MAYAN MADNESS!

They were dancing in their traditional garb... The feathers alone were beautifully stunning! It was sooo crowded but we managed to have tons of fun ~ with this big belly we got off to a good start with a parking spot right by the door!

We made beaded necklaces with Mayan symbols, boats on sticks... sculpted clay and took in all the sights & sounds...

My favorite men... big and little...

I heart days with the fam!

WORLD SERIES RANGERS?

We made it to the last game of the season~ Let's just say the boys are hard core

Ranger Fans!

We stuffed our faces with hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn and cheese fries~ we went to the far end of the field so the boys could hit balls... waited in line forever~ totally worth it! Left with full tummies and happy boys with funny memories. My fave? Cooper feeding the ladies in front of us popcorn from out of his mouth~ & they were loving it!!

So it has started~ night games with boys up late ~ high fives and yells ~ yes, Coop is into it big!~ Claps his hands "Let's go Rangers!" Here we go... and yes they have been getting a thrill at ganging up on Yankee Mama Fan!~ Christopher says I should have learned my lesson!~ I almost want them to go to the series just for my boys!~ Now that's LOVE! . Five Good Things

1. black olives with homemade ranch dressing
2. mini cucumbers with homemade ranch dressing
3. pineapple lifesavers
4. black Tazo tea
5. sweet Baby Boy to give me such yumm cravings!

PUMPKIN PLASTIC SURGERY

this was the beginning... going pretty well so far except for that fact that I have chosen the hardest, unripe pumpkins in parker county...

still going well... Christopher's stronger partner got the job done pretty quick...

then, nate's pumpkin's face caved in when Daddy tried to finish it, i think by that time i just had a part of a mouth...so....

everyone got a sucker at 9 o'clock (this was taking way longer than I thought) and we all laughed and laughed at Nates' pumpkin... surprisingly enough we were laughing because it looked like a fish mouth and asked him if he wanted to keep a "fish mouth" pumpkin... was worth the try right?

Christopher got bored and added "hair" to his... so christopher... my little builder!...

this is right before he lost his face...

chris did an "ace of cakes" ~ got out the bamboo skewers and went to work!...

ta da!!

at 9:45 we lit them and put them outside... whew!

.

i think we'll always remember these jack o lanterns... and the little punkins who had so much fun... chris & I may have had more fun just watching them!

.

Five Good Things

1. bamboo skewers
2. firsts
3. watching chris save the night
4. forgiveness
5. forgiveness
