Christmas

We always go to my Aunt's home to celebrate Christmas Eve. Peanut found a stool that had wheels and was pushing it all over the place, until we bought out the flying santa. Peanut would flee at the sight of it. The airplaned Santa has a propeller that words blinging brightly on it and the music blaired loudly"Santas is coming to town". Daddy and his Aunt tried so hard to get him around the toy only to see Peanut trying to run to me. Who knew santa would scare a kid so much. He saw Santa at the Hammonds Candy Cane Festival at the beginning of December, though I did not put him on his lap.

It's a tradition that night to have a white elephant exchange. The funny thing is the hot items besides the homemade quilts are the lottery tickets. People will get ruthless to get those tickets, like taking it from Grandma who is deaf and has dementia. Voltures. All in all, it was a great Christmas Eve.

On Christmas morning Lil' sista woke all of us in my Mom's home up at 5:30 am to open gifts. Peanut still does not get the unwrapping of the gifts part. He started to cry when we put him in the gift bag that was bigger then him. It was the biggest gift bag I've ever seen. He was very tired. Then off to my Aunt's house again for breakfast and celebrations. It was a wonderful time with our family.

Holiday in the Park

For a few weeks since black Friday I lost my voice of course its the week that I have to call everyone it seems sounding like a dying frog croaking. Holiday in the Park at six flags over Texas was awesome it was cold weather but not too cold, we went with my Mom, and Lil' sista(Aunt M). The fatty- fried Twinkies and Smores were wonderful according to Lil' sista and Mr. Incredible I choose the soup choice with Mom.

Mom, Peanut and I sat and listened to performance of christmas music with hot chocolate. Peanut and Mom loved looking at the lights that were performing to the trans-Siberian orchestra. It's always magically fun when your with family. Of couse we pitied the Jackson 5 want-to-bes who were lip singing and wished we could have paid them to get off the stage ASAP. We were glad we could go with Mom and Lil' sista.

Black Friday

I have to admit, Black Friday is the most chaotic shopping day of the year and I love every minute of it. My sister in law whom we will call Princess and I woke up after about 4 hours of sleep to go shopping at 4:30 in the morning. We hit Kohls, target, the outlet stores. I got 70 % off at Children's Place and Ann Taylor loft. I got some great jeans for $12. According to New York times retailers gave average .25 cents cheaper on Friday then on Saturday, but I thought it was worth it. I got sales and the stores were only 10 minutes or less from each other. We shopped from 4:30 to 9 am and I brought donuts home for Mr. Incredible and the rest of the family that did not want to partake in the madness with Princess and I.

We went on a double date with Princess and my brother whom we will call Captain Awesome. We went to a mexican resturant where we were freezing being in the covered patio. We thawed out at Harry Potter 7, which as you know I'm a huge fan of the books. I thought the portrayal of the horcrux where Hermonine and Harry were nude glitter figures did not fit and it was lame. I also felt that the movie lost the storyline from the book which makes it brighter then the deathly situation that is the main theme.

Peanut's Party

So a long while ago, we celebrated Peanut's birth with family and friends. It was awesome. None of our friends with little guys came, but we had a fabulous crowd of grandparents and grandparents to be. Peanut was spoiled!

The decor was Peanut in a tiger costumes with orange and black streamers. His Aunt M, who is gifted with decorations, graced us with her talents. It had white lanterns and yummy food.

When we put his pumpkin cake in front of him to destroy it he stared at Aunt M thinking that everyone was staring at her instead of him. He did not want to eat the cake at all. After Mr. Incredible ate some so Peanut knew that it was meant to be eaten. He put it all over his face looked like the Hulk after that green frosting was spread all over.

Gorditas and Weekend warrior

So our weekend warrior left Peanut and I for not just a day shift but for 2 and a half days. Life always is interesting. Last Harry Potter book club loved it because I got to see my long lost friend from Colorado Springs and her baby. It was the highlight of the night! Love my Harry Potter book club and hoping that we will read a different series together.

Peanut and I went to my dear friend's house on Saturday and I learned how to make Gorditas. Before knowing my friend I thought gorditas were made-up from Taco Bell to sell to the masses. I didn't know they are a real great Mexican food. So we made the corn tortilla using about two cups corn flour and water. Put them on a skillet and cooked them. When cooled down cut them like a pita pocket-delicious. The filling was beans, meat, potatoes, sour cream, cheese and salsa. The salsa was made with 4 tomillas, 3 Jalapenos, 1 onion and 1 tomato roasted then blended added chicken stock cube and some salt, perfection for salsa verde.

Some days you just meet up with people you thought were kind and loving when you first met them but you were grossly wrong and discover that they are careless and rude, Sunday was that day discovery. I had to teach a class and no one to watch Peanut, these two older ladies clearly were annoyed with the thought of my child or any child for that  manner . Crazy and annoying day. I was so glad when we picked up Mr. Incredible.

Apples, Apples, Apples

My dear friend invited us over to get apples from her family tree and juice them. It was awesome, Peanut loved every minute of it. He was going around always with an apple in hand and tried to eat the rotten apples on the ground while chasing the dogs. We got a ton of apples which are beautifully sweet.

We love going to Thai Ginger, Peanut loves the pork dumplings. I'm grateful for the fun times. That is all for now!

Halloween

Peanut was Winnie the Pooh for Halloween and it fit his build perfectly. On Friday we went to the Littleton library and enjoyed the costume parade. Peanut walked all around the downstairs area the longest walking he has done looking like Frankstein holding out his little chubby hands and arms in front of him to balance. The library apparently thought that parents were going to eat all the cookies and drink all the juice so they called out a declaration that the food was only for the children.

Then our dear friend watched Peanut so Mr. Incredible and I could go on a date to Yogurtland which is awesome. Paying 30 cents per ounce, we got about 2 pounds. It was yummy! Then I decided to make a nursing cover for another friend of mine. It would look perfect if I did a straight hem. It still looks good despite my crazy hem lines because its silver and black floral fabric.

The baby shower that I went to that night was excellent. I hate when people tell you other people's problems when you are asking whom someone is. We will call this lady whom I know to much about Lucy. When in acquiring what this Lucy was, I got told the inferitility problems of this Lucy who I can't even tell you what she looks like. So if I meet this said Lucy I know all of her problems medically.

I didn't go to medical school people, so I thought I could avoid conversations like this that make me a hue of green especially about someone I don't even know. But at last the Hulk coloring will remain on my face when people will tell me of their or others birthing problems.

Saturday was the church's trunk or treat celebration, which had a bounce house on the lawn who had the funding or donated that. It was awesome! Peanut fall on the cement trying to walk on a downward slope and got a goose egg on his head. After a good cry was better. We left the party to go to downtown trick or treating which bought a load of candy which we got the Ghostly Dots Movie theater sized from Lola's sugar rush. We shopped and enjoyed the time. After we went to another mall area to trick or treat which was fun to see all the costumes. They even had a dog costume contest.

After that shopping and event we went to the Victorian Halloween celebration in 1860s style at the museum which was the funniest for us. Peanut was chopping on this tiny apple from my friend's apple tree and we went bobbling for apples and through out his tiny one which he cried over until he saw the huge granny smith apple and devoured it. Well it was great to get the candy, Peanut loved it! That is all for now!
