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??
