My Journey

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!  This year I let Ariah choose our costume theme this year and she chose The Mandalorian. Ariah was the Mandalorian,  Amaya was grogu and I chose to be Grogu's bassinet because someone had to hold the baby and I was not about to mess up the theme. I think we pulled it off. 

Today I decided to hop on the train and treat myself to a museum IMAX movie entitled "Blue Whales Return Of The Giants" 3D. My deep love and respect for the ocean knows no bounds. I've been craving to be near the ocean lately because being around large bodies of water soothes my spirits and calms my very being, but with school and taking care of the kids I haven't been able to go to the beach or get on a boat in long Beach or the marina so I figured an IMAX movie about huge whales in the ocean is just what I needed.  The one thing I didn't count on today was #1 running for the expo line train, and #2 going to the IMAX on a day when schools were there on a field trip. Starting with #1, I ran like hell and managed to catch my train because I think the bus driver took pity on me watching my ass run in flip flops with a lunch bag in tow (cuz yall know theater popcorn is too damn high). For #2 at least the kids sthu when the lights went low and were silent

My 2nd and last baby turned 1 and is now officially a wee toddler. I cannot even deal. All I did for the occasion is have a little gathering at my sisters house. We had good picnic foods, pizza and cupcakes.  We watched movies and played video games and I dressed the kid up in "The Hungry Little Caterpillar" dresses.  I'm just really blessed to have my children. Her birthday was just perfect. Now all I have to do is prepare for Christmas
