because these headaches and bouts of nausea are horrible. I almost feel like I'm preggers again which I'm NOT lol!!!!

Oh did I forget to mention we went to Disney World a few weeks ago. Oh boy did we have a blast. This year we stayed at The Wilderness Lodge and I'm pretty sure that's where we will be staying from now on. Its absolutely gorgeous and it has everything you need right there in the hotel, from a convenience store to a 4 star restaurant. The pool they have at the resort is perfect, there is a 1ft deep kiddie pool and a big pool with a slide which Aidan really enjoyed. He thought he was such a big boy riding the slide all by himself.

We experienced all 4 parks while we were there and just kind of took it at our pace. This year Aidan decided he wanted to be a bog boy and not have a stroller, which was fine by us until he decided towards the end of the days he was too tired to walk. Oh boy a 3 almost 4 year old sure is mighty heavy to carry from the theme parks back to our resort.

Towards the last couple days of our trip my parents came in to spend some time with there grand babies and the kids were thrilled to see them. Since they have moved to the East Coast we don't get to see each as often as we like. We had a great 2 days with them and they spoiled the munchkins with lots of toys, that we had a hard time fitting into our suitcases coming home. But rest assured all the lovely stuff animals made it safely might have been a little crammed and smushed but they made it. Well its time for me to take my meds and but the kids to bed. I will be blogging again real soon.
