I use to hate halloween



 I have never been a big fan of Halloween.  I think it is all the creepy stuff.  I mean I just don't get the idea of dressing up like a dead person.  That is gross, to me.  If that is your thing...awesome...I guess.  This year I am prego and have a little one around.  So Halloween is so much more fun.  Main Man, Little Man and I all had costumes.  (Main Man wanted me to be a pregnant women who has baby parts sticky out of her tummy. I vetoed that idea.)  I could not wait for my sister's Halloween party to start.  I was giddy.  Turns out I used all my energy up being excited so by the time the party got here I was pooped.  We were the first to leave the party.  It was just too much fun for this prego woman.


Sweet girl got the party started early.  
 Since we moved to AZ we got to have the kids have Halloween together. It was so much fun.  The ohhhs and ahhs that filled the air was perfect.  There is nothing like the fun of babies in costumes.


My sister sewed that hat for my neice.  Such talent.




The party decorations thanks to my super creative sister.


My son's biological grandparents could not be here but my sister's in laws filled in for the absent grandparents.  Little Man was not as sure of these set of grandparents as he is of his own set.


Me as a double stuffed oreo and Super Little Man.



See the cape Daddy made out of painter's tape.  Daddy is way more patient than I am.


Oh yes, I am double stuffed since I am pregnant.


Our Sugar Daddy, since he works so hard he allows me to stay home.  A better view of the cape.

"Hey, you are a cat."  "Did you know you are a Super Hero?"

I am not sure if I have written before about how much Little Man and Sweetie love each other.  They are best friends.  Best friends.  No matter where they are they greet each other with excitement.  In Costume it is no exception.




Since becoming a mom I have been so interested in home made costumes.  This year our costumes weren't elaborate but we made them all.  FYI:  All the tape on Little Man's costume made it quite difficult to get on.  The fabric would not stretch at all.  It was literally a crying wrestling match to get him in that shirt.





All the kids at the party.  So So cute.


All the parents working so hard to get the kids to smile.

 Sisters with our babies.

Tomorrow I leave him

When I sat down to write this blog, I was gonna write about the adventures Little Man and I had last week.  It was gonna be all up beat and fun.  I was gonna share all the fun we had.  However, I am just not feeling it.   First pic of me and my son.  You see I got the call.  "Mrs. Spear, my wife is in labor.  She will need you to fill in for her now."  "Ok, I'll be there Monday morning." So much to think about.  While I am excited about this going back to work idea, I am very sorry to leave Little Man.  I have had the great privilege to have 6 full months and a week to be a full time stay at home mom.    First Bath It has been wonderful and exhausting.  Lovely and inspiring.  Crazy and calm at the same time.  First Car Ride So tiny and small. Oh the love.  One week old. One Month Old  Back in October, the school I will be working at called and asked me to cover a long term position in Kindergarten.  It would start in January and end

Apple Picking in AZ...who knew?

 Guest Blogger: Little Man I realize that I am the star of this blog, but since mom has been feeling a bit under the weather lately (I hear she is growing a baby...whatever that means), I thought I'd take a chance to help her out and update you on our wonderful day.  Today was a day I think mom and dad had just as much fun as I did.  This is rare.  I mean they really don't seem to get the wonder that is life.  I mean we have a whole bunch of rocks in our yard, and they are perfect to stick in your cheeks.  This is a blast.  Whenever I do this, instead of joining me, mom starts yelling, "No No No.  Get those rocks out of your mouth."  I really think if she tried it she'd have as much fun as me. Today though they joined me in my fun and only stopped the fun once.  I'll get to that part. First they made me take my morning nap in the car.  They drove and drove and talked and talked up front.  It was boring me so I took a nap.  Then we get to this pla

As I make the transition from full time stay at home mom to "full-time" working mom/"full-time" mom.  Life changes.  I find I spend the majority of my day preparing for the next day.  I drop my son off at day care at 6:40.  I head to work.  Work.  Work.  Pump so my son has food for the next day.  Work. Work. Work.  (Between the time of work I laugh (inside) at all the funny things that kindergarteners say.)  Pick Little Man up from day care (best part of the day).  Go home.  Clean bottles. Clean pump.  Make new bottles.  Fill bags with new diapers for Little Man tomorrow.  Make dinner.  (I won't say clean up dinner since Main Man does this.) Give Little Man a bath.  Put him to bed.  Climb into bed exhausted.  Then start all over again. Oh friends.  A wonderful trip to NC. Even though I love the school I am working at, I don't know how some women do this all the time. I imagine it would be easier if I was not having to pump and take of all the bottles.
