Yesterday was one hell of a day. I got up at 5:45 am as usual and began my morning ritual. I wake up to Elliot in the Morning, the morning DJ on my favorite raido station DC101. I then enter the bathroom and turn on that raido loud enough to hear in the shower, cause heaven forbid I miss a single second of Elliot. That will ususally rouse Budboy who I then send downstairs to get dressed. I take a shower, then put my contacts in, then makeup goes on, then I get dressed and by the time I go downstairs, Budboy is usually just laying there, not dressed, on the couch. I get him dressed, then retreive Baby Budgyrl from her crib, dress her, run around the house making sure I have everything I need, then go. Yesterday was no different except, I had to get them in their costumes. We had a big Halloween party here at work with lunch and trick or treating for the kids.
Luch was supposed to begin at 11. I'm not sure if anyone has ever brought their 3 yo to work with them, but it ain't pretty. I knew I had a ton of crap to do before 11, so I got here an began working. Baby Budgyrl was just sitting on the floor playing and being good, like she always is. Budboy however found a friend and began to run screaming through out the office and could not be calmed down. Oh yeah and it's month end, so that was not received well. We have a back confrence room that has a big screen TV with Direct TV and a DVD player, so the girl who's son budboy had buddied up with said she would put on cartoons so they could sit in there and calm down. She also gave them a bowl of candy to munch on. GREAT IDEA! So now they were twice as hyper as they were prior to the candy. So lunch finally gets underway at 12 and we eat and all is well for a few minutes. Then Budboy decides that he wants to run again. So me and the other two girls that have their kids here take them outside to run for a few minutes. When I told Budboy it was time to go back inside, he had a major melt down. Ya know, the kicking and screaming kind. So I picked him up and brought him inside and out of the camera view and had a little mommy to Budboy talk. Then we came back in the office and he went crazy again. I then removed him again and we went to the bathroom to have another "talk". After that he was much better.
Then it was trick or treat time. It was 1:00 by this time. So we went through the whole office and got tons of candy. We were waiting at that point for El Presidente to send us home as he normally does on days like that. He however did not close the office. So at 2, I left and he said nothing but goodbye and he had a look of releif that Budboy was leaving. Needless to say, I didn't have to use vacation time for those few hours.
We went home and rested for a while and waited for my girlfriend to get there cause she went trick or treating with us. We had a really good time. I got pissed once when Budboy knocked on a door and the porch light was on and we saw the people looking out the window, and they had those long windows on either side of the door that they looked at my precious litte boy through and then they turned off the light. HOW G-D RUDE COULD YOU BE?? He was heart broken and they got a one finger wave from me. I told him that they only had yucky candy and he wouldn't want it anyway. The rest of the night went very well and he was such a good little guy. He kept telling me he loved me and that he was sooooo excited. Lots of people made a big fuss over him. I will post pictures when I get off my lazy can and download them to the compy.
Here are the long awaited pictures of the Budkids on Halloween! Baby Budgyrl was about done having her picture taken at that point, hence "The Look" and Budboy was sugared up ready to go! That pose was his idea.
