Halloween Past

A blog is a blog, no matter when it's written.....

better late than never........

This year I decided I would take the kids on their Trick-or-Treating adventure.  It was so funny to see little Sebastian running at times faster then Saffron to the house to grab his little treasures in his new basket (thanks to the Super G's).  Kids had a blast!  We only made it once around the block, that was enough for the both of them.

 "Hey Saffron, you are not Charlie Brown, no rocks, candy!"

 "Come on Saffron, we get daddies leftovers, lets go onto a new house!"

 

One of Saffron's most favorite stops......her teacher Ms. Carrie

My little pumpkin!

Hope everyone had a very Happy Halloween!

 

I'm BACK!

Well, I never really went anywhere, I have just been so busy with work and the kids, that my little family blog has gone untouched.  Many things have happened since I last posted in my blog way back in September (wow that seems so long ago)  

In the last blog, we had taken a family trip to the zoo, in my mini vacation from work, there the deli was moving from Evansville to Oregon.  I was not sure what to expect when I went back to work, the next day.  I guess I would have hoped the business would be better, than in was in Evansville.  My schedules were always iffy, with no guarentee in hours, but I still was paying day care the same rate for two kids, making it impossible to ever come out ahead in pay.  Even so with me going back to work, nothing seemed to change.  Business was the same, the pay was the same, and I was driving 30more miles a day just to get to work.  It was not an easy decision to make, but, I ended up putting in a 6wk notice at work (6wks cause I knew it would take time to hire, and train a new person, yes I'm very kind in that, I only had to give two) it was not an easy decision to make, but we knew it would be best for our family, if I stayed home with the kids from now on.

So here it is, 3wks since I left the deli, and my new adventures can begin!

I guess I never realized how much I missed staying at home with the kids.  It's only been 3wks but it seems like it's been longer than that.  Makes me smile, really it does!  I hope now, with all this new free time, I'm able to keep up with family blog again, because I really enjoy keeping you all posted on our busy lives!

Stay tuned................

 

 

Life's a Zoo

I have really enjoyed my 2plus week vacation from work, and while I was pretty lazy, I did manage to do a few exciting things with the kids.  This weekend we took the kids to the zoo!  I was having too much fun watching the kids enjoy themselves, that I did not take as many pictures as I had wanted to, but here are some I did take!

 Hard to tell in this photo, but a baby is nursing off it's mother!

 Saffron's most favorite animals, the actors from "Happy Feet"!!

 and as the zoo adventures end, this is how the kids looked.....

completely and utterly exhausted.....

The Un-Bed Room

This is going to be a really quick post tonight.....

Look at Saffron's beautiful bedroom set up,

then where she actually decides to sleep each night....

sigh........

 

Super Party Sunday

and so the Birthday celebration continues.....

Saffron got to celebrate her Birthday with her preschool class on Thursday....

her parents at Chucke Cheese's on Friday...

(sorry no pics forgot the camera)

and we continued the celebration into today, and joining us were both sets of Grandparents, and an extra special guest her Great Grandma Viola.  By the time all the party guests left, this is what my little 4yr old looked like.

Not sure who's more tired, her or her new baby doll.....

Let's go back in time, and fill in a few blanks...

Oh, did I forget to mention that my wonderful husband of mine surprised Saffron with a new bike??  Something she was not expecting, and was super excited to open it up!

 

and that's how Friday ended.....

and that brings us up to today....

the actual events that made my daughter soooooooooooo sleepy.....

Nothing like a little wrestling match to get the party started..

A little fresh air before it's present time.

By this time, you can tell Saffrons' about had it opening up presents...

Saffron ran a mini triathlon around the yard,

which included a bike ride, and a water table....

then the princess passed out on the couch....

I can't wait till next years party, 

when she turns 5!
