Halloween Weekend Fun!

Little Miss Sparkle Kitty at our ward's truck or treat.
I think she had more fun passing out treats than getting them though.

She's a Sparkle Kitty. Her idea.
Mom approved costume for under $20!




Luke Skywalker and Sparkle Kitty trick or treating at R&O.
They hauled!




Celia woke up Halloween morning with a fever. Flu. Fun stuff.
So we had a 'slow day'.
While I continued to wade through the mountain of boxes, she amused herself with the empty ones.
I thought she'd be bummed that we couldn't trick or treat.
But, no.
She was super excited for trick or treaters. In fact, she sat at the window for about an hour waiting and watching for them. Then when they stopped coming she was super sad.



Monday, Mommy and Celia day since she still wasn't feeling well.
First bloody nose. Poor baby!
I think it scared her more than anything.

Punkin Guts! Oh My!

Celia is now an expert 'Punkin Gutter'.
I'm so proud!
She was covered in pumpkin innards up to her armpits and loving every gooey, slimy minute of it. I really just shouldn't be surprised by her anymore!

Our annual Pumpkin Carving Night is just about my favorite time of year.
Bummer though... My camera decided to abruptly quit on me. So I just have the one fuzzy picture from my phone.
Oh well! Great memories anyway!!

Weaver family- It was so much fun to see you all again! Celia's talked about Wyatt non stop since Sunday. Too funny!

Could I Get About 10 More Hours In the Day Please??

Welcome Friday.
I could have sworn it was still Wednesday. Busy week!

Our new little townhouse is still a maze of boxes. I'm pretty much living out of my suitcase since I can't quite find any of my cold weather clothes. Oh well.

I have my kitchen and bathroom unpacked and useable. Yay me! This weekend's task... find the other three rooms. That, and finish decorating for Halloween. It's all about priorities. I mean, we only have our door and windows decorated. It's October 9th people and I haven't put up my Halloween trees! I know what you're thinking. Cut me some slack alright? I've had a few things on my plate lately.

Here are a few fun highlights from the week...

Baby Chace is finally here!
She is gorgeous! I can't wait to snuggle her. I just need to get over this sicky thing and loose the cough.

Court again yesterday.
The Juvenile case is closed. Which means beastly Laina, the guardian ad litem, and annoying Chris, the caseworker, are out of our lives. Joy!! Celia's dad has actually been pretty decent about things lately. I chalk it up to nothing short of a miracle. He's still pressing for more time with Celia and wants it formalized when we enter our agreement into district court. As it is, he's not taking her the full amount as it is. I'm not worried. Things actually are settling quite nicely. Now, I may be jinxing things by writing that. But, I can still hope, right?

I supervised my first Enrichment Night last night.
Randee was obviously a little indisposed, so I filled in. It went well. But, Randee was missed. She is so much better at these things than me! I called my brother in a panic about 20 minutes before it started because I realized I couldn't set up all the tables and chairs alone. Thank you Chace! You are a lifesaver.

Celia is sleeping quite contentedly in her own bed!
It's been a little bit of a struggle. I've spoiled her the past few years and out of pure laziness let her sleep with me. Heck, it's been just her and I for so long it was always much easier just to plop her in with me and snooze. Things are a bit different now. She's given us a little resistance, but not much. And aside from sneaking in with us in the wee hours of the morning after a bad dream, she's pretty much sleeping in her own bed all night.

And last but not least... married life in WONDERFUL!!!
Dan takes care of Celia and I in the most tender of ways. Take Wednesday night. We had my little nephew over while the baby was being born and he and Celia were running a muck. Then my neighbors came over for a visit with their three kids and I'm running around trying to coordinate last minute enrichment details. Plus the phone is ringing off the hook. Dan's worked a long day, but comes home and instantly pitches in without me having to ask. Thursday night too. While I was at the church he finished my grocery shopping and cleaned up my mess in the kitchen. Then he joined me at the church latter to help me clean up, even though the playoffs were on. I could go on. And on. And on. My husband is a saint!! He is always thinking of our needs first. I love that man!
Mrs Soliz

p.s. I'm posting pictures and our little travel log soon. Promise!

Halloween... finally


So I'm a few weeks slow on my Halloween post. Sorry!!
Fun Halloween! Mom brought my little Tinkerbell Bell to trick or treat at my work. Holy cow! She got so much candy! And a ton of attention too. Which she just eats up. Then we did trunk or treat with my dad. And you guessed it, more candy! Then home for yummy scones, our family tradition. Super fun night!

Pumpkins, good food, great friends!


Good time! Our annual pumpkin carving night is something I look forward to all year. I know, I know, get a life Amanda... But, it's seriously, super fun. We had a ton of great food. Mom's chili is to die for. And the scones are my absolute favorite. I think I ate 3. Pig out! But they're so good!
Celia and I made some pretty cute pumpkins. She managed to stay somewhat not filthy. And she made a new friend. The Weaver family came this year. And they have 4 adorable kids. According to Celia, Wyatt is her new 'best buddy'. She played with him all night and during pictures she had her arm around him. So cute!
I love her little pumpkin! She picked it out at her preschool field trip last week. It honestly looks more like a big squash, as was a bugger to carve. But, I'm so proud that she's so unique in her choices! That's my girl!

Witch's Night Out!


Fun night! And it was Kaytlen's first time! It was me, Kaytlen, Mom, Aunt Cathy, Tiffany, Randee and Amanda Hansen. Fun group! And we looked good! Tiffany dressed as a spider and got so much attention. That was so funny. She even got invited to dance on stage to win a prize. She told the crowd she was from Nevada, and since we all cheered for her, we were known as the Nevada Witches the whole night. The DJ even recognized us later. So funny!! We had great food, and shopped a little. But, I'm morning the loss of our favorite little book store. Big bummer. That was our tradition to buy the kids a book. Oh well. Celia got a puffy, pink tutu this year instead. It's so ridiculously adorable on her!

Halloween


I love Halloween. Everyone knows that right?? And Pumpkin Carving is only a few days away...

Cookie Monster




Last night was our annual Halloween cookie decorating. So fun! The kids ate about a tub of frosting each and were wired. Here's Celia's moon cookie. It's got about 2 inches of purple frosting on it. She did it all by herself and was so proud! Me too!

Celia also annouced that when Hunter (the neighbor boy) comes over they are going to listen to music, dance, and kiss! AHHHH!!! She's 3. And I'm in so much trouble! Do they have nuneries for toddlers? I tried to tell her that boys were stinky and drooled. It didn't work! Help!
