Over the Top? Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Hubbie sent me this little Gem yesterday while clicking away at work and I had to share here with you all.

Over the top? Definitely. We are big on Halloween here. I've come to the decision that since the kids want to have fun, I've got to be part of the fun for it to work. Today I got on my Enthusiastic Mom hair wear and took the boys to bowling. After Bowling I needed to pick up a few things in town, now it's only on the 31st of October that I can walk into any store wearing my spider trimmed hair wear and not get strange looks. If only these people were this much fun the rest of the year. Smiles ROCK!

It's taken some time for Hubbie to come around though, while we dated we went to a costume party, I bought me a "baby" costume, pretty easy to do, but Hubbie came to my parents house to pick me up in his jeans and T-shirt and fall jacket. My Mom helped him out. She dragged out a hunter Orange hat, Vest, my Dad's Checked Flannel Jacket he used for taking in the wood, and found a Gun Case in my Brother's Closet! instant Hunter Costume. The following year we rented bunny costumes. Some woman, in our old town, had a whole basement full of costumes she's made over the years. Two white bunnies made out of Flannel Sheets. We were Kyoot but alas there are no pictures or proof. After we got married, I'd stay home and answer the door and Hubbie would work a late shift. He had little patiences for the doorbell, but once we had kids? YES!I get to dress our kids up as animals. TJ is 10 so there are no pictures of him on the computer in his Cougar suit, he was very cute! AJ also wore the Cougar suit his first Halloween. MJ was too big for the cougar suit the first year so he was a Dalmation. I might be able to find that picture year on here... nope but I've got 3yrs ago, The two Power Rangers.




Tonight the boys are having some friends over to go trick or treating with. Hubbie has volunteered to stay home. He's currently going out to buy his costume parts. He couldn't find enough parts in my wardrobe. This morning the boys were Clifford the Big Red Dog, Red Power Ranger and Batman. Tonight they will be Redo of Clifford, Alvin the Chipmunk, and Ghost Rider.
I think they will have fun and I get to walk the neighbourhood.

Kyooty center: Friday Fill-ins The Friday before Halloween

ignore me as I play around at this, the post is before this I think.

Friday Fill-ins The Friday before Halloween

It must be Friday somewhere already? so I'm early!

1. "It was a dark and stormy night.", _was designated by some group as the worse intro sentence to a story ever, but I can't remember the name of the group or where I read/heard it_____.

2. _______My sister has a huge collection of books at her house and we were discussing the pile of books and my piles of books and that my piles were read and her piles were read, but by ourselves,____ so I offered to take the books myself. (She in turn will take mine)

3. Rushing out, __to get candy and treats will be the name of the game Saturday night, but I think one of the kids might be allergic to Chocolate? I just don't understand how this happened, MY child allergic to chocolate? I'm allergic in a different way my reaction is just "fat"________.

4. _____During the summer when I was on the island and had that flat tire, I was sitting in the van playing cards with my Mom while the boys were glued to their electronic devices and that's when______...I think I heard a howl!

5. Shhhh... __did you hear that footstep? It must be the deer, it will not be a bear trying to get our your treats________.

6. _______Trick Or Treat Smell my Feet____ give me something good to eat!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to _finishing off some costume add ons and getting the boys well rested___, tomorrow my plans include __Bowling with costume party, getting prep for supper done in advance because we have friends coming over to Tick or Treat in our little area vs their apartments, and it's supposed to rain, so I need a bit of a back up plan too___ and Sunday, I want to __get them un-sugared up and ready for going back to school on Monday, I can see it now, sugar? we didn't put any sugar in our lunches? no not us mom, Dad ate it all, so then I've got to desugar him up too___!


Speaking of Sugar... these are sugar cookies with jam and orange and brown Smarties(Canadian Smarties have chocolate) on them for finger nails or Almonds. Now I'll go back to the just nuts since mr allergic to chocolate can't eat these. The photo has both versions in it.

Random Tuesday thoughts-apples of my eye

Here we are back again, if you want to get on the Randomizing bandwagon, go on over to Keely at the Unmom, grab your badge, posts your randoms and don't forget to go surf some other randoms.





On with the Random....


I don't speak French I can get the gist of something by reading it but I just don't have the confidence to say it. My son? He's saying LOTS! At 10 I suspect next he'll be using all the bad words he learned.


Snow removal? ACK! the snow blower is now in the garage and the lawnmowers are moved to the baby barn. Yep it's coming I can smell it.

Is it just my boys? or are all kids forgetful? I'm struggling here to get my oldest to remember everything he needs to do in a day. I'm also struggling to get him to DO what I tell him WHEN I tell him? Why?

Should the almost 5yrold be the one making the grocerylist? he's writing down things like Relish and Peanut Butter, we dont' eat Relish, oh wait now tomatoes, of course they are all spelled "ILOVEYOU" :) oh ah he just remembered a friend of the family likes relish on her burgers. I think it's love!

Mr Curling is still smiling on his way out the door today, SCORE! for the parents.

Every printer needs a mascot right? There is a stuffed cougar sitting on my printer.


Everyone got their Halloween Costumes ready? hmmm? whatcha going as? I'm going as wait for it
OVER ENTHUSIASTIC MOM! I did it last year too, wait I'll get you pictures.... Picture this face and these words "GO KIDS! GO! You rock kids, You are the bestest kids ever!, Way better then anyone else's kids" Ready got that in your mind? ...




Complete with head tilt, did you see it? Do you think it will win me any prizes? hmmm?

ACK! Tea cup empty!


oh lastnight I made apple bread, there are no traces that I made said bread now that breakfast is over, well other then my butt! maybe I could dress as a cow?

Apple Bread (machine)
1/2 cup apple Juice
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
3 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 TBsp butter or margerine
3TBSP Brown sugar. I think dark works best.
1/2 cup peeled cored and chopped apple
(I left out the 1/4cup raisins)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp of yeast (quick or machine style)

I used the white or specialty setting and light crust but I could have done medium I think. It was a bit moist because my breadmaker has lost the handle on the bucket, so I have to wait for everything to cool before I can rescue it.
The boys inhaled about 4 slices each as toast with butter this morning. So again no proof I made it.

I want walking lastnight, and do you know very very quickly a lonely 30many+ woman can walk when she hears animals in the woods, in the dark and it's the week before halloween and every house has orange as their outdoor lighting, which casts some pretty ghoulish looking shadows? Yeah FAST! Butt will thank me eventually.


oh good water's boiled, time for more tea, it's warm YAY!

must buy more batteries for CD players and mp3 players, kids with earphones =quiet!

now I'm craving lime flavored tortilla chips. Not good.


Dear Butt!
It's not realestate you can't buy more space. If you need more space, squish a few muscles in there,
OK Thanks

Also SpongeBob Atlantis Pants? Addictive. "Mom can you help me I can't get past the guards"
"SURE!"
"Mom can I play now??" oops!

OK babbling off.

AJ has a Sport

It took some time this year, but we have found a sport that AJ enjoys. So far, it's going well. We have been doing bowling as a family for about 5yrs now? but this year AJ is not happy with it. He's not happy that he's of age where they no longer to take the gutters out while playing. He's used to his gutters. I will keep him in the "Bumper Buddies" section with MJ and I while TJ and Daddy continue in their kids league. TJ loves and does well at bowling. TJ does Judo after school and 1 evening a week, and TJ has Band. AJ felt left out. He wanted a sport.
We threw a bunch of sports at him, Judo? "no everyone gets hurt,"
Basket ball? "no one plays,"
Baseball, season over,
Soccer? "too much running and someone always gets hurt with the ball,"
Cross Country Running? "Yes but it's only going until October."
What will he do then? You tell us? (no answer)
We asked about Hockey?
"no too many people get hurt, Why do people want to play things where they get hurt?"

So we all sat round the dinner table one night and thought of more sports and finally someone said "Curling!"
then we hear about all the kids he knows that play curling or did play curling and he agreed. Finding out when? and where in this town took a bit of work.
My town has a pretty long history of Curling. It started in the 1800's and continues today. It is a Winter Sport, and so it was just advertised on the radio this month. They had an open house with information for parents and those that wanted to join. Hubbie went to talk to the people. This club was very informative and very pleasant. The club I had emailed before this? I'm still waiting to hear from them.
This weekend was the start for the club Hubbie found. He went Saturday night with his paper work and the $$ and they said come back Sunday afternoon with child! and play. Since he had AJ with him that night they sat down and watched some players in the building play a match. AJ was very excited. He came home went to bed early, cleaned his room quickly, and jumped into his bed without any requests for drinks or anything else he forgot to do. He had his clothes laid out but first???????? Sunday school and Mass. hehe He even went through those things excitedly because well once it was over he gets to learn to curl.
Rush Rush Rush, Curling starts at 12 45pm. Mass over at 1215pm, rush to store grab loaf of bread, run home peanut butter bread, add jam for colour, change into Curling pants, and he's standing at the door peanut butter on his face yelling at Dad to get moving! Hubbie needed to un-stick the PB from the roof of his mouth. That was the last I saw of them until Supper time!

They got home and WOW that smile on an 8yrold? It lights up rooms! he was all excited to show me the tape they put on the sneakers we bought him. I found him a extra backpack I had squirrelled away, and he put them in there. He can't wait to get through school this week to go back again. Results. AJ first week, Team Captain? and hit the target! the boy just learned about 3wks ago that he needs glasses and they aren't in yet but still? he's hitting the target? I wonder what it will be like after the glasses?

I'm still beaming over that smile!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts, late

Well it's Tuesday again, I know wasn't it just Tuesday last yesterday? no that was last week. On with the Random stuffs in my head. Brain dump goes here.....

You can find more random over here....



My mouse isn't too happy today, it's double clicking everything, so if you get empty replies? blame the mouse

One of my friends had a baby last week, oh the pics are adorable, so I did what any sane mom of 3 boys does I went out shopping for girls stuffs for her! It's only fair.

I'm doing the single parenting this part of this week, ACK!!!!! it's not fair to be this tired and have no tag team partner. I don't know how all you single parents do it? I knowyou JUST do but still it's hard!

All my trees are naked so I wont take their pictures anymore until they put their white skirts of snow on. We didn't get any snow this week. Other parts of the country did. (<------hehe ) no I'm not pointing nad laughing at them, I'm uh pointing and laughing ok yes I'm pointing and laughing at them.


The boys know I have no tag team partner, they are totally using my good cop against my good cop.

The laundry? it's multiplying, the coat hangers, and dust bunnies too.

I had an inlaw invasion this past weekend. Yeah that's why I wasn't around for Friday Fill ins. I didn't want them to SEE you all, and well then they would know I"m writing about them! I mean stuff. I only cooked one meal, Friday night, the rest of the weekend? up to everyone else. I love to cook and I love to feed people but not when they say things like "if you're going to make spaghetti, don't make that whole wheat stuff" and "I'll cook it" which I immediately followed up with, "well I wont cook at all then". WE went out to supper that night. oh boy!

4.5yrolds? yeah they don't like to SIT down at restaurants, they want to use their new public potty skills, and tel you about what's on teh floor under the table, and visit the fish, and oh wash their hands and uh look for a toy that isn't there, and make love notes for the waitress on their placemats. yes that part was cute "Mom how to you spell I LOVE You?" OK "Is this a good heart?" it really was a great drawing.

10yrolds? with their own bathrooms and BIG bedrooms? yeah they don't appreciate them at all! I had to pull out the scrubby sponges down there! yikes! "yeah I cleaned my room" oh really?

8yrolds <------ yesterday btw, they you to do everything FOR them and they want to eat Chips, chocolate, cake and pop when their grandparents come to visit. NO! and then then I'm the "mean mom" but wow he's 8 now! ACK! only 5 more years until I can leave him to babysit, so I can escape I mean go for a nice walk.

Homework? yeah that should be illegal and fall under the labour laws for "over work".

Critter counter going up, today I saw a woodpecker attacking my cedar fence.

Oops this was more of a rant. I'll work on better for next week. I promise. I'll do my homework before the kids eat up all my time.

Random Tuesday Thoughts, more Rambling

OK yes there may or may not have been a Holiday in your parts readers so it's might be confusing but yes today is Tuesday. So click the link and find more Random and or stick around and read me Ramble....


Today is the day, I have to sign up my littlest for school next year. This is a big step, I'm a bit nervous, no more baby? I'm not ready, he's totally ready, the boy is making signs like "no pooping on my bed Aura" for the cat, with help from the brothers but he's making the letters and asking "how do you spell" not to be confused with "howwwwwwwww you say..." which would be his bilingual coming through... HA!! OK no he doesn't say that, but it's still funny. "howwwwww you spell..." hahah that he definitely spells and it does sound exactly how you hear Peppy le Pew saying it in your head. And he even bounces, so it fits.

Right now he's trying to make the Mom lose her mind as he's snots all over the DVD collection while also laying the discs on the floor so they are good and scratched. WHYYYYYYYYY???

The 4 letter word was announced on the radio this morning during the weather, you know the word. I suspect this calls for a trip to the department stores so I can go into mass debt buying 4letter word suits, mitts, hats and other stuff they will lose either at the school, or on the bus or at Grandma's house at Christmas.

I baked this past weekend, I baked a Banana Loaf, and 2 batches of apple muffins. Apple Muffins are the best thing I've found for lunches because the boys think that brown sugar topping is candy. I call it essential for the apple to do it's work.

We had our Ham for Thanksgiving but you know after all was said and done and even with headaches branching 3 days I miss the Turkey. Friday I'll buy a turkey, I missed it and yes I know I'll be doing it again in November for my mini Americans but still must have more turkey.

ACK! The Mini Canadian is asking where his Buzz Lightyear Toy is, uh uh uh I think maybe possibly it may have uh flew with style out to the garbage can about two years ago? ... uh oh.... Oh I think this calls for "oh I think we gave it to (nephew), because he's getting to be a big kid?" do you think I'll get away with it?

Oh I had the weirdest Dream ever on Sunday morning, headache kept me in bed until noon,trying to ignore my head pounding, (Darn Buzz made it upstairs, no lying necessary, go me for not letting go of anything) and I woke up and had tell Hubbie the dream. He came in and says "do you want to adopt a saxophone kid or a Trombone kid?" and I said "huh, what about both?" so suddenly I'm in the neighbours yard on the island (beside mom's house), and I'm in their garage, and I see bolted to the wall two vacuum cleaners, one called the Saxophone Windish tunnel and the other the Trombone Windish tunnel, and I start to take them apart to see what they do. Apparently one is supposed to be a Steamer and vacuum. I'm starting to use it on the neighbour's lawn(which suddenly turns into carpet). It's just a steamer, I yell to Hubbie, he's off picking blue berries with my kids in the old horse race practise track I used to go to as a child, and he comes over "yeah it's just a steamer" He's also giving me that "you weren't supposed to get up and look at them" look. So I open it, pull that plastic strap that toys have to turn off the demo program? you know "Elmo wants to be a chicken" and he stops right well the strap that keeps it from stopping and then you kick yourself for taking it out, because you can't stick it back in? So then Hubbie looks at it and says "well it's got a dishwasher in it" and so we buy/adopt that one.
Weird dream but what makes it weirder is that I tell hubbie,and he says "you really want a new Dishwasher don't you?" (yeah I've only been asking for 3yrs) and I said "and a steamer and vacuum too?" then the mean shot "wow you are domesticated!" Yep it's happened I'm dreaming about appliances.

So even my dreams are random, one minute I'm asleep in my bed and next I'm vacuuming my mother's neighbours lawn with my steamer that's a dishwasher.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes today is Thanksgiving weekend up here in Canada so today I'm baking a spice cake with AJ and getting ready to have Ham for supper. The boys Grandparents will be here next weekend so I'm saving my Turkey and fixing for their visit. The boys have been off school since Thursday and will be home Monday as well. We usually have our meal on Sunday dinners here so if we have guests they can us Monday for their clean up, travel or lazing around.

Yesterday we went out to meet up with some friends. They are visiting family in the province and seeing the East Coast for the first time. Last night we met in person for the first time. Allison and I have been emailing and chatting and talking on the phone for the last 8+yrs. We met online while expecting our 8yrolds. Yesterday those 8yrolds got to meet for the first time.

The funny part of the whole thing is the boys asked me how I knew Allison, and I said I met her on-line, and that's when the big eyes started staring me down with words like "Strangers, and internet, and careful", so I know they've been listening to me.


Happy Thanksgiving I'm so Thankful for Friends and even Computers! :) I'm also Thankful to Allison's family for hosting us and feeding us and our kids, it's so nice to meet new friends.

Random Tuesday Thoughts, Boys it's a house of boys

If you're feeling Random today go on over and hook yourself up. Click it, you know you want to?




so things were a bit rush here yesterday, I've got a lot on my mind and a lot to get completed, so I started. Did some laundry, and the baking and the dishes, then the boys got home. dun dun dunnnnnnnn Homework! Supper! and No more time left to veg. The days are too long!

Hubbie is still trying to fix the slider on my van, the van is 10yrsold and so he's trying, the door is stuck, wont open. Remember the age of vans with only 1 sliding door? yeah that's me. He's using a lot of fast grinding tools.

Random Status updates I made lastnight...
The sound of a grinder grinding into a Van door sounds almost like someone screaming as a grinder slices off your arm...ok yep heart still works.

Mary had a little lamb sounds good on a drum when it's played by your son!! (<----I never hear enough of that song...)

Next up Hot Cross Buns!

I'm impressed now snot wiping and drumming.... hmmmmm maybe he's going to be good at this?

And that led to this doozy...

TJ is playing the drums to his DVD he got at school for band now he's on lesson 21 and a bit of a perfectionist, but he managed to get the other unbusy arm to play the note that the snot arm was due to play.. (I think I'm untrained in this)

On to other Random, the list of things I've done in the last 3 days no one actually noticed so I'll just jot them down so someone will notice....

Baked a apple crisp, because you know the baking just appears out of thin air...
washed the door leading to the basement
Washed the wooden cupboards, and lysol wiped all the door knobs.
Washed the inside of the oven, maybe they will notice the smoke detector going off less often? no they wont...
Washed the baseboards in the bathroom.
Threw out toys they desperately "NEED" to keep but haven't noticed are missing yet, it's been 3days now. ha!
Trying to win money on the local radio program, could be up to 1000.00 but no one will notice because the line is always busy!

No sighting of the bear today, but I still sent the boys out to the bus stop to wait for the bus. Probably a bad mom moment?

Today we don't have dentist appointments we have Eye Doctor Appointments. I swear I heard the receptionist go "chaching" when I said I needed 3 appointments...She laughed when I told her I totally heard her say that...

HASAY, OK I've Procrastinated Enough

Rather then write here today, I baked(I will not post the food porn), I cleaned the counters, I cleaned the doors to the basement, and the cupboard doors in my kitchen. I'm not losing, I'm stuck again. I lost 4.4 in september, but no more after that. I just need .2 for this week to get to 20lbs "again". The "baby" is now 4.5yrs old. It shouldn't be this hard to get this weight off. I know I was so determined the first time I lost. This time it's harder so much harder.

I've been reading everyone's updates, I've seen some awesome progress, and some great attitude. Me? today? my attitude is in the crapper! I've been walking with MJ around the block, he is in his pink Trike and I'm pushing him with a broom stick so that things go Faster! The pace of a 4.5yrold will get me no where, but a 4.5yrold on a Trike being pushed with a broomstick? now it feels like we're doing something. I've asked for help to keep me motivated from my family. I've asked them to eat the healthy food vs the stuff they really want. I want my boys to grow up healthy but they have their dad's motabolism, they look at food and lose weight, I look at food and gain. The big part of this is that "I" have to do it. So I will keep walking and running after that Trike and Away from the Bear! (yes he's back 4miles from here 2 bears were spotted this morning, you can tell it's their garbage pick up day, tomorrow is ours!)

Meals have been better, more veggies are in the house and less snacking. I've bought their lunch snacks all packaged up. They are a bit bummed that I'm not baking more. They want me to make cinnamon Buns, Apple muffins, cookies and even chocolate chip pancakes. I want none of those things to be in my house. If it's packed I wont touch it. A package of mini chocolate chip cookies? not a problem because they are for the kids lunches, and I only buy enough to do so many days. A package of cheese strings? it's theirs,a 500g chunk of cheese? uh now we've got problems.

I made whole wheat pizza this weekend, spicy beef stirfry and salads, those will work. I've journaled for 4wks straight this month, I bite it a write it so the October goal will be to keep that going, and work on the liquids and less fluff. The fluff will fluff you up everytime!
