We are Here! We are Here! We are Here!

(for those of you who didn't catch that, it's a quote from the current favorite movie in our household Horton Hears a Who.)

but, we are here. i haven't had time to post much because we have been busy! between work, school, the boy's school, richard's work, keeping up with shorty girl......it's exhausting! other than the above mentioned things, i have started christmas shopping for the kids and have found some really cute stuff! i have been going to the thrift store and finding some real deals. luckily the kids don't care where the toys come from (for now....) so i can still save a boat load of money on toys for them. and clothes!

took the kids to sea world for a trick or treat street thing - it wasn't all that good. they got 3 pieces of candy each and it was all hard candy. we waited in line for about 20 minutes, which wasn't horrible i guess...but we also went to a sesame street halloween show and they loved that. we walked around the park some more and got home at 10pm. that is late for them and i was hoping they would sleep in the next day........but, no. shorty girl was still up at 640am. the early bird gets the worm, right?














we went for a walk last nite and it was nice. the kids loved walking through the new houses and picking flowers.











for those of you who 'really' know me, notice their outfits? i actually didn't mind the fact that the aren't matching!
