Okay, it's the end of the year and I'm just now writing about October! So you can say I've been a little busy these days. Holidays are chaotic - wait, that's not a good excuse - Life is chaotic!
Brayden is growing by leaps and bounds. Lauren is settling down *a little*, Lexie is beginning to kiss boys in school (she's in Pre-K) and Bella is starting to get a wiggly tooth.
Bella & Lexie are doing AWESOME in Soccer this year. Bella usually scores a goal or two each game. Lexie did get a chance to score this month as well as so we had two super stars amongst our family!
We went to the Pumpkin Patch this year with Lexie's preschool class. Yes, I ventured to take 3 small children ALL by myself to the patch. For the most part, it was easy. Lexie's classmates helped keep her busy and I knew where she was at all times. Brayden stayed in the wagon for the most part. Lauren - well, we finally found her and she's at home safe again. ;-)
Milenko's godparents (also known as Kum & Kuma) had their 50th wedding anniversary. They rented a room at Francisco's in Oakland and we had a wonderful time. Milenko and I got to use our dressy clothes for another event besides last month's reunion - wahoo!
Each of the girls got to carve their own pumpkins. Actually, they got to scoop all the icky crap out of it. Bella wanted to save all the seeds so we could grow pumpkins in the backyard until Milenko told her that Beamer would pee all over them and the pumpkins would smell like a toilet. (He wasn't far from the truth in that one either!) No, I haven't sported a new hairstyle - I was still dressed in my Pajama Day outfit from the Halloween parade earlier that day.
Of course the biggest part of October is always Halloween. The kids all picked out their own costumes this year. Bella was Barbie from Diamond Castle, Lexie was Barbie Mariposa and Lauren was Jo Jo the Clown from Disney. We went Trick-or-Treating with the neighbors behind us. We usually go just around the neighborhood. It was the first time I've ever experienced RAIN on Halloween - EVER - and I've lived in this area my entire life! We had umbrellas and so nothing stopped the fun of going door to door for those girls. (Daddy stayed home and passed out candy while Brayden passed out!)
Now I've got to try and write another blog all about November - Bella's birthday is the highlight there! :-)
