Thanksgiving

Here is my family on Thanksgiving. Even Dexter got in the picture!

We surprised the Phi with Chone's old bike.
Look at that surprised face!
This is what happens when you leave Felix with the guys outside...
" What's this?"
"Is anyone watching me?"

"Score! Now, how do I open these?"

Chone picked at Elaine's turkey cake thinking no one was looking.
But she got caught red handed!

Another Day

The twins were playing with their new trike, and Felix got on the back while LIli pushed him around. Notice in the background all the diapers on the floor. They found an open bag and pulled them all out.
While my little cousin Bubbs went to the movies, we babysat Jasmine, his school project baby flour sack. Chone treated that thing like it was real, and can't wait to do it when she is in 7th grade. I had an egg in 7th grade.

Painting the Roses Red

I noticed there was a lot of roses in the back yard, so I cut them and put them in a vase. They were very beautiful! When Luis got home I told him they were left on the doorstep. He didn't believe me. I guess I'm not a good liar. :)

Lili-In-The-Box

Today Lili sat in the toy box for about 2 hours. She watched TV and played with the toys in there. This picture is from another day, but that's what she looked like. She can entertain herself for so long, where Felix is on my leg fussing for me to hold him or play with him. Chone was like Felix, but worse. And Felix's hair looks better, but is still way short. Luis cut it shorter so those lines blend in now.

Last Game

Today was Chone's last game of the season. She has played 4 years now, and is getting better every year. If she plays next year she will move up to U10, where they play on a bigger field, keep score, and are way more competitive. I'm not sure if I want her to play or not. I'm pretty sure she will want to.

She played goalie for a quarter. She almost scored a few goals. They tied 2-2.
Chone is number 8.
Here are the girls with their awesome Coach. Coach just turned 18 yesterday. She was going to get a tattoo tonight, and go to Chumash Casino tomorrow.

Many of the parents were glad soccer was over, including me. The parents gave me a gift card for California Pizza Kitchen for being Team Mom. I wasn't expecting that, but it was nice. The girls got their trophies and gave the Coach her gift.

Yeah! Soccer is over! But I just signed her up for softball....

Beyond Pist!!!!!!

It looks so bad I can't even take a picture of it to blog!

Tuesday night: Felix's hair was getting long and Luis wanted to cut it. I told him I wanted to grow it out and that he could cut around his ears and back only. He was like, "No, you don't comb it anyways. You don't even comb you hair!" (in spanish)

So I was like, "It's not up to you! It's up to me!"

Well I guess he didn't like that, so he took Felix to the bathroom to cut his hair. After a lot of screaming, he put him in the bath. I went to the bathroom to see his hair. I thought it would be all shorter, but still a little long. Well, I walked in, saw the top of his head and walked out! I was so pist!!!!!

He had shaved it with a ONE clip. Then I don't know what happened, but he had a few lines of shaved NO clip length in the front. WTF!?!

I didn't talk to Luis the rest of the night! I wanted to get back at him, so when he went to sleep, I shaved Lili's head!

So you're probably thinking I'm crazy and how could I do that to my daughter! I thought about that too. I didn't do it, I was kidding! She still has all her hair. I thought about it though!

Wednesday night: Luis explained to me at dinner that Felix was squirming and knocked the one clip off the clippers and that's why he had those lines in the front. He didn't fix them, and said they will be less noticable in a couple of days. I was still mad he cut it so short in the first place! Now I can't take him out in public and I have to call and reschedule our family pictures.

(I know it's "wrong", but me and Chone have been calling him cancer boy)

I want that cup!!

This is what happens in my house all day, every day, with everthing!

I don't know what Felix was doing, but Lili is about to notice he has a cup...

Lili- "Hey, I want that cup!"
Felix- "I better get out of here!"

And as always, Lili get the cup!

Lili- "Whoo hoo! I got it!"

Felix- "Whatever! It's empty!"

Box Tops

Chone is collecting for school again. So if you could clip these box tops and save them for Chone, that would be great! We will let you know when we need them. Make sure you do not cut off the expiration date. You can find these on Kraft, Ziploc, and other products. Just keep your eyes open for them. Thanks in advance!

Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!

I'm trying not to give the babies baby food anymore, other than fruit purees in their oatmeal in the morning. So I have trying to think of different things for them to eat. So I thought, of course, the classics. So they had peanut butter and jelly on crackers as part of their lunch today.

It was Peanut Butter Jelly Time!! So after they ate, I showed them the youtube video. Felix came over to watch it with a big smile. Lili wouldn't come over to the computer, but she did a little dance to it.

???

Notice any thing odd about this picture?

Look at it.

Well, when I got their socks, I grabbed some mittens for Felix, thinking they were black soxs (no not red sox Elaine). It was a long day, so I just put them on him anyway. He looked at them and pulled at the "tumb" for a while. Then just wore them like any other sock all night and next morning till he got dressed.

My Poor Baby

Notice the white line on his forehead...

I went in the garage to pull out the baby gate. Felix was in the hallway and Lili was crawling in the living room. I backed out of the garage with it and as i turned around I hit what I thought was the wall or table cause I hit it sooo hard. I turn around and see Felix sitting on the floor with his hands on his head, as he starts to scream/cry. I drop the gate and grap him expecting to see blood. I moved his hands and there was no blood. I felt soooo bad! I was hugging him and he would push me away like he was mad at me, then hug me again. Then he started acting really silly and laughing. So I put him on the floor cause I wanted to see if he could walk normally. He walked fine, then started to fall on purpose and say, "Oh!" I was worried, but after a while he was acting his normal self again.

His skin bumps up after being scratched or hit, just like me. So he better watch out cause Woman will want to play tic-tac-toe on him.

Cute Cups

I found these cute cups for the twins. They only get these in the high chairs, cause they do spill, but they were to cute to not get. They are a monkey, hippo, and a tiger. I got 2 packs so they each have one of each animal.

And you wonder why my floor looks so clean?

Free child labor. Why else do you think I had kids!

Let's go for a ride

Rockin Out!

I guess it was time for some father-son time. Here is Luis and Felix with the "Bajo Sexto" Luis' friend made and Luis won in a raffle.

Felix rockin out!

HALLOWEEN

Halloween was pretty mellow this year. Since the Phi didn't come, Chone went trick or treating with her Dad, step Mom, step cousin, and little brother, who was a boxer. She was Herminie from Harry Potter, but I didn't even get a picture of her.

Lili was a Bee (Chone's old costume)

Felix was a giraffe (Phi's old costume)
Cheese!
Cheese!
I like the stinger and tail on the costumes
Tio Miguel and Tia Mary were all dressed up, too!

We even saw Susy in her work appropriate costume.

The twins ate a little bit of candy, they got sticky from lollipops. As you can tell, Felix did not want that hood on.

Here are our pumpkins. Lisa made this one for the party...

I made this one for the party
I made this one for Halloween night.

The boys next door (my cousins Bubbs and Mikey) carved pumpkins with me. Bubbs and Tia Mary made a wolf howling, and Mikey made bats with a bell house. There was one big pumpkin left, but Luis didn't want to carve it. Maybe we can carve it for Thanksgiving.

Nice Shades

My cousin Mikey, who dressed up as a girl for the party, left his glasses at the house. The kids had some fun with them.

Felix, super happy!

Lili, super confused!Chone, super posing!

Then we returned them before we broke them.

Halloween/30th Birthday Party

for Lisa and Patty. It was a lot of fun, and everyone dressed up.

Here is Lili as mini Frida Kahlo

Felix was a 50's cool guy in his leather jacket Chone was a pirate, then Frida, then Herminie from Harry Potter (yes, she changed three times)
Here are some of the guys outside. It rained, but they didn't care.
Here are some of us inside
and some more (my Mom is the hippie)
It was a great party! The altar contest was great too. My Mom made one for Elaine's "dead" car, Chone made one for her hamster, and other family members made some for family members and even for the murdered women in Juarez!
We had a great time!
