Fall Festival

Elizabeth came home so bummed that we weren't going to the Fall festival. So I threw the boys costumes together quickly, so we could go. I will have to remake their pants tomorrow, but they made it through the night. The kids had fun , Elizabeth found some of her friends, Eric had way too many lollipops, and Ethan at plenty of candy too.

We're sitting on the couch this afternoon. And Ethan says to me, "mommy do you hear me growing?"
"What Ethan? Do I hear you growing?"
"Yah, it's in my belly. It's a snap crack and a ricketypop. It's me growing, I am going to be bigger."
Then he sat back down, and watched his show.

Spooky

Amanda is so awesome. She drove down from Mesa last Tuesday just to bring me something. This ADORABLE spooky banner she made me. Yes she rocks the paper crafting world. But I just love it! Whatever I would have done wouldn't have touched it. It really brightened my day. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I love our Spooky tree that we made. The kids painted the pot, put in the moss, and hung all the ornaments. I love to find crafts that they think are fun, but I love to display. We love to decorate for the holidays around our house. But we couldn't have done this one , if Andrew hadn't found us the perfect branch to begin with!

Sissy took off her fuzzy socks this morning so I could paint her toes. Of course

the fuzzy socks, and nail polish looking. So Ethan put on her socks, and I told him nail polish is just for girls. He replied, "Maybe when I grow up, I can be a girl and THEN I can wear nailpolish!?"

SATURDAY NIGHT FUN!

We had a great time taking the kids bowling Saturday night. But I have to say, where I come from bowling is a cheap night out. It sure isn't here. Seriously almost $8.00 a piece even for Eric. But we had a pass for a free game, so off we went.Elizabeth brought Lexie along, it's always more fun with a friend. I figure the boys always have eachother to play with, she should have someone too. Lexie informed us that she was an expert at the sport. I threatened to kick her butt at the game. Thank goodness for the bumpers, I think we gave her a run for her money. Eric loved "throwing the balls" he carried it all by himself. Andrew would give the ball an extra shove once the boys tossed it, to help it make it down the lane. Ethan was even able to wow us all with a strike! I was there too, but

am choosing not to post the pictures that the girls took at such great angles during the game! Thanks girls.

80's Day

This time it's 80's day. Her outfit was WWAAAYYYY better with the torn blue shirt hanging off the shoulder with it. But Elizabeth said she couldn't wear it unless Kali or Lexi told her it looked ok. Surely they know more about the 80's than her mom. She did tell me that the 80's were the ugliest time ever. I have to agree!

Crazy Hair Day

So I know this hair is a stretch for crazy. But anyone who knows Elizabeth, knows she's not one to do things out of their ordinary. She's never done crazy hair day at school before, but this year whe wanted to give it a shot. Nothing too crazy though. So misc. knotted ribbons on "high" pigtails is living on the edge for her today.
