HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Better late than never... haha! The day before Halloween, I went with Michelle to St. Elizabeth for Madison's class Halloween Party. Madison made cupcakes, played bingo, pin the hat on the witch, and made spider suckers. She seemed to have a lot of fun with her friends! 

For Halloween night, I was with Michelle and Patrick in NOLA. Michelle, Andre', Patrick, and I took Madison, Blake, and Elizabeth Trick-or-Treating. We had a really nice time at Linda's and Bob's house. Mrs. Linda made 2 kinds of soups and delicious treats! She also ordered pizzas! We really had a nice night!

SJA Halloween Carnival

This past weekend, We brought Madison and Blake to the SJA Halloween Carnival. They had such a good time dressing up as Batman and Bat woman! They got to make Halloween picture frames, decorate pumpkins and cookies, rode the train, played with the SJA girls with the parachute, and played lots of games! Over all, the weekend was great!

A Fun Filled Fair Weekend!

This weekend, we all went to the 1st annual Divine Mercy Seafood Festival. They had great rides, games, and yummy food! Madison and Blake each did a fair dance with their classes. They both did such a good job! Maddie even got to do a cartwheel on stage!

Birthdays Galore!

There are a couple of events that I want to catch up on! The first being Sam's Birthday party and the second being MawMaw Rita's 91st Birthday!

Sam is a friend of Jon's. We helped her celebrate her birthday a couple of weeks ago.

For MawMaw Rita's birthday, we went out to eat at the casino for crab leg night. The food was delicious; as always! after dinner we all went to the casino and gambled a little. Over all, we had a great time! We kept her out until about 11:30pm! 

I have pictures but I have to locate them!!

Happy Birthday Momma!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMA!! I LOVE YOU!!

Today, Momma celebrated her 58th Birthday! She had a full day of fun. She went to Christ the King (LSU) for a daily Mass with Dad and Steven, at noon. This evening, Aunt Margaret treated Mom, Michelle, Andre', Madeline, Kati, Alycia, Aunt Paula, Mary Reagan, and me to Bumble Lane Spa. They were hosting a fundraiser for a Lady who used to work there; who has become very ill. We had such a great time at the spa party. Everyone was allowed to have 3 services done. they had waxing, nails, massages, facials, and so much more. The 3 I chose were: eyebrow waxing, manicure, and a head, neck, shoulder, and foot massage. It was GREAT! So relaxing! I think that everyone really enjoyed themselves. Alycia even won a door prize - a Barns-and-Noble gift card! When we left, we each received a "goodie bag" with a T-shirt that says, "Life is a Gift... Bumble Lane Spa for a Cause 2012". The goodie bags also contained a variety of spa samples. The food at the event was also great. They had crab cakes, pasta, meatballs, sweets, fruit, and drinks.

When we got home, Andre', Jon, and I gave Mom her birthday gifts. From Michelle, Andre', Steven, and me - We gave her a "candy card" that I learned how to make off of Pinterest.com. Jon and I gave her a basket with a candle, soap, red kitchen hand towels, and a red soap dispenser. (Mom loves to have red in the kitchen!) I really think that Mom enjoyed her special day!
