Princess Stories

It must be hard to be 5 and in school all day. This is the Princess right after school on the way to drop the boys off at Art School.

My kiddos


Princess and I went to a near by park because it was unseasonably beautiful out. She loved playing in the leaves.





Then we found a park to play at while we waited.

My beautiful girl.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

The Art Show


Little Man's school art teacher asked that he submit the above piece in to the Mexican Heritage Art show this month. I think he did an awesome job.

Happy Veteran's Day

To all of those who serve and have served. The kids school had a Veteran's Day assembly yesterday. During which my Monkey read a paper he had written about his Dad in the military.

In case you have a hard time hearing the speech I have written it out for you.

"Soldier's in the military are important to me because my Dad is an electrician in the military. First he helps us stay safe and free. He does this because he wants everyone here to have a better life. Next he cares about the U.S.A. My dad cares because he loves everyone in the U.S.A. Last he helps serve our country. Him and his partners serve our country because they are brave. The military is a great place for my Dad."

Also during the assembly Little Man received an award for having Perfect Attendance during the first quarter. So proud of my boys!

Halloween Fun at school!

Princess is a beautiful Witch...


Little Man is Jason...


Monkey is a Black Ninja



The kids got to enjoy breakfast at school this morning...








The Witch on her way to start the younger kids parade through the school.


She found Big Brother!


Then she found her other Big Brother!


The older grades went on a parade around the neighborhood. There goes "Jason" and yeah that's another "Jason". LOL


Obama showed up as well. What a great parade!


The frozen Ninja on his way back to the school.


She might be a beautiful Witch but you might reconsider accepting that apple.

Halfway Homemade - Halloween edition

So tomorrow is the Halloween parade and celebration at the kids school and being the over achieving (read insane) mom I am I had to make them some treats to share with their classes. Now I intended to only do these for Princess's K class but being who he is Little Man gave me that "look". All of us mom's know the one I'm talking about.

Now this treat is SUPER simple. Took 20 mins and cost under $10 for get this - 85 treats! Yes, I said 85 and yes, I only have 3 kids. Little Man has a grand total of 35 kids in his class while Monkey and Princess round off at about 25 each.

Now the halfway homemade part....those rice crispy treats? They are store bought. Oh yeah I'm not THAT insane! :-) I grabbed 2 boxes of 12 each from Walmart for a whopping $3 a piece. Cut them into 4th's and there I have nice child size treats. (I'm not one to sugar them up "too much")

I melted and drizzled white chocolate across the MANY rows of treats and sprinkled with Halloween colored sprinkles for a holiday touch.

Did I mention the ROWS of treats? Yeah? Okay - as long as your still with me.

These babies are still hardening in my kitchen (aren't I sweet to share right away) and then I will package them up for the kiddo's to lug in tomorrow. Along with their costumes. Oh what fun! I'm dressing up too!
