Random pics - our Halloween past



















Random pics of Halloween past.

Yes, I started my boys early taught them to enjoy Halloween and to pick whatever they wanted to be.. My boys were always scary vampiers.

My oldest now 14 does not even want to trick or treat anymore and my youngest 10 thinks he can go trick or treating by himself with his best friend..


(that ain't happening)





















































Take Note:


Happy Halloween



(and yes I have started creating again)


Happy Halloween 2011

Have a safe day tomorrow and don't eat to much

waiting in the car to meet a friend for lunch. Panera never disapoints....



Did all my running around, now I have to run to pick up my son from soccer practice and then back to start baking... I swear I really have not sat down to really relax since I got up this morning....



well yes lunch was relaxing I do have to admit but now I am hungry again... I hope that I don't start eating those freaking good cookies as they come out of the oven..




well see ya soon.... will post more later... gotta speed to the park now.

My Father



So I took off today and tomorrow, lots of running around and errands to run...


I want to dedicate this post to my dad.


His birthday is tomorrow and my mother is throwing him a party. I love my father so.


I am baking him shortbread cookies and who knows what else I am going to whip up.


From him I have learned to love MUSIC and also to love nature. Even though we all have flaws and we are not perfect in my eyes he will always be the perfect free spirit he was meant to be...


love ya papi....... Happy B-Day....

this pic was taken a few weeks ago.

I had taken a day off and I walked to my son's school to pick him up.

He was so excited to walk home. On our way home we sang songs, held hands and admired all the colorful leaves on the trees.

hola,

well it's Sunday night and I am getting everything ready for this week...

Been washing, went to my oldest son's soccer game..

I must tell ya that all that walking I did yesterday going up and down the trail really did a number on my legs.. I just had to add some mineral ice on my left leg as it is killing me... gosh is this how it's supposed to be when you get old... I am only in my early 40s can you imagine how messed up my body will be in the next ten years...

Well I will not bore you any longer. Pls enjoy this pic I took a few years back of a home made house frame someone did to hold a wedding bouquet...

I loved it when I first saw it.. very special...


so what's going on???? I spent my whole day yesterday at Starved Rock.... what a beautiful place... did about 2 hours of walking and took lots of pics..


it's raining today very gloomy... I guess now it feels like October.


just wanted to drop by and say hello.


see ya soon

so I am back to work today...  never made it yesterday... have been laying on the floor since Sunday because my lower back gave out....  you know how hard it is for someone that is very antsy to be laying on the floor..  I watched a lot of TV and looked at some pics I took, watched AMERICAS MOST HAUNTED... my favorite time of year for shows like that... 

so a trip to the doc and steroid meds for 6 days and YOU should be back to normal... I should of said can you also take my neck pain away that I have had for the last 5 or more years...

I am so used to pain and somedays are better then others...  always on medication which sucks..

My advice to you youngens - don't get old...

see ya soon, now that my back is not spasiming (is that a word) and making my legs want to give out - I will be at it again....

they say NO PAIN NO GAIN....

 so what a beautiful day today don't u agree,,,,,

the sun was shining and it was not that hot.... I did end up going to the farmers market and I took a few pics.
I then drove to the Arboretum....   have I told you lately that I love this time of year... the trees right now are breathtaking and by the pics I took I hope you will agree..  Of course I did not leave the market without buying something.... just when I think that there is nothing else that I would like to buy I run into this beautiful scarf with my favorite colors brown and green with a bit of fuchsia and beige... can't wait to wear that...

tomorrow I am off to the Orchid Show... my parents are coming with so I am excited as my parents love love love plants... My parents always have had plants all around their home and who knew that I one day would have plants all over as well....
