I have days and days to catch up on!!On Friday Scott and I took Irelyn to the Disney HalloweenTime at California Adventure. We had planned months ago to go and it was finally time! I was so incredibly excited...and Scott, well he was excited for me. Truth be told he doesn't really care for Disney, but he knows how much it excites Irelyn and I so he goes with it. I tried to put Irelyn in her cute lady bug costume, but unfortunately she wasn't a fan of the dress. She kept trying to pull the tull off. Finally I gave in and put her spider costume on instead.We went to McDonalds on the way to the park and Irelyn ate inside for the first time. She was more interested in people watching than actually consuming her chicken mcnugget. I wonder where she gets that from??It was so neat seeing all the costumes at the park. I LOVE HALLOWEEN (in case you didn't know) and I adore seeing lil kids in all sorts of costumes. DCA had a candy corn stage in the center of the park where they had funny characters dress up and dancing. They played kid friendly music and a bunch of kids were dancing. Irelyn LOVES music and had a great time dancing! They played the "Chicken Dance" and she clapped like a pro, I was so excited! I was so touched by everything going on that I actually got tears in my eyes, yes, I'm that corny and emotional. But really, moments like these are what being a mommy are all about...and I love being a mommy!On Saturday I went with the girls to the club for their Annual Halloween Bash. I can't believe how great we all looked! Schanelle rocked her kitty costume! Amber looked fierce in her get up and Carla was adorably cute as a gothic scarecrow.Sunday was a pretty mellow day. We got up early (as usual) and for some reason I suggested we go to Hometown Buffet for breakfast. I typically hate this place and we rarely go...but for some reason it sounded good. I suggested it to Scott and he was like, yes! He jumps at any chance to go there for breakfast. After that we went to Sam's and picked up a few staples. Irelyn rode on my back in the Ergo and she loved it!That afternoon we carved pumpkins. Irelyn wasn't sure what to make of the whole process. In the beginning she was inquisitive and curious, kept asking, "whats that" and pointed at all the pumpkin gunk. She didn't seem to enthused about the slime though!I have a BUNCH of pictures to upload from the camera and as soon as I do I'll post pictures here!!
