Our Halloween Costume...it's Never to Early!

I know, I know, school has not even started for most of my blogging friends but since the last holiday we really got to celebrate was the Fourth of July the kids start asking me about what they will be for Halloween! This year I really wanted my son to be a superhero. We have done Eeyore, Devil, Joker, Transformer, and Mario. Most of those were homemade costumes. But finally we are into buying costumes. I hate dealing with the stores. So I have this wonderful opportunity to order one from a Wholesale Costume Club.

Lil Ro and I looked through the costumes for quite a few minutes and finally we settled on this Batman costume. I placed the order on August 16th and we received it on August 24th! It came UPS and my son was beyond ecstatic when he saw the Costume Warehouse Envelope!

I patiently waited for my neighbor child to go home so we could start our modeling session. First of all I was very impressed that this is a Rubies Costume.  I know they make a good quality costume that is light but comfortable for your child. The costume is a retro batman look but honestly I did not want the Dark Knight look as the grey will reflect at night better then say black or dark blue!

My favorite things about this costume is that the bodysuit is One Piece! Also the belt is separate so I can tighten or loosen it to my son's liking. The mask and cape is attached together so you do not have to worry about losing them! I also love that the black cape is lined with a royal blue lining so you can open your wings and appear to take off! It is a very authentic looking Batman costume. The muscles are comical and make my boy look bigger then he is. I  He is absolutely in love with it so I cannot complain too much. It is for one night and it will make him feel invincible that evening.

The only negative thing I can say is that the sizing is a bit off. I ordered a size 7-10 but then the label says for kids ages 5-7. If I had known that I would have ordered a size up. However, since Halloween is less then 2 months away I know it will still fit him comfortably. Also the cuffs are a bit smaller then I anticipated. I will put in a couple of cans and try to stretch them out before his big Trick or Treat day! I honestly think this is a manufacture thing and not a company thing. Another thing I did not care for was there was only 1 Velcro at the top of the suit! But I can fix that with a safety pin or even additional Velcro.

The Wholesale Costume Club has incredible prices though! This costume is less then $30! They have this great feature where you can sign up to become a new member and you save even more money! I am definitely going to keep this site as a favorite to buy costumes and dress up clothes. They are good quality costumes with great prices and even faster shipping. It is rare to find a place like this and I hope to become a very frequent costumer of theirs! I am now looking at Rupunzel stuff there for my daughter. My son shall rise to be the greatest Batman ever thanks to this company! I know it's not even September but let's get our costume shopping done before all the good ones are taken!

Time to Move On

So I am coming to peace with a few things right now and I am going to only look forward. 2008 is supposed to be the year of new starts for me. Here is my thing. Yesterday Rogelio and I had a long talk. We both long for bigger and better things. I really really want to become a social worker but here in the Springs there is not much to be done and I am stuck in a rut. My hubby wants to become an engineer and a guy at his work has taken him under his wing. So I think it is coming down to what it has been coming down to for the last 9 years. We are seriously thinking of leaving Colorado. I long for sandy beaches and for fresh fruit year round. I long for the mountains and a yard for my children to play in. I long for family who stands by me thick and thin. I long for my home, my place I can finally become all I can be. Yea I know it sounds dumb. I am going to be 28 and I am thinking of just leaving all this behind. But with most of the stuff we are going through really there is not much to leave behind. I long to go to California. I long to be with my in laws. I long for undeniable support...maybe then I wouldnt hold onto a dream of perfection in this world.

My children are making me so proud. Roana is trying her best to tolerate her brother but honestly at 2 he is a royal terror. We went to a segunda and I scored her & him some very nice clothing. I also picked up my son a barbie guitar but he loves it. I then went to kmart and scored BIG. I got 7 plug ins, 1 hairbrush set and a flat iron for the whopping amount of 6.45! I love bargain hunting and I love the fact my dd helps find bargains with me. LoL

She is doing so good in school. I told her today baby you are smart dont listen to idiots. Yes people in the past have put her down because she has been silent but this year she blossomed from a bud to a beautiful flower. She makes me so proud and I have to remind myself that I need to tell her.

Rogelito is growing so fast. I am a terrible mommy with him. He still had bottles. But tonight I said enough is enough. I bought 6 sippys and dh and I agree that he can have 1 at night till 2. He did really good. He cracks me up. He says "Tanks." and he is a big boy that doesnt want to be carried around. Today he even picked out his own outfit. Where did my precious baby go? Why do they have to grow so fast?

That leads me to baby fever. I think I want another baby. I am terrified about it but I think one more baby would be it. I envision myself with a child end of this year or next depending what happens with this move. I am ready to complete my family and that unborn child holds my heart strings. Sounds crazy I know but I know up above that baby child is waiting to be sent and says God she will be my mom. She is not perfect but you know she is mine. I will have to seriously talk to Ro cause as I have said before my iud would be an issue for now. (But I have a friend who got pregnant on one) LoL

Well that is what is going on with me right now. My hopes and dreams. I hope you all enjoy. Ro and I are good thanks for looking. Good night and God Bless!

Migraine headache and sick kids

So it has led to this. Today I have a migraine. One of those that make you throw up. Then my dd woke up and decided to worship the porceline god herself. My house is so entertaining today. I am going to have to clean it spotless on top of things because my hubby decided to let a friend come over. Oh yeah baby so excited...hint of sarcasm. Then I called him to let him know what is going on and he had the nerve to get mad at me. He said please email me because the guys tease me for the phone ringing for me so much. But then I am spending too much time online...grr damned if i do damned if I dont! Sorry we have a family. Well that is it for today. Please keep an eye out for this guy I posted as missing his family is really scared.

Can't we Just Be family?

Well today was a very long day. I actually went off on big Ro. I told him in no such terms I am tired of it all. Sometimes I need a break too. To my surprise he took Ro-n in another room and Roana to hers and I had a whole 15 minutes to myself. I spent it online of course but it was worth it.

The Big Ro got a call from our BFF she had to go to a car dealership and needed a translator. I had him drop the kids and I at the mall so they could play happily. It was there I realized alot of things. I forgot my camera for one so no cute pictures of the kiddos playing on the big foam cars. Then I looked around as Ro-N screamed and played happily. My husband was not at my side. I was lonely. All the other mommies had their men to pick up the babies and I was by myself. I do not want to be a single mom. I did not sign up for that.

I do not want to be neglected I guess. But I am learning my hubby was raised to be at a friends beckoning. It gets lonely being me sometimes. I guess that is why I cling so tightly to my invisible friends. I am so excited ladies. A friend of mine from Lil Ro's birthboard may be moving close to me in a few months. I will finally have someone who I can relate too. I can finally have a friend with kids close to age with mine. I will finally be accepted and have another confidante.

Grr I need to vent again...So sorry. My husband lately has been talking to an old friend online. Well they switched numbers and they were talking tonight. Rogelio asked about his ex girlfriend. The one he lied to me about never having. You see when we first met he said he was not involved with anyone. Then after I moved in on his birthday this woman called him. I talked to our room mates and they showed me letters from her and everything. I was hurt. Honestly I never got over it. I married him but now that he is inquiring about her it pisses me off! Respect me....grrr I know its history but dont inquire I am sooooo tempted to find my ex and find out how he is...just to give him a taste of his own medicine. I am so mad!

Oh well, life is short. I just gotta live it to the most. My life is not that bad...just sometimes a little lonely. Thanks for caring and god bless. I will try to update daily.

Family Shamily

So my wonderful family is at it again on myspace. I went to a board and asked for advice and they advised me to order a cease and decease letter for them. I am saddened that my sister allows her husband to go that low. We were supposed to be blood and I am now learning the truth.

I didnt tell you guys about what happened last? Well my dh is mexican and who cares right? Apparently they do...they keep saying things like Ro, Ro, Ro your boat back across the border. Well he has been married to me 9 years he is not going anywhere. Jerks. They also posted racial jokes. I know I know stop paying attention. I am just mexican by heart but it still hurts. Grrrr.

This last couple of days are showing me who is who. In light of drama on one board I have seen who is who. I will not let them tell me who I can be friends with. On another note, my bff made me gorgeous cards for Christmas. Also my friends here in the springs gave me way too much stuff for christmas. They gave me cologne (Jlo Still and another one), a pair of jeans and a nice sweater, they gave our family a blanket and gave dh a Polo jacket and the kids some things too. Also we went down to Pueblo and we had a nice time down there. My kiddos are doing great. 3 days till school and i am so ready. Also 3 days till the big Game. GO BUCKS!

A friend of mine on another board may be moving down here with me and if she does we will definately have to have a meet up. I am very excited to make my board ladies more then just my board ladies. LoL

Oh well Im just jammering now. Enjoy these pics of the little ones.

I had to find out

I chopped it all off. The lady who cut my hair asked me 4 times if I was sure. Yes...too much pulling. Well I love it. I had to do new who does your child look more like and sure enough the results changes. My daughter looks like dh and ro-n somewhat like me. I am already going crazy. Roana is out of school for 2.5 weeks. I am making a special trip with the kids today. 1st stop segunda, second stop dollar tree and 3rd stop the family dollar. I am a bargain hunter thats what I do. I have to keep these kids busy or we will all drive each other insane. Rogelio was supposed to have a 4 day weekend but we are taking it down to 3. We could use the extra funds for other stuff. I don't mind at all. Lol. Hope all is well. Going to clean the house and then get the rugrats ready for our mini adventure.

What I am truly Thankful for

I am so thankful lately for my husband and children. I wonder why God has blessed me with such happiness alot of times. I have Big Ro, a pain in the rear sometimes but when it comes down to it a very sweet guy who adores me and doesn't want to see me hurt. Then I have Roana a holy terror but so sweet when you go the extra mile for her. It wasn't even that much. I made cupcakes for her class and she saw them and they are not perfect but she took her arms wrapped them around me and told me "they are beautiful" thank you mommmy. Brought tears to my eyes. Then there is lil Ro so sweet and handsome. He is sick right now with fever but when he curls in my arms and looks at me with those handsome eyes I just feel my heart swell with pride. This is what the holidays are all about. Being with your family who needs you. Celebrating with the ones who are in your life daily.

This year has been a pretty strange one. I admit it. In the beginning of 2007 I was a whole different person. I was determined to unite my whole family. Now here towards the end I learned you have to stand up for the people who truly care and believe. I think the ugliness has reared its ugly head. I have seen a lot of truth in people I thought I loved. Amazingly I thought I loved them back but when they try to hurt my family I just shove them out. 2008 is going to be a rocking year. I am determined to make them eat their words. I am going to hold tightly to my family.

I remember a lot of things. I will post a day soon with everything. Until then I will go shop and finish my spirit. I am grateful for you friends and a this place I can vent without it being turned around and thrown in my face. I am thankful for life and most of all my beautiful family.
