Halloween Wrap up!

I have several upcoming post's but I wanted to wrap up our Halloween 2013!  Last week was such a crazy week! On Halloween day I was up at the kids school most of the day.  First I brought cupcakes to Cooper's class, worked on a few PTA things, and had lunch with both kiddos.  Later that night we went up to the church for trunk or treat.  There were a few carnival games for the kids to participate in but mostly the big kids ran around playing with there friends.  Unfortunately Beckett missed his afternoon nap and was a little moody so Richard and I took turns walking him around in the wagon.  Once the trunk or treat started I stayed at the car to hand out candy and Richard walked the kids around.  I've never had so much fun, seeing all these kids costumes and hearing them say trunk or treat.  I told Richard that I plan to hand candy out next year!  All three kiddos had buckets full of candy!  After we loaded all the kids up we head to my nephews girlfriends grandmothers house apparently the grandmother has a huge Halloween set up at her house.  We drove over there not knowing what to expect and boy were we blown away!  There was so much traffic we had to park a block away!  The entire outside, inside, and backyard of the house was decorated!  Also my nephew and his girlfriend who is expecting in January dressed up in the cutest costume!! Last years Halloween was very special because it was the day we found out what my niece was expecting, but this year was filled with tons of Halloween festivities!  Both last year and this year are Halloweens we wont forget!!

Crazy B

 

Beckett can sure get himself into trouble these days.  I am always catching these silly pictures of him lately.  The other day he was in the bath tube and he kept getting in and out.  He got out but I wasn't done washing his hair.  I slipped on some water and he got away from me and ran down the hall that stinker.  Beckett also loves to sit on the game chair and will push his siblings off just to sit there.  I normally don't take showers while Beckett is awake but this particular day I had no choice.  I set Beckett up with snacks and juice and thought I could take a quick shower.  The door is glass so I was able to keep my eye on him.  Anyway I noticed he laid down and got quiet.  My little guy was so tired he feel asleep.  I was worried if I picked him up he would wake up so I moved his snacks and sippy cup and covered him with his blanket.  The kid slept 2 hours!  I was putting up laundry and I literally almost peed my pants when he walked down the hall and said mama.  Beckett's personality is definitely shinning through these days, even his stubborn side!

Last soccer games and more Halloween fun!

Saturday was as usual a jam packed day!  We started off the day with Allison's last soccer game.  We were playing a pretty good team.  We kept up with the other team the entire first half but the second half the girls gave up.  Three girls were on top of Alli and poor thing got crushed on many occasions.  The other teams coach thought Alli played well and he asked to have her join there team for a tournament this weekend.  Next up was Cooper's last game, my big guy was so over it.  He didn't play that well, kept saying he was hot and tired gezz drama king!  A quick lunch break and the kids were off to there church primary children's practice for there annual program.  After the practice was over we had a two hour break!  The kids watch The Emperor's New Groove and I made a homemade pizza. 

Then we were off again to my mother in laws school carnival!  I love this carnival because they have many fun different type of games!  Cooper loved the Indian maze, he went through it over and over!  Allison's favorite part was the petting zoo!  Beckett liked that too, he kept pointing and saying OHHH and that!!  After the school carnival we headed to Saint Ann's Catholic Church's Monster Bash!  They had a trunk or treat, bouncers, haunted house, and dance/costume contest.  I actually really enjoyed the haunted house it was pretty scary in my opinion but then again I scare easy.  The kids hands down loved dancing!  They jammed it out!!  Although my favorite part of the whole night was getting our picture taken at the spot where my life changed.  Where Richard asked me for my phone number.  Richard's dad took a picture of our family of five at our spot. Such a memorable day.

Random

Life is hectic lately, so many things pulling me here and there.  Here is a few random things on my mind this week.

*Afternoons at the Sanchez house are crazy.

* My kids need to get it together and stop forgetting things in the car when they leave to school.  I have driven back to the there school three times this week to take them lunch boxes, class snacks, school folder.

* The plumber came to look at the leak under the sink in the kitchen an hour earlier then expected.  I am sure he enjoyed seeing my hair in a towel!  I am also sure he enjoyed me scolding him for ringing the door bell four times nearly waking up Beckett from his nap.

* Beckett's afternoon nap time runs into everything else scheduled.  But with out that nap he is a monster!

* The four teeth Beckett is getting in right now are transforming my sweet toddler into a grouchy kiddo.  This mama wants to scream in frustration!

* There are never enough hours to accomplish everything I want or need to get done!  Richard says I never sit, that I find things to do.  Did he forget a mothers job is NEVER done.

* One calendar is not enough to keep up with my kids schedules!  Cooper's in charge of school snacks, Cooper's soccer game was rescheduled to Monday, Allison has piano lesson's on Tuesdays, soccer practice Monday/two on Thursday, Bring the Halloween treat for Cooper's class Friday, Soccer pictures Thursday, PTA meeting, Activity girls changed to Wed, soccer camp changed to Tuesday, Allison's school project, homework home work and more homework!!!

* Phone call to the Halloween company about Beckett's costume, they sent a size 5T and don't have another in his size!  Looks like I am making him a costume before Saturday!

* Did I mention I am sick:( :( :(

* Haven't waxed the floors this week but the laundry is done!

* I have been to the grocery store 3 times this week!  Where is my brain!

* Some how I got talked into being Allison's room mom at school!

* How do I plan a end of the season soccer party around our schedule?


Rant over.  I am blessed, busy but totally blessed!

Two

 

These two are inseparable!!  I know I've said it before but Beckett loves his daddy.  He definitely prefers his daddy over anyone even mommy!  Beckett follows Richard around everywhere, and will cry for his attention.  His favorite word is daddy and has started asking me all day where daddy is.  He puts his hands up and says daddy or dada.  Or he will walk to the front door and point to it.  Some times Beckett will find my purse get the keys and grab my hand then lead me to the door.  One day I had gotten a package and left the front door open but the glass door shut knowing Richard was on his way home.  I was making dinner and Beckett just stood there calling for his daddy.  I guess Richard drove up and I heard a loud bang on the door.  Beckett could see Richard and was just banging on the door as hard as he could.  I have several videos of Beckett calling for Richard as he walks through the house, its so sweet!  I am glad those two have such a special bond, it warms my heart to see Richard raise another one of our babies.

Soccer and fall festival

Saturday was a very fun full day.  Richard worked half the day and I was one busy mom!  That morning I woke up early and made breakfast, got to feed my kiddos good food to give them fuel for the day!  Then I was busy laying clothes etc out for soccer and their costumes for the festival.  Cooper's game was first and he played decent, some times I think I should sign him up for football he is always tackling players!  Beckett enjoyed playing with his Uncle Manuel during the game. 
Next up was Allison's game, Richard barely made it before the game started!  Turns out the other team thought the game started at 3:30 instead of 3:00, so they had to forfeit due to the lack of players.  Which gave us the win, but we decided to play them anyway and the coaches would referee the game.  It was a great game,  they had a pretty good defensive team with a very tall defender!  Allison scored 7 goals and we won 7-2!

After the soccer game we headed to the kids school fall festival!  I am on the PTA and signed up to help coordinate the costume and pumpkin contest.  We had two ladies judge and the rest of us decorated the stage/made posters, and announce the grades and times of the contest.  Very low key for me because I wanted to enjoy the festival with my little family and we did have a great time!!  Allison and her friend Sam went through the haunted house several times, plus the coke toss, and cake walk.  Cooper was everywhere, Richard recorded the funniest video of him riding a bull on the mechanical bull ride!  Beckett just sat in the wagon and enjoyed the view.  The wagon was an excellent thing to bring since the kids won so much candy, toys, cookies, and coke!  I was so bummed when we got home, wouldn't you know Beckett's costume came in the mail earlier that day while we were at the soccer games!!!!!!

Pumpkins!

We went very low key with our pumpkins this year, especially after last years carving fiasco!  I found these little kits at target and thought they would be perfect.  We have a church carving party on Friday so we will be carving one of our pumpkins.  I also glittered a pumpkin already at our front entry way.  I still plan to let Beckett decorate his, because the lil guy fell asleep on the ride home from the pumpkin patch.
