Merry Chrstmas

Merry Christmas! From my family to yours........



The Franklin concert. Matteo made it half way through.He had a missed his nap,so I new that we were headed for disaster...


Frankie didnt want to go.Sometimes the age gap is alittle difficult.Then we stayed in a hotel,that I have tried twice and I have decided i won't be staying there again.But of course since Matteo fell asleep at Franklin. He was all about partying at the hotel and didnt go to sleep until 1am.Yikes!!




Have a safe and Happy Christmas!

My oldest baby

Sometimes I cant believe my first baby is almost 12!!



Here she is around 4 years old.


























Here she is in a picture she took herself and edited. Wearing her first pair of glasses.











Man, I love this girl......

Teach what we Preach

Today Matteo told his sister "put me down freak". And also said a swear to his dad. Needless to say I am less than happy about it and had to put his daddy in a timeout! {Ok,I must admit the freak thing took me by so much surprise,I laughed and hard}.But the swearing not so funny.

A big problem I have found in this house that daddy works away for two weeks at a time and it is getting really hard for him to remember we are not "the guys".He has never been an overly sensitive man,ok not sensitive at all. I make up for the both of us I think. But Matteo is so much more impressionable than Frankie. When she was four and got tricked into saying crap,she almost had a breakdown. Not my little man,it cracks him up and he listens intently for any type of bad word for correcting.I feel like this is an uphill battle that daddy doesn't think is such a big deal.

Matteo is such a handfull{like watching 3 kids},I do note need to add swearing to the mix!But on that not he can be so peaceful....



WHEN HE IS SLEEPING!

Date and glasses

This is me in my new glasses.
I have to tell you,they have caused quite a stir on facebook. My family and friends have been praising the look.But they said if they didnt know it was my page they wouldnt know it was me. I dont think I look that different.I think it is my hair also.
Oh well I have to wear them though,because my left eye has gotten dramatically worse and I just had my old pair for show. I never wore them.
Matteo and I had a great time at Thomas and he got a ton of loot,the guy next to us commented on all his stuff."Boy,you got everything" he said to Matteo.Well he did get alot but I would never say anything that rudely to someone.Because you know what there was a time when I wouldnt have been able to afford any of it,let alone a ticket. So,if I want to do something special for my kids I will. And yes I will admit they have been alittle spoiled lately,but so what.


We topped it all off by a visit to Chukie Cheese the next day on the way home.After a nice sleep in a big hotel bed.Just me and my little guy,it was great.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween,

Woody and the pirate will get ready soon. And Woody actually gets it this year,so he is really excited. It is kinda crazy to have one that wants to go out in a group and one that needs his mama!Be safe out there

Big Date

Me and my best boy are going on a date. No not Joe,my little man. We are heading to Regina for an overnight stay. A hotel with an Aligator(elevator). Dinner and then Thomas The Train live. So exciting. Then some lunch and a little playing at Chuckie Cheese tomorrow.

Should be fun, Frankie and I will go on a Regina date next month to see Twilight the movie.I am actually looking forward to some toddler time and some alone time when he sleeps.

Dreaming

Almost nine months later and Matteo can't stop talking about "Disneyland in California". Money well spent I think.
He even talks about it in his sleep.
I guess Frankie has decided "if you can't beat em,join em".
