NEW POST COMING SOON!

I am so sorry I haven't been my usual blogging self lately. Too many other things are going on in my life right now to spend any time updating my blog. I will hopefully catch up soon, I have so much to tell!

Sleep Over

On Saturday we had Janet over from out of town, and skylar from 2 houses down spend the night. It was fun. Watching Tinkerbell the movie, eating ice cream, playing barbies and eating pizza. At about 10:00 we told everyone time for bed and turned out the lights. About 5 minutes later someone was already crying...it was Skylar she was scared and wanted to go home.

Oh, the first sleepover!

Another Day @ The Herrera's

Well, as I have said in my last post I don't think blogging everyday is going to be too hard for me. We ALWAYS have something going on at this house!

Well the most recent incident:

After this crazy weekend of entertaining birthday party guests, and friends from out of town, I was completely wiped out! So Sunday morning I am sure I was sleeping like a rock, well when I finally woke up... about 7:45/8:00ish, (B/C I had to wake up before Ricky so he wouldn't get into trouble) I go up to Ricky's room to wake him up and he isn't in there. So I think to myself... "Hmmm that is odd where could he be?!" I continue looking, I check Eevie's room, Closets, under his covers in his bed, bathrooms, and so on. So I start getting a little worried. I check in both guest bedrooms (With our guests in there) Still NO Ricky.

By this point I am starting to get FRANTIC! I start screaming out his name, still no ricky. PANIC sets in, I look in the backyard, call his name. I look out the front door thinking to myself "He wouldn't go out front by himself?!"

NOW I AM TERRIFIED, I am crying, I am a nervous WRECK! I was about to call the police... but before I call the police I decided to walk out front and do a slow glance around our street, I notice something move...IT WAS HIM!!! About 4-5 houses down the street! He crossed the street by himself and was standing my someones mailbox crying!!!! I ran over to him as fast as I have ever run. I was crying so bad I could hardly talk! That was the most Horrific thing that has ever happened to me! He unlocked the front door and basically escaped.

Later on when everything calmed down I asked him what he was doing out there by himself? He told me "I was looking for kids to play with."

Security Lock for the front door. (Out of Reach of little hands)

Well the next day when Rick got home from work the first things that went up is a protector lock, and alarms for Ricky's room doors so that when he opens his door we all know. Plus it scares him to hear that alarm so maybe he will stay in his room instead of getting into mischief.

Halloween Birthday Bash

Halloween was so much fun! We decided to throw Eevie's B-day party on Halloween this year since it was a Friday, and we wanted it to be affordable. We had about 12-15 kids Rsvp and over 30 kids showed up! Thank goodness I made tons of Nacho Cheese and had extra punch mix. Eevie was so excited that so many of her friends showed up! They all had a lot of fun bouncing on the bounce house, swinging, and just being silly kids in costumes.

Once again Rick decided to dress up as the same thing he is every year for Halloween and for work... You guessed right. A Fireman! (How original?!)

Here are some of the kids in their costumes. We should've had a contest! There were some really cute costumes! Everyone just looked darling though.

Well, as usual you never know what the weather will be like in Tx for Halloween. This year it decided to be in the mid 80's during the day and only drop down into the high 60's after dark. Poor Ricky was in a Fleece Tiger costume. I guess all the excitement distracted him.

My friends just have the cutest kiddos (Other than mine of course LOL)

Here is PROOF that Rick has fun at our home thrown parties! LOL

GIRLSCOUTS

Yes Folks, This is one of my bestest friends... Crazy...a tad bit odd...sometimes goes out with 2 different shoes on... And has a VERY unusual facebook picture, but she is one of the nicest, coolest, people I know.

Ricky sneaks his way into the girlscout meetings. One day he will be a scout too! Boyscout though.

We finally started girlscout stuff about 4 weeks ago! Yeah!!! This last meeting was really fun as we decorated pumpkins. All the mom's helped and it was really fun for everyone to spend some quality time with their girls. We are looking forward to selling cookies, and visiting nursing homes...

Well maybe not visiting nursing homes, but selling cookies will be exciting!

Fall Fun

Our Mother's Day Out group went to a place called country critters farm for our fall field trip.

They got to pet goats and sheeps, bounce in a bounce house, go through a maze, play tug of war, and lots of other fun stuff... like picking a decorating PUMPKINS!

Everyone was told to pick a pumpkin that they could carry on their own. They all did really good finding their pumpkin then bringing it to the platform.

Week long Birthday Celebration

Celebration #1 Saturday Oct. 25- Family Only (Suzanna is my 1/2 sister-LOL)

Eevie's Birthday was Oct. 29 she turned 7 years old! Wow, how time flies. It seems like just the other day she was just a few days old. N*E*Way, this girl knows how to get her celebrations on!!!

Celebration #2 Wednesday Oct. 29- Actual Birthday

We went to Chili's to Celebrate, Eevie got a free fancy birthday shake (to go) and on the way out dropped it on the ground. So Rick took her back inside to get another one after we say the tears in her eyes building up.

Celebration #3 Friday Oct. 31- Big Halloween Birthday Bash ...To be continued

National Blogger Month

So, supposedly November is National Blogger Month, and everyone who is into blogging is supposed to blog at least once a day the WHOLE month! I don't think I can do it, but I felt like "Eh, I will as much as I can" Well I don't have the time, but I do have enough stuff going on so far to fill up a full years worth of blogs. So "CHEERS TO NOVEMBER!"

Rick's New Wheels

Rick finally decided to get a bike so that he can ride with me and the kids. He hasn't been the greatest of role models on his bike. He doesn't wear a helment, does pop-a-wheelies, and rides in the street! And of course the kids just admire him to the fullest! As most of you know I love biking, so I am very excited that everyone has joined in to do a activity that I really love!

Since Rick has got his bike we have taken a few family bike rides. Around the neighborhood Ricky rides his own bike, and when we are on trails he rides in the trailer.

Skylar plays outside with us quite often. She is our neighbor 2 houses down and Eevie and Ricky's really good friend. Everything was going well, everyone was racing, well when Rick passed Ricky, Ricky got really mad and threw himself into the grass. Long and behold there was an ant mound right under him. Luckily Rick got to him in time. (I am happy that in a time of need Rick moves extremely fast!) Ricky was left with only a few minor bites.
