Two Friday mornings ago we woke up to this.............

Yep Anthony's destroyed birthday cake done by a little boy.
It should not surprise me as the night before he had had cake and then I caught him trying to get into it again........


That Friday Lilliana also sported her first official pony tail. Yes it is not a lot but it is something!


She may not like me to put it up but oh well she deals.
I can't say we did a lot of fun things last week. I have been absolutely exhausted as Anthony has been out of town most weeks Monday-Thursday and then home. The kids were also not sleeping well so I have just been trying to function and keep up. They still seem to have a lot of energy.



Eli needs a hair cut! He also has become quit the clown and insists he is funny which he is. As last night he was in trouble at dinner. Anthony stood him up to spank him. He looks right at me and says, "mom I get a spanking!" He was so proud of himself. Needless to say Anthony just took him to his bed. Then he was acting up so Anthony went in to deal with it and Eli proceeds to yell non stop, "You spank me like this, like this, like this," over and over all the time smacking his bottom. We had to just laugh and walk away. It was pointless at that point. As we walk away we here, "I am funny and you know it!" Yep mouthy crazy and well we have our hands full!!
We did not celebrate halloween this year. We usually do not. Eli did get to go hand out some candy and I tried to sleep off my tooth pain as I had it pulled two fridays ago. That was another reason stuff was piling up. My mouth has taken a good week to feel better. All that to say the kids got their annual card from Great Grandma Gloria. Eli is at the age where he can open them and loved it! They sat and looked at them for a while. Lilliana chewed on hers more than anything but that is ok!

Lilliana has figured out if she does this funny giggle we will laugh at her so she does it all the time. She I think is going to be our kid always looking for a laugh. She also has grown fond of this toy. It has become the favorite and she screeches anytime we pull it out.

She also still loves her jumparoo and boy can she jump! She just gets going and goes higher and higher!

She is usually very happy and loves her brother. They feed off each other. She also started saying "eat" this weekend. She is talking way earlier than Eli but still not crawling forward as Eli was pretty much walking at this point. That is ok with me though! I don't feel like beginning the chase game yet!

This weekend Anthony and I did the usual catch up! We also went on a date. The kids have found new places with me when I cook. Lilliana is at my feet and Eli is on his stool trying to help with whatever I will let him do. He is such a big helper.


Anthony and Eli also got the leaves raked. Eli was determined while doing this and had such concentration.





He had fun! I worked on Christmas presents. That will be what I am doing for the rest of the month but then I can enjoy December as we are pretty much done with Christmas shopping. I started this summer doing it because Anthony usually gets laid off around this time. It is nice that it will be done. We finished up a lot of it when Anthony and I went on our date. We had a great time. It was a great weekend. It has just been a busy week and half. On a not so good note Anthony's car died for good so we are praying and deciding what we are going to do there. We probably will upgrade to a newer car for me and he will get my car. We will see. Right now we are just using one car and it is working no problem. We have done it before. Eli is also sick with a nasty cold. He was miserable most of yesterday but seems to be better today! Hopefully this week I can keep up a little better!
