You heard me right. The kids are outside playing and Robert walked in, sat down and started watching iCarly. Lol. And that show is so lame. If you wanna watch a tween show then at least go for Wizards of Waverly Place. Those kids are hilarious!
Now Parker is obsessed with the possibility of having to get his tonsils out. I should have been more careful when I spoke with the doc about it because he never misses a beat. For example... Parker hates to get his throat swabbed. He DREADS it. After the PA looked at his throat he was sure it was Strep and didn't want to do the test but I had him do it anyway because I wanted proof for the pediatrician so they can refer to it when making a decision about taking out his tonsils. So later that night I heard Parker telling Robert that the doctor didn't want to do that to his throat but 'mommy made him do it!'. Lol. How sad. Now he will never trust me again!

My poor baby at RediClinic. He started getting sick last night but is already way worse then Carson or I. He is so fragile. :(
We tried to make it to the pediatricians Saturday hours that ended at 1:00 and got there at 12:57 and the door was already locked. Rrrrrrrr...
Thank goodness for RediClinic's at your local HEB! :) Now we are just waiting on the flu test results. If no flu then we will move on to Strep... Which he just had a few weeks ago.
I think a tonselectomy might be in our near future...
All bright-eyed & bushy-tailed - ready for a night out on the town!
SPECIAL OPS Ninja... Not to be confused with a REGULAR Ninja!
Skulls & Stars Fairy/Pixie/Butterfly. We are not really sure what it is. But it rocks the house with a microphone!
Superman. Getting ready to fly to the next house...
Making our way from house to house...
Back home after some rigerous trick-or-treating with full bags and heavy eyelids...
It was all worth it when they dumped out their candy bags! Just your average all-american Halloween candy pile...
Robert and I were cracking up laughing because their favorite thing - and the thing they all started eating first was the bags of fruit snacks. And at one point Parker yelled, "Oh mom! I got a bag of pretzels!" Lol.
And they gave me a hard time for trying to be healthy and give out pencils...
Thanks for Nanu keeping me on task! She wouldn't let me rest until I got the Halloween pics posted! :)
Oh! And I can't forget to post pictures of Demi's glittery pixie hair from front and back. She wants mom to see it...
This morning my brother found out that he passed the New York State Bar. Way to go Jim! I am sooo excited for you! What a huge accomplishment!
And not only did he pass he got a very high score! The world is your oyster!
All his hard work and dedication has lead him here...
...where this week he will be going to Manhattan to look for a bad ass place for him and his wife Melissa to live. To say that I am jealous is an understatement. :)
And I can't close this post without mentioning his wife Melissa's new job. She has just accepted a position at a hedge fund in Greenwich, Connecticut. Yet another example of what hard work, good grades and a great education can do for you. The will live in the city and Melissa will work in Greenwich and Jim will work in Morristown, New Jersey.
Fun stuff! I can't wait to come visit! And again, congrats to you BOTH!! :)
My mom just sent me this in the mail. I love it and it makes me want to decorate for Christmas stat!! Is it too early? Lol.
My mom collects Santas and I collect Snowmen so she is always lookin' out for me.
Thans mom!
I never watch the news in front of the kids. Ever. I don't want them to see and hear all the depressing stuff going on in life and have total anxiety about it like I did when I was younger. But earlier tonight it happened to be on and I didn't think about it. The next thing I know - Parker is sitting on the coffee table watching and yells to me, "Mom! There are elections going on!"
I told him it was not an election for the president like last time, but a smaller election for different leaders like mayors and governors and stuff. He then said, "Oh mom! I know what a mayor does. He is the principle of the city." Lol. He is so hilarious.
So that brings us to now... I just heard Parker say to Robert, "I am going to start watching the local 2 news." What!? He is only 6! :) He is so funny! And the thing that is the funniest about it is that he is totally serious and would recall everything and repeat it back to me 2 days later after he pondered it. That's Parker in a nutshell right there!
The kids had Red Ribbon Week at school last week. Every day had a theme that went with some cute slogan about saying no to drugs. Here are a few cute pics:
Favorite Team Shirt Day - 
Silly Sock Day -
Take a look at these bad boys... They are the best. I was trying to find some socks for Parker at midnight in Walmart the night before and it was near impossible. All of the 'silly socks' were girly. But then a little beam of light shone down on these beauties on my way out. A little divine intervention... Yea! Parker loved them.
Demi had decided well in advance that she wanted to wear one long and one short sock. It is funny how much the little things are so exciting to kids.
Penny & Cap Day -
Parker kept telling me, "Mom. We have to bring pennies for REALLY, REALLY sick kids."
The other 2 days were School Spirit Day (they wore their school shirts) and Slipper Day (they got to wear slippers).
Parker - 1st Grade - 6 years old
Demi - 4th Grade - 11 years old
The kiddos got their school pics today. We decided to go the skater/grunge look this year. I am sure my mom is thrilled! :) I even paid extra to get the 'distressed shadow frame' around the outside of their pictures. Lol.
Demi loves hers because I let her wear her hair down. And she wonders why Parker never 'shows his teeth' when he smiles in pictures. :)
...and taking matters into her own hands. Reading Carson a book about potty training...
Gooble Gobble and all that good stuff...
This is not a very healthy working environment... Carson keeps putting this on my desk...
Carson picked out his very own jammies last night. Can you tell? And - he is loving his new slippers! :)
It's a busy time of year. A birthday party last night. A birthday party today. Halloween tonight. And a birthday party tomorrow. Busy, busy, busy! :)
I understand it is campy on purpose but it still scares me a little bit. Lol. It just seems kinda weird to have a old school David Bowie type or an alive Freddie Mercury type kickin' it in present day. I guess I have to just appreciate his attempt to bring it back. If there is anyone who can pull it off it would be him. I kinda think he is brilliant. Sort of like a savant that way.
Here is a close-up for you... In all his glory... 
I CAN'T WAIT to hear it!
