Confessions...

Nothing good i'm afraid, or all that exciting :) I absolutely love the a&e show Billy the Exterminator. It's odd, i know. But there was a little boy at the trick or treat in the park last night dressed like Billy!!! Oh how i wish i could talk mine into doing that. It was so awesome!

Now the kids went nuts over the minecraft boxes these kids wore.

We are waiting to get the fun started again... It's been a fun, tiring couple of days! I am looking forward to a restful november!

Halloween

We headed down to the Boardwalk for Boo on the Boardwalk, had alot of fun! Midget wont he Halloween contest and got a gift card! Dinner was on her!
How cute are they?

This kids costume was AWESOME! He transformed!!

Playing around...

We had a nice weekend being lazy, and survived the first week of school. They both did okay getting up early, but it was getting a little grumpier by the end of the week.
Soccer starts in a couple weeks, and then things will get crazy. Midget had a small fire in the cafeteria and 3 firetrucks came, of course with her you never know. She's gotten to the age of telling stories, and she's so good you never know. I guess it's time to whip out the tale of the boy who cried wolf.
Monkey is full on into junior high, and isn't as crazy about it. But he's glad to be there with his friends. Hopefully things pick up for him, it's alot of changes.
Here are some pics of them having fun outside, still need to get midget a bike. They fight over his :)

Such a handsome guy.

Okay, this is him being nice to her, but her not being to sure of riding on the back... but she doesn't want him to know she's scared:)

I love when they get along....:)

She took the doll seat for her bike, and tried to tie it on her scooter, it didn't work to well...

His new favorite spot..

cute kitty..

Halfway through...

the week... This getting up at 5:45 is for the birds! When my kids finally start to sleep late, it's time to start getting up early! We are making it through the week though. They are both enjoying school, socially anyway :) All their friends remembered them, so that was a huge relief. They both miss their friends in Abu Dhabi though :( I miss their friends moms! But they are doing good, and are adjusting well. Well expect one glich, Midget got fired! This is hilarious though, she was the trash queen. How funny is that? The girl who doesn't pick up her trash at home, was voted "trash queen". In charge of making sure things get in the trash. Well she got canned today... After one day... for being too bossy! So she is now the chalk board eraser... Ah the dillemas of the 3rd grade!
Monkey is liking school, i am not liking figuring out what goes where for his school supplies, and he seems to not care one bit. He's just enjoying buying chik-fil- a for lunch, and talking to his friends. We are going to have to work on that a bit....

School time...

So today the kids went back to school. Some more enthused than others. Midget was excited as she had a friend from pre-school in her class. Monkey, not as enthused. But really what 7th grader is? I can't believe my baby boy is in 7th grade! This was the first year I didn't walk him in, and I kept envisioning myself clinging onto his leg as he dragged himself inside. Junior high scares the bejeezus out of me. Would it be bad if i said don't talk to anyone you don't know, don't eat anything i didn't put in your lunch bag, and don't make eye contact? I didn't, i wanted to... Between my mothers horror stories of the drugs and activities kids are doing at his age, i'm going to have nightmares for the next 1o years!
I trust him, and he's a good kid. He's got some friends he's looking forward to, and we'll all survive :)
Loving her hello kitty lunchbox :)

He's posing... :)

All set...

Now, are these two cute or what?

Museum time!

We decided to head off to the museum of science today, and have some fun. It's neat now that they are both old enough to sit through some of the educational things, and care about what they are hearing. We saw the planetarium movie about the Mayan's, and learned a bit about 2012. Monkey thinks it's funny, i hate to say midget was a bit concerned. She kept asking me if the world is going to end in 2012. I said we survived the turning from 1999 to 2000, so just cross your fingers :) Then we made geode's. They got to pick a rock, and the girl cracked it for them. That was neat. Nice keepsake.

Then we headed to the butterfly dome. It's so funny, last time we were there monkey was scared of the butterfly's. It was so adorable, and you can see he's still not to sure. You know how violent and ferocious butterfly's are... Much scarier than zombies!

There was also an egyption part that midget was all about. She did a big section on egypt at school, so she was so excited!

There was a funny little learning part about sand dunes, and how they were made. HA! Beat you to that, I think my kids can teach that lesson!

Midget was a daredevil, again... There was a gyrosphere, and i felt so bad. Monkey was debating, but wouldn't go. So she went ahead and went on her own. Wish dad was here, he might have gone with her!

Love the look on her face here, she loved it though. You can't tell :)

Lastly, here are my cuties!

Woo-hoo...

I got my birthday present early... and i absolutely love, love it! It'll take me forever to learn to use the thing, but it's okay. So my new toy is a canon rebel dslr, the beginner, beginner one. Since my love camera was beyond repair with sand from the dunes. But this thing is amazing!
Here's the car... so pretty.. look at how it catches the shine... please ignore the dirt :)

Handsome little man...

Kit-teh!

smiley girl...

This i love, you can see her little whispies, and her shiny earrings. She is still talking about them :)

The boy had assumed his position.. Until we go get his book he has to read for school ;)

So excited! Now i can take tons of pics!!
