Sucks to be SICK!

We made it 20 months without any real problems with Cali's health. But low and behold it hit and it hit hard. Our poor lil baby was running a fever of almost 105. She was miserable and everyone else enjoyed her cuddliness. She has never had any kind of meds so when I tried to give her Motrin..... she wasn't havin it AT ALL! She gagged and puked it up in true drama style. She has been relaxin on the couch in and out of sleep for 2 days. She is back up and trying to run around today but still kinda slow as her fever is still about 102.5. Here is a couple pics of my pathetic lil munchkin butt not feeling well!

Papa said she did good sharing her toys and her papa YAY!

Pretty cool site if you like their daily choice. They choose one item per day and it is super cheap, usually like 80% off or something crazy like that! It sells til it is sold out or until 11:59 pm CST Right now they also have an early black Friday deal going on with Comp USA. A new Acer lap top (a pretty decent one, but I don't know all that much about acer) for 399=$1.99 shipping!!! Its at the top in very small print! Check it out!!

I just ordered it like 2 seconds ago and I wish it were here already! I really hope this thing works because if it does, most of you know that I will be in heaven! I have too much to do to take time out and sleep so least I could do is give myself a 20 minute rest, NO? Steve says well what they don't tell you is that each time you use it, it takes one day off your life! Hahah Whateva! Right? Who wants to be like 100 years old anyways? LOL Anyways you know I had to share and you know you will all hear so much more about it and hopefully really really soon! *peeks outside to see if it is arriving yet!

Safe... But we got a lil worried!

Dusty, Mel and the girls are all safe and sound but that fire got too close to them for all of our comfort! They are in Chino Hills and as you will see from the pics it was right behind them. They did have to evacuate early Sun am for a while but are back home safe and sound. So they have been in So Cal for less than a year and have experienced an earthquake and now the fire. Oh how we look forward to Dec when they come home!

We love and miss ya guys and are glad you are all safe!

OMG could I have the worst 4th folder 4th picture? You won't even know what it is!!

Long story short. Water invading the backyard coming up through the cracks. Where is that main to shut off the water anyways? Well duh under a 50 year old tree. Sac city suburban had to come out and remove our huge beautiful source of shade (after they figured out that was where the main was) and this is part of the hole where that tree used to be. Our backyard is still not recovered grrrrrrr!!! So there ya have it!!

Halloween

Halloween was just not the same this year. We had one key ingredient missing~ Steven being the cool 12 year old he is went to a party with friends instead of trick or treating with his uber cool family BOO HOO =( That was a little tough for mom but it didn't stop us from painting the town with our other 3 fabulous children dressed to impress! Fo sho baby..... As for costumes,
Steven was a dread head jamaican dude or something of the sort. Well he had the wig at least!
Edward was a zombie DR, made me a little nervous because it was a scary costume. I thought for sure the girls were gonna freak. They didn't so woo hoooo.
Maya was a princess, go figure huh? She chose to be Aurora from Sleeping Beauty! Cali still doesn't get to choose so mom chose for her. I have wanted Maya to be a devil for a few years now and she has refused (at least one of us knows the truth about her hahahah)! So since I can still have a say in the matter Cali was a Devil Princess. Not only did I get to choose the costume but I made it for her to. I wasn't thrilled with the costumes out there to buy so I dug into my creative crafty side and made the costume myself. Oh and guess what the body suit that I decked out with rhinestones was on sale for 2.99 so go Target! The tulle for the tutu well...... under $4 at Walmart. pair of hand me down black tights from Maya and the cutest red glitter shoes. Trust me you have all seen them at Target! Steve and I took Ed, My and Cali out trick or treating and we made it back home before the rain hit!

It must be in the water

Al and Julie just found out they are having a girl. Miles will be a big brother to a sweet sister. I am looking forward to March. 2 new babies... Both girls! baby girl Salvi is due right around Cali's bday so who knows????? She might get to share her bday with her very special cousin. We can't wait to meet her
