Wicked!

The weekend before Thanksgiving, we went on a HOT date! We went to Wicked with our friends. It was a good company and a good time! The Wizard of Oz is so much better now! I love when we get to do things like that! If you get a chance, you gotta see it!

Girl's day

We had some fun times last Friday! We had a girls' day. We went to a movie, Planet 51, walked around the mall and then went to Jumpin' Joes Family fun Center.

Aleah liked the movie, Nani is still a little young to fully enjoy those. It was a good thing we got candy in popcorn!

And then the girls humored mommy and walked around the mall until Jumpin' Joes opened. They did a great job too!

And Jumpin' Joes, well, it's ghetto! It's one of those places that is waiting for the last light bulb to burn out and then they'll shut down. Regardless, the girls had fun. For about 2 hours they climbed around the mesh jungle gym that has slides and a ball pit.

It was a good day! I love my babies!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Not that creative

I have to say, all these projects/ideas are not my own. I don't want to take credit for these. I'm just a copycat. While I'm looking at blogs, if I see something I like or want to do, I bookmark it. I always feel like I'm the last to see these cool ideas because I see them on more than one of blog. So there you have it, the confession. Ha!

Last weeks crafts

Grandpa was here last week for a dental visit. Matthew passed. His dad survived, actually he better than survived. His dad said it was the best visit to the dentist he has ever had! What a superstar dentist!

While Grandpa was here he helped us with our holiday craft. We gotta have someone responsible to be in charge of the glue gun.

They're supposed to be wreaths, but Aleah decided to make hers a crown.

Another day we did pipe cleaner crafts. Daddy's cat was a big hit. We made flowers and a caterpillar too. We all loved it.

Magnet paper dolls

Step 1: Aleah cutting clothes and people out of magazines.

Step 2: Mommy sticks them to a sticky magnet sheet.

Step 3: Aleahs dresses a little person

Step 4: Nani dresses little people.

It's on a magnetic dry erase board so the the girls can draw on arms or legs, or whatever else they think a person might need. Lately they've just been tracing the clothes.

Having fun

We scored with 90% off halloween costumes! These were only $2.

Yes, They did pick them out themselves. Nani likes the bones and Aleah likes sparkles. The sparkles ended up all over the house and all over us.

Another one done!

It's done, 9 months later. Hey, I could have had a baby by the time I got around to doing this. Oh wait, my friend, whom this is for, did. How funny! Sometimes I make myself laugh!

Happy Birthday Great Grandma

Last week was Great Grandma Rios' birthday. On Friday we went to visit her in Manhattan, KS, after Matthew finished work. It was a really quick visit, but we were so happy to be able to make it. Aleah had started coughing the day before and it wasn't too bad. The next day it was a little more and by the time we got to Grandma's she had a fever. Aleah wasn't into to taking pictures that night so we don't have very many. Here are a few.

She had to look cute to go visit Great Grandma, so that morning I put a big green juicy apple on her shirt to match the buttons on her skirt. I love it!

She thinks she is so funny making her grumpy faces.

As you can see, Aleah isn't feeling very well.

These a some pics on the yummy dessert Matthew made. I don't remember what it's called, but it's Angel food cake, some chocolaty whip, cherries and a little chocolate syrup.

Great Grandma we love you and we were happy we were able to visit.

Happy birthday!
