Happy Birthday, Angelice!

We had a blast at Chuck E.Cheese's again. Angelice is now 7 yrs old. Her best friend, Tiana, was there as usual just like cousin Mickey & Eggie's sister with her 3kids. I had a total of 10 kids which is exactly what my budget was. A great time was had by all!
The "holidays" have now officially begun for my family. Next week, we put up our Xmas tree as well as our Xmas lights outside. Hard to believe 1 year has gone by!

All "A" Honor Roll ...

Guess what!
Angelice made the Honor Roll. Because of her achievements, she was awarded a free game ticket to see the Orlando Magic vs. the San Antonio Spurs for next month! Plus, she got a free smoothie @ a famous restaurant here in Kissimmee, plus a free entry to go ice-skating among other little things. Way to go, Angelice!
She has made us very proud and that's why she deserves to have her birthday party where ever she chooses. And, she chose Chuck E. Cheese. (Rather than the roller dome which is where we had it last year.)
Her birthday's this Saturday. I still have to buy the goodie bags & some chocolates. I have her bday gift, but for me, it's not enough. I need to get her something extra since she's so wonderful, dont'cha think?
Well, I guess I'll be posting pics later this week then!

I early voted!

So, today was the last day for "early voting".
I got up at 6am & went to vote at 7am at the library & then on to work overtime.
I proudly wore my "I voted!" sticker.
I was pissed that Obama & Bill Clinton were only 5 mins away frm my house on Wednesday night for their rally! They gave a speech at 11pm at the Osceola Heritage Center which is where I always take my daughter for special concerts & outings. I couldn't believe how packed it got. I passed by at 8pm that night on my way home from my daughter's 1st Communion Religious Education class & boy was the parking starting to get full! Not only that, traffic was slow.
Trust me, I would've gone if my husband was off that day!
Anyway, hopefully this year things will go right on Voting Day November 4th.
Cause it seems like Florida's alwayz in the newz for something or other. If it's not a hurricane, it's the Caylee case or so on & so on. You know what I mean? Something interesting always happens down in Florida!
Well, what was interesting for us was Halloween! We went to the mall as we usually do cuz every year from 6pm - 8pm it's trick or treating time! They were giving out free food samples at the Food Court! Plus, we walk around the whole, entire mall & go to every store for candy. This is a popular thing down in Florida on every Halloween. There were lots & lots of cute costumes there! Let me tell u about 1 that I particularly liked & may get for my son for next Halloween!
It's not really a big deal but I had never seen 1 like it! A batman costume where you press a button & his wings pop out! BIG PLASTIC WINGS! The parents told me they got it at Walmart. (I still have it on my mind)...
So by the time all the stores have been visited, it has been 2 hrs & all the stores are outta candy. We then head to my sister-in-law's neighborhood in Orlando which I like to call "ghetto" cause every Halloween it reminds me a bit of my old neighborhood in Chicago. And it's funny cause, this is a nice neighborhood. Throughout the year, and we visit her quite often, you hardly see many people out. But once Halloween comes around, BAM! Where did all these kids come from? It's like they come out of their caves only once a year. Here are some pics of my kids out in front of my house & at the mall.
Hope your Halloween was happy & safe!
