Skeleton Pirate of the Caribbean by DAYLIGHT

My day costume.

On my way to pick up my Dad from the tri rail train station. He's flying in from Cayman to go trick-or-treating with me! I've got a surprise for him too!

He gets his own hat that I made!

I'm the Captain of my pirate ship and Dad and Mom are my first mates.

I decided all of this on my own.

Here I am with my stellar pumpkins I painted earlier in the morning......

getting the house all spooked out!

All smiles as I wait for Dad's train.

Mom and I stayed in Florida for the week just incase baby arrived early while Dad went back to Cayman to work a few days. By the time the end of the week came, I was so EXCITED to see him!

Dad, Me, Mom and my little baby pumpkin Bacac

Mom's hat is stunning!







Captain Zeke and his first mate walking back to the pirate ship.

Back at the pirate ship ready to set sail.

I'm organizing my treasure box and making sure I've got all my bones accounted for.

Life’s pretty good, and why wouldn’t it be? I’m a pirate, after all.

Ahoy Matee .... And this is how you....

.....make sure no one comes trick or treating to your door step!

Put a 2 year old in charge! HA! Read On...

To begin, find yourself a pre-made pirate hat. One that when you put it on makes you become a crazy SPOOKtacular pirate!

Get on your biggest and bestest smile.

Then you begin going to town on your first pumpkin.

Heck, stand up, wave those paint brushes around and splatter paint here and there and get as much paint as you can all over everything. Thank goodness your legs have been reduced to bones otherwise more to clean up.

Somewhere in between the first and second pumpkin change your focus and decorate that boring hat just to make sure that you're keeping it real and the tiny attention span is kept focussed.

Now back to work. Begin pumpkin numero deux and be sure to add different colors to this one than you did the other. You might decide to put one brush in each hand....it gets done quicker and twice the mess for Mom to clean up.

When in doubt, absolute CONCENTRATION is key!

Viola! The masterpieces are fini!

I've never laughed so hard in my life!

Hollywood Beach Pumpkin Patch

No Hallowe'en preparation is complete without a screaming good time at the pumpkin patch.

"What me? I'm not getting into mischief."

Hardwired: Must touch and examine everything!

Brothas From Different Mothas

Today we visited long lost friends that live not too far from where we're staying in Hollywood Beach.

Nicholas is Ezekiel's friend from Grand Cayman. He moved away a year ago. The boys hadn't seen one another since. It sure helps when the Moms get along too! Nick's Mom Kelly is a really laid back chick.....she and I are on the same page when it comes to rearing kids.

These two are 10 days apart. Nicholas was born Dec 15th and Zeke Dec 25th.

This is a photo taken 2 Hallowe'ens ago.......Nick & Zeke's first Halloween.

The handsome little pirate and the handsome little devil.

Otherwise known as chocolate and vanilla.

Where's Nick? Where's Zeke?

This little playgroup (although the kids have changed slightly) still gets the kids together. We'll miss it once again this Hallowe'en.

It's all about the hats.

Nick's kid sis Gabriella. She was right in there with the boys and the hats.

Happy BIRFday Momma!

On Saturday October 25th I turned 33.

We had a wonderful dinner at the Sugar Reef Grill right down on the Hollywood Beach boardwalk at my favorite restaurant. I just like the ambience and the aqua mosaic theme that goes on within the restaurant. The fact that they have delicious food with fabulous presentation is only the cherry on top.

We headed home afterward and had chocolate cake. Zeke dug in. As with most 2 year olds, your birthday means it's theirs as well! When it comes to cake, Zeke's the boss. I'm just the Momma that gets to clean up afterward! I was pretty tired after our travels so I had a really nice low-key birthday celebration with my bUoys complete with count the cracks on the belly (instead of pin the tail).

Zeke is getting very concerned about how this baby is going to come out of my belly. He believes my belly will crack, the baby will come out and then he'll give me some of his sick boy medicines to help my belly grow back how it should be. One day we'll tell him the truth.....if he doesn't figure out before then.

Big & Little Red Truck

Zekie loves fire trucks! Especially the sounds they make.

We happened to catch a bunch of firefighter out doing time trials.

Zeke received a one on one demo. He was stokked!!!! So were we!

Jaws of Life up close and personal!








Here's Zekie's new LITTLE red truck.

He's pretty excited about "sippin" it to the island and meeting the cargo man.

Red is the color of the month over in the Bacac ville! That and orange and black for Hallowe'en.

Welcome to MIA

When you're ready to have a baby in 2 weeks, as you're flying over Cuba you're thinking to yourself, "Stay in baby, stay in." After much preparation, what a relief to touch down in Miami....you know your child is NOW going to be born there.

Ezekiel and Jase waiting for the bags to arrive on the belt at the Miami airport.

Between the 5 hole!

We've finally arrived in FL.
After waiting quite awhile for the bags to drop we decided to play around with the carts. To be a kid again....

This face tells you I'm up to something!
