Chicken Noodle and Pork Butt

 Okay this is a real random post.  I made chicken noodle soup in the crock pot and my son LOVED it.  This says a lot cause he's not even a soup fan but he ate it and asked again for it the next two days.

 Chicken Noodle Soup Yummy!

So Daddy and Wiggles are in Indian Princesses and once a month they go car camping with their tribe. So Dear Hubby signed up to bring dinner one night.  He choose to bring pulled pork. So went the sleepless night.  Well not all sleepless but it sure lacked lots of sleep that night he made it.  I think we were up at like 3am shredding pork to finish at 5am then to have two kids wake up at 6am.  Well the dinner went off wonderfully and the Dad's were so thankful that it wasn't just bought at the store but really bbq'd and shredded personally. Maybe next time I will request that some get left behind so that those left behind can have some too. :)  

Pirate Invasion

 At our new AWANA Group they had a Pirate theme night.  This is what we came up with.  Thanks to my cousin for having a pirate themed 1st Birthday for her son. Otherwise my two pirates would have only had the bandana's on their heads. 

Trick or Treat?

 Well this year the kids went trick or treating for the first time. In past years we've stayed home and passed out candy and gone to a community event at church.  This year we took Wiggles and Monkey trick or treating.  I've gotta say I'm not a big fan of Halloween or even trick or treating.  You tell your kids don't talk to strangers 364 times a year but 1 time a year you go door to door (strangers doors) and ask for candy.  Hmmm   Anyways we took them down our street over to our friends Parents house and then home.  Thankfully our son was not really into it and kept asking to go home.  They got enough candy to fill a Costco size Pretzel container.  I've since told my husband that I'm going to make him take it to work so they can take care of it.  Cause we all know I don't need that stuff around. So here are some pictures of our little walk.  Oh and yes my husband made them ask what the score was on the football game.  Cause he wanted to know.  And my kids were more then willing to ask.  They were the most polite trick or treaters that these neighbors have ever seen.  Pleases and Thank Yous and compliments to the home owners. 

The two ready to go. Iron Man and Princess.

 Last minute I went to the grocery store on Halloween and picked up a pumpkin.  Went online and found an Angry Bird stencil and since Monkey loves them I surprised the kids with this when they got home. 

Walking the neighborhood.  Poor Monkey's mask kept falling so he couldn't see where he was going.  He tried his best the eye slits were just that slits which really when you look it's a miracle any kid would be able to see out of it. 

Ahh yes! Wiggles asked for a piece of candy so I gave her a warhead to try.  Sadly we only had one otherwise I would have had Monkey try one too.  If you like sour that's the candy to try.  I remember as a kid trying the warheads, so I thought it only fair to make mine try them too. :) They had fun with the trick or treating.  I would have done better hanging out at home. 
 

A sunflower for our princess

 This year we have been so busy that we didn't have a regular party for Wiggles.  We ended up doing a quick dinner with friends for her "party".  It was actually really nice and so easy to do. 
 

 

 

 When I asked what kind of cake Wiggles wanted she said a sunflower cake.  Seemed easy enough to me.  So I went out and found a pan and then made the cake.  When I asked Wiggles if she liked her cake she said yeah it looks like mac and cheese color.  LOL  Well I tried to make it look like sunflower shades but I guess Mac and Cheese coloring will work.  They were suppose to be trick candles but we didn't let them flame long enough. Oh well we tried.  Thanks to all that showed up on such short notice!  We had a blast and Wiggles was so happy! 

Harvest Festival

This years school Harvest Festival was on Wiggles Birthday so we had a VERY busy day.  Lots going on that day but we managed to fit it all in with no troubles.  Nani came for Monkey's soccer game, and then stayed for the festival too.  Both Monkey and Wiggles were super excited to see Nani.  Here are some pictures from the Harvest Festival

Here are the kids getting ready for the festival.  Poor Monkey couldn't see out of his mask most the time.  I know your not surprised at all by Wiggles outfit. Our little princess. 

 Wiggles came up to me while I was working a booth and asked for my camera.  I asked why and she said to take a picture.  This was the picture that she had taken.  I thought she was taking the picture not asking someone to take her picture. :)  Too bad the sun was in her eyes.

Here is Monkey with some classmates.  He had lots of fun finding his friends and hanging out with some of them. 

 Here is Monkey taking a hay ride, he didn't look to sure on this ride at first but then he warmed up to it and had fun.

And here is our little princess cashing in her tickets for a chance at a prize and of course candy.

We don't normally take family pictures and trying to get us all sitting nicely and smiling together seems to be getting harder.  So I thought instead of putting in the better picture I'd put the funny picture in.  See we can have fun too. : ) 

Mexican Food Anyone?

While our friends were down we went out for Authentic Mexican food.  It was fantastic wish we could got there more often.  The kids had SO much fun with their friends! 

Little E having dessert! Yummy!!!

It's hard to get two kids to look the same way. Filling up on chips. :) 

M and Monkey eating dessert too. 

J and Wiggles having a conversation about something important I'm sure. 

While the kids are at school....

We recently had some good friends come visit us we had lots of fun hanging out with them. One day while the kids had to be a school we met up with our friends down at Sea World.  It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun hanging with the boys.

J and M waiting for the Shamu Educational Show to start.

 Becky and E man. 

After the sea lion show we got to watch the trainers interacting with them.  It was fun to watch.
