THe cutest lion EVER!

Need I say more? Dominic will be a lion this year for his very first Halloween!!! He is the cutest little lion ever!!! All I want to do is kiss those adorable cheeks!!! I can't get enough of my baby boy!!!

Yep, it's a LIVE chicken on his head!

LMAO! Today at school, Joey was able to visit a petting zoo. Actually, the petting zoo came to Joey's school for their Halloween party. Ms. Marryann, Joey's teacher, sent me this picture. It is hilarious!!!! The title of her e-mail was "Yes, that is a chicken on his head". ROFL. It just cracks me up. Look at his beautiful eyes in this picture. Ohhhh...I love em!

We all know how I am deathly afraid of birds...or any type of animal with wings, so this really makes me laugh!

There is also a picture of the pumpkin he SCARVED (Joey's way of saying carved) at school. The 8th graders at school came to help the Pre-K class scarve pumpkins. Joey drew the picture on the pumpkin and the bigger kids scooped the guts out according to Joey.

Hailee is 11!!!!!!

Ahhh...my big girl!!! My Lee Lee turned 11 today. It kills me to think how "old" she is. Gone are the days of her asking for cute little toys, and innocent "kids" music. Now it's MP3 players, Johnas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, make-up and everything else that is "almost grown up". I see her innocence slipping away more and more each day. WHY can't we put them in a bubble and make them stay young and innocent forever???

Hailee, we are so very proud of you! You are such a good girl, with a very good head on your shoulders. Not only do you succeed in school, but at everything you do. You set your goals and you are very determined to reach each one of them. You have a heart of gold and will give the shirt off of your back to help anyone who needs it. I hope you keep these fine qualities all of your life. You are beautiful, kind, loving, smart, and very sympathetic to others. You make sure everyone else is taken care of before you worry about yourself. You are extremely giving.

You will always be my baby girl...no matter how old you are. I love you baby!!!!!


Oh...by the way...notice the cake. 3 5 3. That equals 11. I totally fogot the candle. So, you have to add the numbers up. That's was John's bright idea! ROFL!

Hanna

Poor Hanna Banana, she hardly ever makes it to the blog. She's my princess. I finally got her to sit still long enough tonight to get a picture of her!!! She was all smiles waiting for a piece of Hailee's birthday cake!

Joey's class

This is Joey and his entire PreK class. He can only name 3 kids in this picture. WHY doesn't this boy even TRY to remember names???? Today they made spider hats. I love his school. His teacher e-mailed this picture to all of us. How awesome is that???

More Halloween Pictures

The group picture is Vince & Leah (Expecting baby girl #4 Jan 2nd), Tony (Joker) and Amy (Fat Bat). Vince is Angie's older brother and Tony is Angie's little brother. The next picture is Angie and Doug...I picked the right people to be Dominic's God Parents didn't I? LOL! Angie and Doug are expecting baby #5 ANY DAY NOW...a baby girl, their 2nd girl) Doug was the bar tender, so I blame him for any and ALL trouble I got into that night!!!!

A close up of me and John.

Halloween 2008

John was obviously an old lady. I was a Harlem Fat Girl. ROFLMAO!

Here are lots of pictures from the event. Angie was just a pregnant lady (already in costume) and painted her eye black like Doug hit her. Doug was a thug. Cindy and Chris were Batman and Robin. More pictures to come...I'm waiting on Angie to send me some.

Time to make the pretzels!

Joey's preschool class was taking a trip to Germany this month. So, on Thursday, they made pretzels. It looks like it was a lot of fun and Joey couldn't wait until I came to pick him up to tell me he had a cinnamon pretzel. He then explained that the pretzel didn't taste like our dog Cinnamon, but a dessert cinnamon. Uhhhhh, when does this boy lick my dog to find out what she tastes like? No more good night kisses for him...I'll just shake his hand or something. LOL!

Joey's teacher, Miss Maryann, e-mailed this picture to me. It really does look like he had a great time!

Happy Birthday Joey!

Joey turned 5 on Saturday. October 11th. He thanked me for giving him a birthday. Not a party...he didn't really have one...he thanked me for the BIRTH DAY! I had to laugh out loud at that. I gave him a big hug and said I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Here is Joey with Frisbee. Frisbee is Ms. Maryann's birthday puppy at school. Ms. Maryann is Joey's teacher. She gives the students a puppy to pick from (she has 2) and a big birthday bag full of birthday books for the child to keep for the weekend of his or her birthday. It's such a great idea! Joey was sooooo surprised and excited to find a Thomas book in the bag. Who woulda thunk it?

Since his birthday fell on a Saturday that we bowl in our league, I got a Thomas cake (4th one in a row now) and we sang happy birthday to him there. We bowl with Angie and Doug and a whole bunch of people from their neighborhood, so Joey was surrounded by his friends. Kelly, Chris, Jessie and A.J. came too and we all bowled a game after our league was over to celebrate. Joey said it was the best birthday party ever. LOL!
