Zane: Yes! Auntie we are having a girl

October so far OMG where to begin?????
I cannot believe that October is just about over. I don't think I have even taken my camera out of the car because that is where we live. Seriously home to school, school to practice, practice to home. Eat, sleep (well most of the family anyways) and back up again the next day to do it all over again! Could it get any better than this? No way we love every minute of every busy day we have with our amazing kids! We even love the days that we don't totally like our kids, don't hate because I am mom enough to admit that there are times I don't always like my kids! LMAO.
So the week that school started was the week that football began. Now football ended and we started our 3 week intersession YAY! On the plus side no one has to attend intersession either so we don't have to be out the door at 7am for 3 whole weeks. That is heaven right there!
Brace yourself....... this one is gonna be long!
Just when you thought no more blogs with more of the very same football pics.. Guess again =)
Daddy made it home early one evening and decorated the gingerbread haunted house with the kids. and no it didn't really get completed but they had fun. Edward wasn't really interested, I think he may have been outside riding his bike. Maya was so down and could of went on all night. Steven was happy to come in and make a mess and Cali well eating is much more important then Halloween, at least this year anyway!!
A couple of these football games are going to be combined right here... One was too cold for me to take too many pics. My ass was curled up in Papas blanket drinking hot chocholate. I got a few pics but mainly of the girls all dressed up like it was winter in Tahoe not October in Sac!! Another one I am sure I was either way too busy snacking on the yummy treats I always pack for the girls to keep them busy or screaming my head off like the crazy mom I am telling those damn kids that they better block my Eddie a lot better than they are!! Oh and one of them was just heart wrenching. It was Stevens game and OMG I couldn't sit down. This was THE GAME, they win they go to playoffs, they lose they don't. It was an unbelieveable game and they ended up losing in OT. I have never seen so many 12 and 13 year olds cry in my life. TOUGH GUYS huh??? WHATEVA
If I forget to close my closet door, I am so screwed! cali gets in there and takes out every shoe in there. Like she doesn't have 5 billion of her own she has to mess with mine. After she takes them all out she chooses a pair to wear, always a pair of heels. today the camera was actually in the house and so I got a few pics of her modeling my shoes for me.
Mays first field trip was to Fog Willows Pumpkin Patch. We had so much fun. I have never been there so it was all new to me too. I brought Cali to my mom and dads for a few days so I could have some quality time with Maya on her field trip and with Edward on his which was the very next day! and knock out some of those parent hours! The charter school the kids go to requires 40 hours per year of parent volunteer hours. Ha like that isn't easy to to do. I literally laugh when a parent complains. It the end of the 1st trimester and my parent hours are done. Lucky me to be able to participate so much! Am I bragging? Hell yeah I do have that right, NO?
and the next day................ Edwards field trip. 2 more places I have never been! Can ya tell I didn't grow up in Sac? 1st was the State Indian Museum. I wish we would have had more time here because the place was totally bomb diggety. It also would have been nice if the woman working there wasn't a complete and total B****! During lunch out on th egrass right outside of the place i actually called and complained about her hahaha. Thats what she gets, I mean c'mon lady this is your job either enjoy it or get a new one! It also would have been great to be able to take pics inside but that was a no can do. After lunch we walked on over to Sutters Fort. The kids loved it but went though so fast, we had so much time to spare after we were done. They just wanted to look at everything. Pressing a button and listening was apparently too much learning in one field trip for 4th graders.
After the last football game there was the homecoming dance. Steve took the boys and Maya and I stayed home with Cali to give her some special time since she had been gone for a few days with Gma and Papa Salvi. Okay we didn't much but go to bed! I was woken up to some major excitement when they got home from the dance. Edward Mister bad ass himself comes waltzing in with an uber cool crown and sash! He was voted Prince of the Jr Pee Wee team. Pretty cool stuff dontcha think?
and my handsome dude Steven tooooo
FOOTBALL OVER! See ya next year we are off and running.... See ya on the track =)
So we had one cold day in October so far! It has been beautiful during the day and just a teeny chilly at night. The other day the kids were spoiled yet again when Papa Gonzalez took them for ice cream! YUMMY Steven and edward both had double scoops. that was Stevens you saw on the ground. Maya actually shared hers with mommy. Cali had mint chip and well who says you have to share when you are a year and half???
Papa decided to take the kids to the Pumpkin Patch. I told Steven to take the camera and take some pictures. The pumpkin patch outing did not last that long. The kids love their papa just as much as their mom and dad. Try and do something nice for them and they act like a bunch of jerks! Sorry papa =( but there were a few decent pics. I think Papa was pretty brave taking 4 kids to the pumpkin patch, that is usually something only a mom can and will do LOL
I am winded! Are you even still awake??

Piñata anyone???
If you have ever been to a Gonzalez Party you will really find this funny! Bust out the piñata and it is on in this family heheh
Alice and Frank were Bungee jumping one day. Alice says to Frank, 'You know
we could make a lot of money running our own Bungee-jumping business in
Mexico .' Frank thinks this is a great idea, so they pool their money and
buy everything they need: a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc.
They travel to Mexico and begin to set up on the square. As they are
constructing the tower, a crowd begins to assemble. Slowly, more and
more people gather to watch them at work. When they had finished,
there was such a crowd, they thought it would be a good idea to give
a demonstration, so Alice jumps.
She bounces at the end of the cord, but when she comes back up, Frank
notices that she has a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, Frank isn't able
to catch her and she falls again, bounces, and comes back up again. This
time, she is bruised and bleeding. Again, Frank misses her. Alice falls again
and bounces back up. This time, she comes back pretty messed up -- she's
got a couple of broken bones and is almost unconscious.
Luckily, Frank finally catches her this time and says, 'What happened?
Was the cord too long?'
Barely able to speak, Alice gasps, 'No, the Bungee cord was fine ...
it was the crowd! ...What the HELL is a piñata?!'
I have a ton of pics (no not piñata pics on my camera so I am thinking that in the next couple of days I will do a nice big OCT post....... Stay tuned

The Mom Test!
For those of you that haven't read this one yet, I hope it puts a smile on your face...... Thanks Sandy for reminding me that MOMS are BAD ASS
The Mom Test
I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. 'Why?' my daughter asked. 'Because it's been on the ground. It's dirty, and it probably has germs,' I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Momma, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.' I was thinking quickly. 'All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom.'
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. 'Oh...I get it!' she beamed, 'So if you don't pass the test, you have to be the dad.'
''Exactly,' I replied back with a big smile on my face

Not a review yet......
Okay I admit it the commercial finally got me!! It only airs like 5000 times during Drake and Josh. Last night I ordered them and I am sure you will hear all about them once they get here and everyone has tried. 3 servings of fruits and vegetables and only 12 calories. My kids love their fruits and most of their veggies but this is a whole 3 servings in 2 small tarts. *looks at the lil cloud above my head* Will they end up with water butt from all the fruits and veggies? Hahahahhaha

Interesting Economics!
TY Dawn for this tidbit of info!
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.
But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received a $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg. A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon! Makes you proud to be an American!
