CRUISE Aboard the MSC Divina

I can't believe that my hubby and I just came back last week from a three day cruise!  What was so fantastic about it?  It was just the TWO of us!  No children!  Don't get me wrong...
I love being with my kids and especially going on vacations with them!  However, my hubby and I have not been alone together on a vacation in over 3 years!  So you can imagine how nice it was to get away- just the two of us!  The ship was very beautiful!  The only down side was that there was terrible weather!  Each of the two ports we went to ( Cape Canaveral and Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas) we were not allowed off the ship due to the poor weather conditions.  So we spent our time on the ship getting a massage, working out, reading, and napping!  The shows each night were really wonderful!  There were dancers, singers, impressionists, and even a Michael Jackson show!   Overall, we had a wonderful, relaxing, and fun trip!  I hope it won't be another three years till we do something like this again!  Thanks MOM for taking care of the kids while we were away!  You are the BEST!

 On the third day look what we saw outside from our balcony:  A Rainbow!  How cool!


 
 
Notice anything different now?  TWO rainbows!  So cool!


                                              Just as the sun was setting on our last night!

Halloween

This year Emma had a really good time trick or treating with her brothers and friends!  She started getting the "hang" of saying trick or treat and thank you but wanted mommy to hold her bag!  We had a lot of fun walking around my best friends neighborhood and seeing all the different costumes and kids!  Everyone had a great night!
Emma and Adam had a fun time carving and gutting the pumpkins!  They loved sticking their hands inside and pulling out the seeds!











 
This is what each kids pumpkin looked like!  Starting on the left was Noah's, the middle was Emma's, and the one on the right was Adam's.  Great job!

Happy Halloween!
