It is no secret that my favourite time of year is Halloween. I have waited many years to have kids to share it with and this year my wish finally came true. We had a lot of fun!
The day before Halloween we headed to The Big BOO! a pumpkin patch my mom suggested. It was a great time. My mom and sister came with us. They had great decorations and even a haunted house to walk through. I can’t wait to go back next year when they babies are bigger.
On Halloween, me and the babies stayed home during the day watching scary movies and at night we all headed over to my mom’s for chilli dinner. The babies got dressed up as monkeys. My little monkeys! I bought their costumes at Carter’s and then added the bows to Libby’s to make it a girl monkey. Hubs and I took the little ones for a walk through the neighborhood to look at all the trick or treaters. I can’t wait until next year to actually take them trick or treating!
We all had a great time and Alex and Libby loved their first Halloween!
I hope everyone had/is having a great Halloween! Mine was pretty chilled out but good. We went to see Paranormal Activity today. It was pretty scary, but not as bad as I expected. I will know the full effect of the movie tonight when I go to bed. I hope I can sleep. Now, I am having a scary movie marathon. Just finished my Halloween favourite Hocus Pocus, and am now watching The Exorcist. I might watch Poltergeist next and then finish off with Trick R Treat. I got about 15 trick or treaters, not many as I live on a dead end street and there aren’t many kids in my neighbourhood. I hope that by next halloween, we have a child to celebrate with!
I am entering my next TTC cycle. THIS WILL BE THE ONE! THIS IS OUR MONTH! Here are the items in my arsenel for this cycle:

We will be following the Sperm Meets Egg Plan again. Hopefully this will be it! I am feeling really positive about it. I hope it lasts.
I LOVE the Fall! It is by far my favourite season of the year. The weather is perfect. The air is fresh and crisp. The leaves are changing to bright vibrant colours, and as they fall from the trees, they decorate the landscape with different shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. Sweaters are my favourite, and every summer I long for the day the the thermometer drops low enough to put on a cozy sweater. Fall is just absolute perfection! I am so excited for Thanksgiving and Halloween, and before you know it, Christmas will be right around the corner. What a fabulous time of the year.
This weekend is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, and this year, I am making Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I am so excited to have lots of yummies. This is what I have planned for the menu, all home made of course:
Thanksgiving Dinner Menu:
Turkey
Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet Peas
Corn
Salad
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Pineapple Delight
I have decided not to have a Halloween party this year. All year, I looked forward to it, but as the time grows nearer, I am finding myself not looking forward to it so much. I am just not in the mood this year. TTC is taking a lot out of me emotionally, and with each month that passes, there is more stress, fear and worry. So this year, I think I am just going to make a special dinner for my husband and I and watch some scary movies.
I just recently found out that a friend of mine got pregnant by accident, and has been hiding it for 3 months. What a blow. I am happy for her, as they were about to start TTC anyway, but a part of me is so jealous and angry. Why is this not happening for me? I know it hasn’t been that long, but the 6 month mark is approaching. All I want is a baby in my arms. I don’t care if it’s a girl or boy, or what month it is born. I just want to get pregnant and have my baby! Is that too much to ask? Everywhere I go, I am bombarded with pregnant woman. The world has gotten pregnant, and it seems like I am the only one who is not. This is so hard! Sorry for the constant whining and self pitty rants, but I cannot help it. It consumes me. Anyway, we are taking a break this cycle. My best friend is getting married, and I want to be able to have an awesome time at her wedding. If I were to try, by the time the wedding came, it would still be too early to test, so I am not going to risk it. Here’s to a stress free cycle, and a great time at the wedding! Can’t wait!
I am so excited! I pre-ordered this!!! I have been waiting for this movie since 2007. All the reviews say that this will be THE Halloween movie, that it’s one of the best, but for some strange reason, it was never released in theatres. It was delayed for two years, and now finally will be released on DVD and BluRay on October 6th. Here is the summary as written by Warner Bros.:
It is said that Halloween is the night when the dead rise to walk among us and other unspeakable things roam free. The rituals of All Hallows Eve were devised to protect us from their evil mischief, and one small town is about to be taught a terrifying lesson that some traditions are best not forgotten. Nothing is what it seems when a suburban couple learns the dangers of blowing out a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight; four women cross paths with a costumed stalker at a local festival; a group of pranksters goes too far and discovers the horrifying truth buried in a local legend; and a cantankerous old hermit is visited by a strange trick-or-treater with a few bones to pick. Costumes and candy, ghouls and goblins, monsters and mayhem… the tricks and treats of Halloween turn deadly as strange creatures of every variety-human and otherwise-try to survive the scariest night of the year.
I am sooo excited to see this movie! I am always looking for movies with anything to do with Halloween in them, and this one is ALL about Halloween! Here’s a peek. Enjoy!
85 days until we go to Mexico for Vlad’s brother’s wedding.
205 days until Halloween
I am getting so excited to finally be married. I have been waiting soooo long to get married. I just cannot believe that in 5o days, Vlad and I will be trying to conceive our first child. I am beyond thrilled that the time has finally come, well almost. 50 days should pass by in a breeze.
This past year has been gearing up for pregnancy. I been losing weight, and getting healthy. I have been taking prenatal vitamins to make sure that I have enough in me when I conceive. I quit smoking almost two years ago. I don’t even know what I will do with myself after I get pregnant. I feel like I have spent that last 6 years with every thought engrossed in having a baby. I think I may be bored. I have so many fears about this. I am so scared we will have problems conceiving. I am scared that because we waited so long, and I am 29, that we will have problems. I guess I won’t know until we start trying.
I am a almost 31 year old, twin loving, photography loving, obsessed with knitting, scrapbooking, craft crafting, Halloween loving ordinary girl. I am married to my best friend and soul-mate and I am a mommy to boy/girl twins. I couldn't be happier! I am thankful for my life. I love living! I have been blessed!
