Happy Halloween

What do you mean it is the middle of May? Ok, so I am a little late.The pictures were stuck on my camera.  But I can still show off the adorable pictures, right?

So this was Willow's first Halloween, Anthony 2nd year of being able to go off on his own, and Joey's first. Of course it had to be a really crappy night. It was raining so hard. But that didn't stop us. So the boys went off with their best friends, James and Kianna. Jimmy and I took the girls out.

CSI and FBI at my house for a murder...

Mother's Day was eventful. My kids played CSI all morning while we were making breakfast. It was really cute. Made me realize how much they take in from the crime shows, both dramatic and real, that I watch. They knew what a warrant was, and made crime scene tape. They came to question me, asking about my alibi, and their Daddy's too. Turns out, the culprit was right under their noses. Joey and Serenity used their FBI badges, and their crime scene kits. Even lifted prints from my laptop. It was so nice tho have some time in the morning that required no technology (ex. computers and video games) and no bickering! That was the best part. I love watching them play and be creative. I swear Joey and Serenity can make something to play with out of anything, and they are good at dragging Anthony into it, even when he doesn't really want to. you know, he is too cool now that he is 13. LOL

Aloe planting

My mom loves plants. And she hates when I buy her presents. So with Mother's Day a few days away, I was raking my brain on what to give her. While watering my plants, I saw that my aloe plant was sprouting some babies. Well, my mom is very clutsy (like me) and she burns herself a lot. So that would be a great Mother's Day present.

Getting ready to start replanting.

While I was replanting, Willow was playing next to me on her balnket in the grass. She loves being outside.

While she was playing, she discovered a flower just out of her reach. It didn't take long before she got her hands on it and was taking the petals off.

Here is my beautiful aloe plant. I have only had it for a few months. It was just a baby itself when I got it. You can see the tiny little shoots coming off the main roots.

Here is my Mom's new baby aloe plant. It has 2 small shoots in it.

Here is my aloe plant in its new home. The other pot it was in was too small and since I was unpotting it, I figured I would give it a bigger pot.
