Halloween... Something Pretty....

As I think back to the years of the past, Megan & Nicole have never wanted to be anything ugly for Halloween. They have been witches, but they were pretty witches. They have been angels with wings, brides, etc, but it's always been something pretty.... :) Something just don't change.

Here's Nicole before she left for a Halloween party.

Yazmin (pictured on the left) and Megan had work to do. They were beautifying themselves. LOL These girls didn't go anywhere for Halloween. Instead, they stayed at the house. They did have other teenagers come over & they played games, laughed, and made a lot of noise.

Gotta love these kids! :)

By the way, these girls were posing with the tweezers & the Nair. :P

Watermelon

Those of you who know me well, know that my favorite fruit is watermelon. During the summer, we would sit outside & eat watermelon in the evenings. While we were out eating watermelon in the back yard, we would pour the seeds & extra liquid in the yard. So, guess what grew in the back yard! Yep, a watermelon plant grew! We really didn't pay much attention to it until today, and Kevin decided to uproot the plant & get rid of it. To our surprise, there was this little tiny watermelon. (Look at the size compared to a pen.) Isn't it cute! Of course I cut it open, but it looked more like a cucumber inside. It did, however, smell like watermelon. Apparently, it still needed to go and mature. :D

The Acevedo's Visit

Emilia (my sister), Pancho (her hubby) & Carmen (my niece) stopped by to visit today. Even though their visit was very brief, I thoroughly enjoyed it. We ate, talked and laughed until 1:30 a.m. We laughed so much that my face became sore from all of the laughing. It was so good to have these family memebers visit. There's only one bad thing; it makes me miss my family much more. I can't wait until Thanksgiving to see everyone in Texas.

Oh, and I am mad at Kevin. Just so you all know, Kevin didn't want to help me take pictures.

:( We put the camera away & said we would take more later, but we never did. THANKS A LOT, Kevin.

Sunday Day

I can't believe that I slept in until 1030 this morning! Now, THAT'S exactly what weekends are for. Since we went to Mass yesterday, we had the day to do whatever we wanted, so I got up, showered and got ready with Megan. We chatted, shared makeup & enjoyed the rest of the morning. After everyone was ready, we went to lunch at TGIF's. It was actually pretty good, although we hadn't been to a TGIFs since our trip to New Orleans back in 2004. Later, we hit the mall.

At the mall, Kevin & I decided to let the girls look around, and we did our own thing. We went to my favorite (Cinnabon) and went to several stores. After a while, we grew tired & sat down to watch people go by. As we sat there watching people go by, I examined Kevin's "Five Finger" shoes just a little closer..... hehehehe.....They are kinda neat. (See picture below.)

Here's Kevin showing off his shoes.

Can you tell we were entertaining ourselves while we waited for the girls? :) I'm happy that Kevin came with us to the mall. If he wouldn't have come with us, I would have been sitting by myself while the girls shopped. I actually thought that Kevin would have rather been home watching the Dallas Cowboys play. He did mention that he would rather be with us. :)

Unique Pumpkin

On our trip to Walmart today, we decided to check out the pumpkins. Eeewwww....this pumpkin really caught our eyes. It's definitely unique. And, NO, we didn't buy it. Just looking at this pumpkin makes me itch and think of warts or some type of fungal growth. YUCK!

So Behind on Blogging!!

OK, so I haven't been blogging like I have been wanting for several reasons. The biggest reason I haven't been blogging is because I have been SOOOO tired lately. When I get home from work, I'm usually exhausted & want to walk before it gets too late. Then, there are other days in which, I just wanna EAT. So, I skip the walk, eat, shower, and then get lazy on the couch. :/ I would say that I have gotten lazy, but that wouldn't be right either; there's always something going on or I'm just beat. So, ..... I blogged yesterday, and will try to finish up some of the blogs I started but never finished or published. Maybe now I get get back on track, because I do enjoy blogging. :D

X Country Meet - Carrolton, GA

Megan's crosss country meet was in Carrolton, GA. So we waited for all the girls to line up & get ready to run. (Pics aren't great because I forgot the camera and used my phone to take pics.)

Brrr....it was cold, but we dressed to keep warm & brought blankets with us.

Here, they were taking off.

We caught a glimpse of Megan running.

Megan's friends running...

In the end, Megan finished her 5k (3.1 miles) run in 22 minutes & 19 seconds.

Megan's friend, Adam, came to the meet with us. Since he was cold, we let him use the Pooh Bear blanket. :D

We were all so happy for Megan & were there to support her & cheer her on.Good times!
