The Goblins

It's been a while since I joined Mommy Moments so I would start again this month.  The good thing is that we can post just about anything now, no more  theme every week.  

 With Ms. Burrito's classmates.

The  halloween party at  Ms. Burrito's school was a fund raising.  It cost $10 per goblin errr per child so we let Mr. Burrito joined it too so that he would be accustomed with the other kids.  They had a blast.

 Before parting ways, Ms. Kitty cat wanted some photos with my goblins.

Hand and Foot Prints

When the construction team was pouring the cement at our porch, we let the kids have their hand and foot prints on the concrete before it dried out.

Ms. Burrito  used her hand while Mr. Burrito   used his foot.

I am so glad that the  construction of our new porch is finally done!  It took them  11 weeks to finish it but it's worth the wait since  our home looks  better now without the crumbling front porch in sight.  I was going to  post a picture of the  porch but I just did not have enough time.

Once again, thanks everyone for the Prayers!

School Activities, Showing, Funeral, etc.

Today is a busy day for us. Ms. Burrito has to dress up as an Angel  with other students at church then after that we have to go to the school gym for their Halloween event, Mr. Burrito is part of it too. We won't be able to attend the showing of my BIL that is scheduled at 1:00-3:00 pm today but we are going there tonight for the showing at 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. Friends can leave messages for the family by signing the guest book at Greco-Hertnick website.  The photo below was taken the day before my BIL's surgery, the last Easter  we spent with him.

Lesson learned from this ordeal:  Ask a second opinion from other doctor about your pain.  When he was  having  severe stomach pain, the doctor told him that it was an acid reflux but it was actually the cancer that was causing his pain.  Your memory will remain in our hearts Dave, you're a great guy to cherish forever!

Spooky Displays

I mentioned at my other blog that we went for a walk at my FIL's neighborhood a couple of days ago.

There were some spookty displays at some of the houses we passed through.

EJ was so worried about the  foot  above lol.

Wacky poise time, yay!

A ghost passed by when  Ms. Burrito took a picture of me and hubby.  Nah, just kidding.

It was dark when we came back, we saw some deers in front of the  college campus.

Spoooooooky shadows.

Not sure what kind of flower is this.

Nostalgic

Wedding anniversary is always a joyous moment for a couple to celebrate. It reminds us of the very day that we said our vows. Whenever my husband and I celebrate our anniversary, I always feel nostalgic because my father wasn't there to celebrate with us anymore during our nuptial.  My eldest brother had to send me to the altar during that special day  but sadly my brother is now gone too.  Both my late father  and brother  reminds me of my wedding day.

On the lighter note, I want to share  to you the  simple gifts that hubby and I gave each other  for our anniversary.

I ordered this Magnetic Levitating Globe at Red Envelope   weeks before  our anniversary so hubby won't see it.  He always surprised me present so this time I told him not to get me anything so I could  make it up to him.

He like it and the kids like it too because  the globe  is floating and they find it very entertaining while  learning different countries.  We always wanted to buy a big globe when we were still in Korea but we never got the chance to get one  over there.  This one might be small but good enough for the kids to explore the  world.

I told hubby not to get me anything but  I was surprised when he handed me this wireless mouse.  He knows that I  was struggling with my old mouse so he got me this  cute one.  Now I don't have to deal with the wire and everything.  Thanks hon!

Speaking of being nostalgic, I have a meme called Nostalgia at my Nostalgic Marveling blog.  Your post could be anything that reminds you of a place, somebody, or something such as Old pictures, souvenir from friends, family, or place that you visited, Experience or story.   Join  me every Thursday.
