Here It Is

My boy is already drooling looking at this chocolates. He said he will grab a lot tomorrow and put it on his bag lol. I will be watching them so close tomorrow to make sure they don't eat to much chocolates and candies. It will be hard but, I have to do it. We are going to have a big argument about it I'm sure.

Most of the time we end up with too much chocolate and candies after awhile I just throw them away. I am not into chocolates and candies so, hubby and the kids are the one who is eating them. I will be the watcher hehehe. Getting do late in here now I am done baking so it's time for me to go to bed. Good night everyone...

Ready For Tomorrow

We are ready for the Halloween tomorrow. I am working on the dessert right now. The kids want me to make a confetti cake for Halloween. Also I am making egg custard. I need to cook the rest tomorrow. I just bought a cookies at the store tonight so I don't need to bake it. Chocolates are also in the big bowl waiting for the kids tomorrow.

I am trying to save some money on our savings account right now. I am going to apply for citizenship soon. Anyway the kids will be so tired on Monday because of the Halloween. We are going to try to be done by 9pm tomorrow. That way it won't be too late for the kids to go to bed. We are going to bed early tonight we have to get up early to go to the boat storage to pay. The kids doesn't want to go to bed yet. They want to stay up and watch TV.

A kid friendly kitchen

Guest post written by Josh Currant

We have our first baby on the way and even though we have three months left until she gets here, we're doing our best right now to make sure that we have everything in order for her arrival. We're putting the finishing touches on the nursery but we thought that since we're almost through with it that we'd concentrate on other parts of the house that we could make more kid friendly when we have the time (and our sanity) now.

I thought that one room that we needed to switch around would be the kitchen, so I looked up some more info on what I could have done to the kitchen. We ended up getting some new appliances, including a flat surface stove so we don't have to worry about little hands poking fingers into the burners. Also, We got our oven moved further up into one of our cabinets so that it would be harder for a little kid to reach up to it and open the door. Hopefully all this work will make the time to the delivery go by faster!

Another Picture Of Eggplants

I just took another picture of my eggplants in the backyard. This time I have more eggplants coming out. Its such a joy to see your plants growing. I can't wait to do my second harvest. Anyway it is so hard to type in here while I have a little boy sleeping on my shoulder.

He must be so tired at school today. His head is getting really heavy on my shoulder lol. How we are going to leave with this when he is sleeping. We are going to eat dinner late again today. We have to go to the store and pick up something to eat for dinner. Since my son is asleep we have to wait for him to wake up before we go otherwise he will be so grumpy.

Looney Tunes

Thanks to Jonathon Woods

What ever happened to Looney Tunes? When I was a kid, it seemed like you could turn it to like 5 different channels and watch Looney Tunes. Those were and still are some of the funniest cartoons ever created. Now you would be lucky to see them on basic cable, and you normally have to watch Looney Tunes on satellite TV from tvbydirect.com.

I think Looney Tunes was one of the best cartoon ever. I wish that kids these days could still watch them. Now the cartoons are all trippy and hardly make sense. Looney Tunes always followed a plot and had hilarious slapstick comedy for both kids and adults.

The reason Looney Tunes isn't played anymore, is supposedly because it is too violent for children. This seems a little ridiculous to me and I seriously don't understand how they can not play Looney Tunes but still play some of the crazy shows they do. Looney Tunes wasn't THAT violent. It was mainly slapstick comedy. Sure, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck were constantly getting shot at by either Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam, but it was all playful.

I really wish that they would bring Looney Tunes back. Sometimes I will see a Looney Tunes marathon playing on Cartoon Network but it seems like it only happens one day a year. Let's hope they return one day.

Flooring

I have been bugging hubby to change the flooring in our kitchen. It's getting too old and I don't like it that much anymore. So now we are in the process of checking out store and comparing prices. Last night we browse around the online and found the glasstilestore.com. They got a lots of stuff that are very nice. Now we are planning to put Tiles in the kitchen floor. I think Tiles would be good it makes my cleaning a lot easier.

If you are like me looking for tiles check out their website today. They have Subway tiles and more. You can also check out the their closeout and on sale stuff. Anyway I need to get up and start cleaning my bathroom. I am not feeling really well but I have to get up and do it today. I don't want to wait for another day to do it.

I can use a hand right now but, everybody is out in the house. So, that means I have to do it all myself. Being a stay at home mom is so hard and so much stuff to do. How much more for those moms that work and still do all the house chores alone.

The Pumpkins

Here is the result of our first time pumpkin carving. The whole family had so much fun doing this. So, we are now planning to do the pumpkin carving every year. My son was so happy that finally we did that. He is been waiting for us to start carving the pumpkin since last week. Finally last weekend we did it. The part that has more work on carving pumpkin is the cleaning the inside.

The kids got so tired after cleaning the big pumpkin. I end up finishing the other two. Then of course after the carving part we put candle inside and it was awesome. The kids really like it. Tonight I need to put those pumpkins outside. The kids keep it in the counter.

Not Much Sleep

I did not have much sleep last night. The kids gave me their colds my throat was hurting and I also cough a little. I hate it when I'm sick I can't do much stuff around the house. Today I need to scrub the two bathrooms. I been planning to clean the two bathroom for days now and today is the day. I have to hop in the treadmill first before starting the cleaning.

Yesterday I moved all my herbs plants indoor. I will keep them in the screen room for the winter. We like to eat fresh veggies, it is always good to keep yourself healthy. Specially for me I have two kids to take care. I always try things to keep myself more healthier. I can't afford to be sick. So, I have to keep on taking my vitamins to help me boost my immune system. Cold weather is coming and the kids starting to bring home colds that they caught from school. Then now they transfer it to mommy.

Did Some Shopping

We just got back from the store hubby was looking for a timberland pro steel toe boots. But, he did not found one that he likes. So, we are going to look around in the other stores. We don't have much time to go around on the other store today because tomorrow is back to school for the kids. The three day weekend that we had went by so fast. Tomorrow we are back to normal again.

While in the store I got myself a couple of levis 501. I love those jeans it last a lot longer compare to other brands of jeans that I had before. I also got hubby the Levis 514. Most of his pants now are levis. Anyway my kids are reading books right now. I need to get up and do some book logging for them.

We Carved It

We had so much fun with the kids yesterday. We carved 3 pumpkins and it was really fun and messy. The hardest part is the cleaning inside the pumpkin we have to scoop everything out inside. My son was the one who did not surrender with the job. My daughter left us after awhile she doesn't like to get her hands dirty lol. She was excited at first but when she saw all the work she went to her room and watch TV.

My son help all the way to the end. On Wednesday will be carving pumpkin again at school for my son's class. He can't wait for us to do that. I got a bunch of pumpkin seeds now I dry them all then later I am going to roast it. It's my first time to roast a pumpkin seeds I don't know if it's going to turn out okay. We have to see I guess. Have a happy Monday everyone! I will be posting some photos later.

My Favorite Reality TV Show Is The Biggest Loser

Guest written by our friend Jan Petersen

Reality TV has come a long way from where it first began. My favorite Reality TV show is The Biggest Loser. This show offers it's contestants a way to lose weight. These people are pretty big and seeing the way that they are able to transform is amazing.

It's nice to be able to watch The Biggest Loser on my direct tv packages family; this allows me to record it and fast forward through the commercials. The show has inspired me to begin a workout program and to eat healthier. My favorite trainer is Jillian, she is really tough on the competitors, but they work extremely hard for her.

For the most part the contestants seem to get along and root for each other. I prefer that to when they fight and back stab. This show is there to support them in living a healthier lifestyle. The challenges are fun, although I'm glad to be watching them as opposed to participating myself. The challenges look really hard. The food challenges that are provided would definitely temp me.

The show gives them advice on how to dress; I have taken some of these tips to use for myself. It's nice that at the end of each show, they let you see how the person who had to leave is doing. They look so nice with their weight loss.

Wig

Trying a wig at the Halloween store. Both of my kids had fun trying on wigs. My son was the one who started it. Then of course the sister followed. I also took a picture of my son I put it in my other blog. I had a busy day today but, nice day. My friend's son was with us almost all day. We really had fun playing with the baby. He was a good baby all he do was giggling a lot.

I love to watch him because he is such a good baby. I hope to spend time with him again soon. So late mow and I am still awake our son is already sleeping. While my daughter is wide awake. She is still watching TV. It's okay because there is no school tomorrow.
