Hope everyone had a safe and happy halloween. This year we didn't do much because unfortunately Felipe had bronchitis and a double ear infection so we played it safe and stayed home considering it was drizzling.
Eventhough we didn't go out I did dress them up in their costumes so my mom could see them. She had bought them matching superhero costumes so I thought it was only fair for her to enjoy seeing them. She came over and brought them some candy.
Early in the day Felipe had a small party at school with all his classmates. They did a little parade around all the school and then ended in their own classrooms for their parties.
Take a look at a selection of photos I took today: Halloween Photo Album

Happy 90th Birthday
Today I want to wish Maria, my mom's mother-in-law, a Happy 90th Birthday. Eventhough her birthday was a few days ago today we had a big celebration for her with family and friends.It was a surprise party and it turned out great. At first when she arrived she didn't realize it was for her... She said hi to everyone and then when she finally sat down she looks at my mom and asks "Is this party really for me?".
It was nice to be able to celebrate such a huge milestone.

Pajama Day
I just dropped off Felipe at school and he was wearing his pajamas... No I did not forget to change him. Today was Pajama Day at school and if you paid $1 to the United Way they could wear pajamas. I didn't think many kids would do it but about 90% of the school were in their PJs including some teachers.

Addams Family
I have always liked the Addams Family movie and when I saw the Broadway show was coming to the Arsht Center I told Adrian I wanted to go see it. At first he laughed at me and called me crazy because he thought I was kidding. I was very serious about wanting to go see it but I knew we are on a budget so I didn't expect to go see it.
One day while he is at work he called me to tell me that one of his clients offered him tickets to any show at the Arsht center so I asked to see if she could get us some for this show. I was lucky.... I just got back from seeing an amazing and funny performance.
I strongly recommend this show to anyone that loves the Addams Family.

New Bedroom Set
Tonight we will be sleeping in our brand new king size bed.
Yesterday we went to IKEA to buy ourselves a new bedroom set because for the past few nights we haven't had a bed.
Now that I think back, it seems like a funny story but it wasn't at first.
This past Saturday we were having lunch when my mother-in-law calls and asks if we are still selling our bedroom set. I tell that yes we are still selling it and that it includes the TV. She then tells me that she knows someone who is moving and looking for a bedroom set. We hang up and I tell Adrian. Obviously we assume that if the lady wants it we will have a few days to get everything organized but not five minutes have past and my mother-in-law calls back. She then informs me that the lady will be in our house in about an hour to pick it up. Yes you read correctly the lady was actually in the process of moving that day so since she had the moving truck she thought it would be smart to come and pick it up immediately.
Now it is time to rush and get EVERYTHING out of the drawers and find places to put all this stuff. It is amazing how much you can store in a bedroom set that has a million drawers. Once we finish emptying out everything Adrian and I proceed to disassemble the bed so that when the lady gets here she can just load the truck. This was no easy task because the headboard, nighstand and bed where all hooked up together. Finally we got everything taken apart and out of the house when the lady calls to say she might not make it... my mother-in-law tells her she better come because everything is outside waiting for them.
When everything was gone and we had an EMPTY room Adrian looks around and says "We should paint the room." At first I wanted to scream because I was exhausted from moving everything but then it sunk in and I thought this would be the best time considering the room was empty. So on Sunday morning we headed to Home Depot to buy everything to paint the room and the renovation started. Luckily we were able to paint the whole room with just two coats of paint and we finished quickly.
During all this renovation ordeal we had to improvise our sleeping arrangements. Felipe was sleeping in Francesca's bed, I was sleeping with Francesca in his bed and Adrian was sleeping on the couch.
Trust me, after this LONG WEEKEND Adrian is extremely happy that we can finally sleep in our own bed tonight.
