Halloween Fun and... Snow?

At around 12:30 this afternoon it started snowing! Say it isn't so! It's way too early for this! My son of course is thrilled. I'm just hoping it won't stick to the ground. It's mixed with rain so hopefully it won't stay. It's NYC, by the way.




Last week my son and I painted these little pumpkins. Every year we do something crafty like this or bake cookies or a cake for Halloween. He can hardly wait for Halloween which is Monday. Here are some pics I took:

Halloween is over!

When you have kids they count the months, weeks, days, hours and minutes until Halloween. Well, it's over. This Halloween was FREEZING! It was windy and cold and I felt sorry for the kids whose parents didn't make them wear a coat over their costume! I couldn't believe the little teen girls in playboy bunny costumes (worn with a tiny skirt)!
My boy and hubby were zombies and I was suppose to be a vampire but my teeth didn't work out. So I just look like a goth. But it was fun. I was good and didn't eat too much candy ;-)









Michael Myers!

I love Halloween!

I love Halloween! I loved it as a kid too, of course. Not only for getting candy, but for choosing a costume, the excitement of going out at night was like a little adventure, and looking at other people's costumes. It was fun. Now I get to take my 5 year old boy trick or treating. In the past few years, I wasn't really getting into it because I felt I was too old to put on a costume. But now my kid gets me excited again. He asks me, "What are you going to be this year, mom?" This year we decided to do makeup instead of masks. My boy wants to be a zombie, hubby will be a skull face, and I can't decide whether to be a sexy she devil, a sultry vampire or an evil skull. What do you think? What are you going to be? Do you go trick or treating or do you go to parties? I really haven't seen anyone posting about Halloween. Well, whatever you dolls do, I hope you have a Happy and Safe Halloween!
Here are some pics of my baby boy through past Halloweens. I couldn't find one picture where he was Elvis! :-(

Vacation time!

I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging as often as I should. It's just that I've been busy with everything. My little man graduated from pre K on Thursday. I'm so proud of him. I can't believe how fast the school year went! I can still remember how scared he was that first day and how nervous I was! Now he'll be going to kindergarden in September. My baby is growing up so fast! *sigh*
So, now is vacation time! We're heading to sunny Florida. We go every year and we love it. The beaches, the sunsets, the shopping! LOL! We'll be gone for a month. This year we're going to make it for the 4th of July celebrations! Yay! I get to see it on the beach instead of a crowded city! I don't know know if I'll have a chance to blog while on vacation, but I'll try.
And now I'd like to leave you with some vintage Florida postcards that I found on Flickr.

My little man

This is my little man and I on Mother's Day. He's 5 years old and he can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but I love him to death and can't imagine my life without him.
I love you baby!

Going back to work?

Well I received both the dress and the bathing suit the other day. I'm very happy with both. They fit great and look good. I can't wait to wear them on vacation. Well, speaking of vacation, we'll be leaving in less than 2 weeks. Hubby & I were talking and I may go back to work part time when we get back. Our toddler is 3 1/2 now and we might put him in preschool in September (*sigh* he's growing up so fast!). So the good news is if I go back to work, I'll have money to buy the stuff that I want, but the bad news is my baby won't take it so well after being with me at home since he was born! But hopefully he'll start school and make friends and see that it isin't so scary. Well, he has start getting used to being apart from me anyway. Me too! LOL!!!
