A wee bit tired...

and I don't mind at all. This morning, well I guess last night and this morning I granted my nine year old son a favor. He has been wanting to see the new Transformers movie since they announced a sequel. He loves the first one and watches it over and over. I have to admit, I love it too, and I will watch it with him over and over too. I had promised to take him to the midnight show, and believe me, he didn't forget. All day yesterday that is all he talked about.

Both Kai and Nachito spent the afternoon at a birthday party and played on a water slide for hours. I thought that for sure, he would be so tired and we'd have to skip the midnight show. Oh no, not my kid. By 10 o'clock last night he was anxious. He couldn't sit still and quite honestly, was driving me crazy. I finally just gave up and jumped in the car and headed down to the theater. It was pretty intense. Parking was hard to come by and the lines were pretty ridiculous. Fortunately and I had ordered our tickets online prior to leaving the house. We were assigned a theater and I found us some seats. I went to grab our snacks and we waited, and waited.

Finally the trailers started. Nachito was so fidgety. I asked him if he was tired and he said "No, I'm just so excited, I can't wait." And at about 12:30 the movie finally started. It was worth the wait. Very exciting and a lot of explosions. A lot of twists and turns. If you liked the first one, you will love this one too. When it ended, he clapped and had the biggest smile on his face. We got home past three in the morning.

Nachito fell asleep the minute his head touched his pillow/teddy. And as I left the house this morning on four hours of sleep, I checked in on him. He had a smile on his face as he slept. And I left with a smile on my face, for even though today will be rough for me, I know that I will remember our movie date forever.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start.

Flashback Friday

Let's Rock n' Roll at Kassandra Paulyna's 3rd Birthday!! Saturday, September 11 th , 1999 For Kassie's 3rd Birthday, we decided to keep it small. We hosted it at our home. I was pregnant with Nachito , and I was in no mood to make a big party. The theme was fun to work with. For invitations, I went to a local record shop and bought old 45's. I made new labels with party info on them. They were exactly like the one in the photos, except on real records. I made record sleeves for them and handed them out. They were very cute. We made record shaped candy bags out of black and red felt. We had a hula hoop contest, and a bubble gum blowing contest too. My mom made Kassie her poodle skirt, and I added the K to her shirt. I was able to find her black and white oxfords at Payless . My sister made milk shake center pieces out of old fashioned coca cola glasses, tinted Styrofoam , carnations and a straw. Buddy cut out the juke box shape out of styrafoam, and I painted it. I...
