Happy Birthday To My Husband

Posted by Heather Manning On November - 6 - 2011

November-1

Yep, now he’s only 7 years younger than me …. until December 15 that is.  Then I’ll be 8 years older than him again.

Color me a cougar I guess.

Yesterday he decided he was throwing himself an impromptu birthday party.  His friend Omar wanted to take the night off to celebrate Pato’s birthday.  Pato thought, let’s grill out.

I have been pretty much useless for awhile with my shoulder out like it is.  The house was trashed.

3 vacuum cleaners and none of them are working right.

Dishes piled up in the sink.

You get the point.

Pato ran to JC Penny’s, they were supposedly having a 75-80% off of everything sale.  Turned out there were no vacuum cleaners left.

I’m not sure what took him so long, but he didn’t get home until 30 minutes before everyone was supposed to be here.

I did what I could, taken breaks in between to give my shoulder some time off, then we busted butt when we got here.

Mom ended up not coming, I couldn’t get a hold of my brother Steve, but my sister Abby and her family and my brother Josh and his family and Omar came.  We had so much fun.  We grilled out and had chorizo, chicken legs, steak tacos, these snowflake cookies that I made into cookie bars.  I made better than sex cake, the recipe is here

The boys had VSOP cognac to drink, I had spiked tea. 

I held my little nephew Aiden for awhile, showed my sister how my ring sling worked so she could borrow that, danced around and just had a blast.

My brother Steve just called and said he is stopping by after church to eat cake.  Pato has to work but we might head to his work tonight to eat celebrate there.  I’d make another cake, but I don’t feel like it.  I didn’t have the ingredients yet for Pato’s cake, he brought them home with him 30 minutes before the party started.  Whipped it out in the time it took him to cook and everyone to eat.  Woot woot me!

Then I decided that this Friday, we’d have a sleepover with all cousins who don’t breastfeed.  (Unless of course Aiden wants to have a few bottles of his mama’s milk – he can come too.)  We aren’t sure about the younger ones but I thought pizza, movies, popcorn and all that jazz with Aunt Heather might be fun!

Happy birthday Pato!  I love you!

Have a great day!

Death Is Where?

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 30 - 2011

I was sitting in bed with Alyce the other day when the dogs started barking like mad.

Alyce is my beautiful little 4 year old.  She is sweet as an angel sometimes.

October-8

See?

Back to my story.

I looked at the window, no one there.

Hmmm.  Why are the dogs going crazy.

My daughter, my sweetness, my little angel looked at me, and with the straightest face said….

Death is here.

uh – duh – WHAT?

Death is here?

mmm – hmmm (nodding her head yes)

DEATH?

Yes.

Is here?

Yes.

What?

I’m just kidding mom.

I got out of bed to go to the bathroom.

Leecy, did you say death is here?

It’s ok mom, it’s all clear.

I guess death passed by?

All clear.

Have a great day.

What Is Scarier Than A Haunted House?

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 29 - 2011

October-7

That would be my son.

My SIL’s favorite holiday is Halloween.  She goes ALL out.  I enjoy it too, but I’m just not as creative as she is.  If you haven’t checked out me being a smart alec for Jordan’s school costume, see yesterday’s post.

Now that Jordan and my niece Taylor are teenagers (or almost… in February… in Jordan’s case), they can get out and do more fun things, according to my 7 year old at least.  Because you know, there’s nothing fun to do when you’re 7…. or 4…. or 2.  (I had very ticked off children last night who thought they should go too.)

Shelley has been having a blast dressing Taylor up as the freaky girl from The Ring and having her stand at the edge of the street just staring at cars.  It is funny.  Drunk people at the town bar pee their pants.

That’s not right of me is it?

Last night, Taylor called and asked Jordan if he wanted to go scaring.

He got his black robe on and went with them.  Shelley had her (make up) way with my son.  That scab falling off of his forehead actually was stuck to his head, this was when he came home and was taking it off.  If you haven’t seen Taylor dressed up as the girl from The Ring, see it here.  My sister in law seriously is good with make up.

They stood in front of the haunted house the high school kids were putting on and just stared.

They were told they were scarier than the haunted house was.

Makes a mother so proud.

Have a great day!

We Be Morbid Round Here

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 28 - 2011

Remember yesterday I posted about Jordan’s school assigning Halloween costumes (after I bought one that he wanted)?  And how I wasn’t bitter at all about having to put out more money on another costume?

He was assigned Elvis.

His Halloween costume is the grim reaper, kind of sorta.  He was going to turn it into a zombie, but he liked the costume alone, so he’s going as a mass of black more or less.

The assignment was supposed to be current and creative.

What do you think?

It’s hard to create Elvis’ pompadour when you’re working with a mohawk and your combs are all missing.

My sister in law and I can’t stop cracking up.

Taylor (my niece) was assigned a police officer.

Wait until I have pictures of her.

Let’s say she’s kind of a zombie police officer.

Sweet!

We’re waiting for calls from the counselor questioning the sanity of our family.

Have a great day!

Carving The Pumpkins

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 26 - 2011

Pato bought 4 pumpkins and left me alone with 4 children who all wanted to do it themselves.

Fabulous idea you say?

I was cursing him when I was done.

Only took 3 hours for me to gut and carve 3 pumpkins and for Jordan to do his own.

And I did it on a night when I swear it could have snowed.

Outside.

Leecey’s witch.

Nano’s  unrecognizable one. I was trying to disguise the coloring. It is a ghost.

image

Kat’s 2 ghosts.

image

Jordan’s – the evil looking jack-o-lantern.  He did it all on his own.

Have a great day!

That Poor Cat

Posted by Heather Manning On October - 19 - 2011

My cat has the patience of a saint, I tell you.

Monday, I laid down for a nap because I was feeling like doggy doo.  I laid the little two down with me(for those new to my blog, Alyce is 4 1/2 and Nano is 2 1/2).  Obviously, as you’ll find out as you read further, I passed out fell asleep first.

Two HOURS later I woke up to my oldest (12 1/2) coming in from school.  I heard him say, NANO! WHAT IS ALL OVER YOUR HANDS?

Then I heard a little voice saying, Nano did it.

Jordan said, ALYCE!  IT’S ALL OVER YOUR HANDS TOO!

He walked further in the house and I heard OH MY GOSH! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

I rolled out of my coffin sick bed, stumbled to the office area, where I just about died.

My poor black and white cat.

Now, I didn’t grab my camera, though, if I was a true digiscrapper, I totally would have, but I felt so bad for my cat I couldn’t waste time.

Damon, my sweet little cat, was covered in yellow.  Not one piece of clean fur was on the cat’s body.  Not even the part he was desperately trying to clean.

I moved on to the kitchen.

I seriously had to stop and breathe.

A whole 18-count carton of eggs smashed all over my kitchen floor.  On my table, on the carpet in the family room, as I walked back out, I noticed more in different spots on my carpet in various rooms.  Egg shells scattered here and there.

Went back out to the office and looked at Damon, looking at me, like you gave birth to them, I didn’t.

Now I understand why you had me neutered.

Seriously, who just sits there and lets kids rub egg all over your fur?

My cat.

I should be thankful that my cat has a very pleasant disposition.

Jordan attempted to pick Damon up under his pits, so as not to cover himself in egg, and took him to the shower.

Lucky us, our cat runs TO the shower when he hears the water come on.  I’m not joking, this is a different day, but I have proof:

September17 September18

You don’t know how many times I go in the bathroom to find the cat in the shower with Jordan, or the girls, or attempting to get in the shower.  Swear, he has fresh water all day long. :)

Damon didn’t mind the water part at all, but he wasn’t fond of the shampoo, and Jordan has the scratches to prove it.

When the poor thing got out, he escaped from the towel, looked at me like, thanks, I now have NO dignity, and went to lick himself dry.

It gets better.

I was doped up on cold medicine when Pato got home from work.

I went and sat outside for a bit, thinking maybe the cool air would clear up my coughing.

Nothing abnormal happened.

I went back inside and went to bed.

Got up in the morning, opened the door to check the temp, and who comes shooting in the door?

Damon.

He snuck out past me when I went out the night before and spent the night prowling I’m assuming.

So thankful she turned out to be a he and he is neutered and up to date on his vaccines.

I felt so bad.

He probably thought he’d take off for my brother’s house and live with their cats after the whole egg incident, and then changed his mind because it was too cold, then no one opened up the door for him.

I’d feel worse if he hadn’t tried to escape again last night and tonight.

He has not learned his lesson.

Patience of a saint that cat has.

He’s probably wishing some nice old couple without children had adopted him now.

Have a great day!
