entry 12 - Park Day, Fire night

Rick and I took the little ones to the park today. We had a picnic lunch, which was pretty yummy, and then the kids played for about 3 hours straight. Rick and I chit chatted, hollered at the kids a few times, and got to swing and have some laughs ourselves.

even with the kids playing full force, they still had plenty of energy when we left, that was pretty surprising. Rick got fire wood, and then the kids got back to playing at mama gino's outside on the playset.
Kaley and I started the fire, the kids still playing around the yard, later the kids veged out to the TV while the big kids had a great time by the fire! and one "special" big kid spent some time by the toilet. lol, he almost had a face - to - face with it, he luckily didn't get that far.

entry 11 - alot of time at "the Chierighino's" aka my mom's or Mama Gino's

Spending alot of time at my mom's with everyone is really nice. we didn't do much this day, it was still fun, and Veronica somehow managed to get into some trouble anyway.
My mom left up the Christmas tree so it would be up when the family was all together for the "Chierighino Christmas". It is kinda funny seeing a christmas tree this far into January

Day 9 - Party, Chierighino Christmas, & Tattoos

the girls had a great party, not as many showed up because of the cold, but they didn't notice and still had a blast! The cake pops were a hit with everyone, the pizza was yummy, almost not enough, I would have liked left overs, but cant win every time.
oh my voice was MIA today, I had to whisper the whole party, not much fun. It was very difficult to communicate at all.
We had the Chierighino Christmas, hmm where are some pics??

spent all day getting ready for Veronica and Valerie's rock star b-day party. I hand made cake pops a little over 100, and 50 had great detail, and looked like Hello Kitty!
this day was also the begining of my voice going away.

Day 7 - sammie shop trip

The girls and I got ready and headed out with Corey, Conald, Rick and the boys,to mom and aunt sherry's sandwich shop in Friendswood.The kids had a loud good time, ate PBJ, chips and yummy cookies. The older kiddos, we had hoagies that were delish.We didn't stay long as the shop is small, and it was pretty darn cold outside, so we headed home.Momma Gino got the grandkids pop toy guns -pink for the girls
