A lot has been going on around here it seems. My best friend is preggers and could use all the prayers possible. She is somewhere around 13 weeks preggers and has been on bed rest since she was 9 weeks. A bunch of different issues are going on and I wont get into them here. Needless to say its been a rough go at the pregnancy. A few more scares than I really care for.
The kids had a good halloween despite all the rain and it being cold. My oldest was a Stealth Ninja, my older daughter was a Punk Pirate chic, my younger daughter was a Bratz and my youngest was Batman. Hubby put on a Burglar mask and I was a Heavenly Devil.. half Angel half Devil. Hubby says there is a lot more devil than angel but I disagree :o)
One thing I have to say I am thankful for of my ex not being in the picture with my son is... I DON'T have to share my son!!! I hate the idea of having to share my babies with anyone on special days. ANY special day. Even as minimal a holiday as Halloween. I get the pleasure of ALL holidays plus every other day. Of course I enjoy the break from my kids, but those are just ordinary days and not for long periods of time. I know a lot of people that have to share their kids on a regular basis and it sucks. I am sure my ex could care less but I am thankful!! I get to pick out costumes, I get to see all the awesome things and see the happiness on my childs face and not have to worry about missing those special times. Sucks to be my ex... HIS loss :o)
Anyways, we went around our neighborhood and one other neighborhood then went to see my grandma. She enjoyed seeing all the kids in their costumes. It was just last Halloween that we took the kids to the rehab center that my grandpa was in to see him and visit with him... and now hes gone. Days like that really hit me hard. The playoffs for the Cardinals hit really hard too. I was used to talkin to him during that time and hubby was always givin him shit that the Astros were going to beat the Cardinals and this yr that is exactly what happened. I did go and put a Cardinals banner by my grandpas headstone though. I need to get a Rams one for him :o)
OK, well on to next subject before I cry.... This last weekend was a busy one. Saturday we did a bunch of running around and went to the Applebutter festival in Kimmswick. Its something that I normally do with my best friend but since shes bed ridden hubby and the kids went with me. Not the same but overall we had a good time. Sunday we watched the football game and got some stuff done and my cousin babysit the kids for me so that hubby and I could go to a meeting at Harrah's. We met with some really awesome people, I wont get into detail of that one either since its still in the works and I dont want too many ppl knowing. But needless to say it was an awesome meeting and I really enjoyed the ppl. We had the buffet there at Harrah's. There were 7 of us there. Just 2 women, myself and another lady and we had a blast with the guys. After eating and the meeting we went down to the casino for a while. I lost $30 but still had a lot of fun. Well I guess technicallyI llost $50 but one of the guys fed a $20 into the slot I was playin on. I managed to lose that too :o( Over all it was an awesome time. While we were at the meeting my cousin and aunt took the kids to an indoor playground and wore them out and they also had a blast.
This Friday is my brothers last football game. They only won 2 games, but I think he had a good time playin this year. We will go to his last game on Friday since its a home game. I have made it to 2 of his games and I want to go to his last one. Its senior night so he may not play at all. But either way, I want to see him hold down the sideline :o) He is supposed to come over tomorrow so that I can get pics of him in his uniform before he has to turn all the crap in. I will post some when I get a chance... I also will post a pic of us girls from the wineries that I have not done yet....
