I Be Bad Guy Mama

I guess gone are the days where I can pick out Dylan's Halloween costumes.Gone are cuddly puppy dogs, fuzzy bears, cute froggies.Seems my little boy is growing past cute and cuddly and on to scary and mean!I had thought that I would have the kids dress up as a Kitty (Marissa) and Puppy (Dylan) for Halloween this year.I even saw a cute puppy dog costume at Target for Dylan and was just trying to find a cute Kitty Cat for Marissa. She said she either wanted to be a Kitty or a Witch.So Monday Dylan and I were shopping and I said to him "let's go look at costumes"off we went to the Halloween section of Super Center Walmart ...and he was oohing and ahhing over all the outside decorations and pumpkins and such.I started looking through the toddler costumes and saw a cute, cute, cute "Itsy Bitsy Spider", he said "no", a fuzzy bear, he said "no", a frog, again "no". He said "bad guy" ...what? "bad guy, Mama" then "I be bad guy". I looked to where he pointed and it was the skeleton. He wanted to be a Skeleton.No matter how I tried to convince him otherwise, he was insistent. "I be bad guy"So this year for Halloween, Dylan will be a Skeleton and Marissa will be a Witch

Long Long Time

it's been a freakin' long time since I've been here...let's see what we've missed...

I did start working at the manufacturing plant as a contract recruiter back in June. I like the work, I've been working 1 to 2 days from home and the rest at the office.

We went on vacation in July. We went to NY then the Pocono's and had a really good time. We finally saw Frank & Yo's new place, it's really nice. Then we went to Michelle's bridal shower. Stayed over at Aunt Marion's where Dylan had an allergic reaction to almond cookies and we had him in the emergency room. We went back to Ellie's and then went to the Pocono's where we spent one day at a water park, a day at the pool at Big Bass Lake, a day shopping and then a day at a kids play place. Went back to NY for one day because John was doing a dinner at the American Legion.

Liz came back to PA with John, so we spent a long weekend with her. It was nice, Marissa really enjoys her visits.

We went to The Wiggles with the kids.

Then August was preparing for back to school. Marissa started kindergarten on August 27. She seems to really like it. Dylan has orientation for preschool on 9/5 and then starts 9/11. 9/12 he starts speech through Dart. He's talking soooo much now and even his articulation is picking up.

Yesterday was his birthday and we went to The Zoo and then back home he opened presents from Grandma & Peepaw. He especially loved the baseball glove! His Baseball Birthday Party is on Saturday. I'm still waiting for responses, but I think we'll have a decent turnout.

Today he started peeing on the potty! I'm so excited for this new phase for him! It's just a start and I know the road can be rough ahead in this phase, but it's a start...I owe it all to the M&M's LOL.
