My little 50's girls: Cassie and Kenzie

We want to wish you all a Happy Halloween in "style"



Well, I might be a bit bias, but aren't these the cutest 50's kids out there!

I Love Halloween, not the spooky part of it; you will NEVER get me in a haunted house! But everything else: costumes, candy, more candy, the carving of pumpkins, and candy.

I really don't understand the part of ringing a strangers doors to get a treat, but it is sure fun watching the enjoyment in the kids faces. Knowing all they have to say are those 3 magic words of "trick or treat" and then they know they get the goods.

I remember as a kid wanting to get a bag full and weighing it to see whose bag weighs more and then having candy hidden in all places of my room, knowing that I was good till Easter.

Well, on Halloween night; have a safe and fun night and remember the spooks and goblins will be out. Enjoy!

Is that a gourd in your pants...?

So we all know the saying, "is that a ________ (fill in the blank) in your pants?"

Well, yesterday that was true for Carson, my son.

He found some of my fall gourds that I decorated the house with and put it down in the area of his "Boy" parts and was chasing his sister Cassie around the house!

Cassie was screaming and yelling; "Gross! Gross!" she was saying

and Carson of course thought that he was pretty funny.

(Sorry no pictures,

but I am sure you can only imagine almost 2 year old twins running around the house while I am standing there watching this.)

I didn't know if I should laugh, cry, or stop the two.

My question for you is where does a little boy learn such a thing?

I have 3 girls and no brothers, so this kind of behavior is new to me.

It is not like my husband runs around teaching Carson, he does teach him "BOY" attributes, but nothing like this. But when I told Dan, He couldn't have been more proud.

Please comment and let me know what other things I should be wardened of with little boys.

Not yet ready for reality!!!

Almost in tears from what just happened...my 5 year old is giving me a dose of real life.

You may ask, "why such a sad face?" Well, it goes like this...

Today believe it or not was a good morning-no "surprises" from any of the kids.

We were all getting ready for Delanie's field trip at pre-school, we are going to the pumpkin patch so I THOUGHT.

The kids are all ready, cute and clean, I get ready for the day, even put on some make-up. This was going to be a fun day, so with the kids loaded in the car, off to pre-school we went.

Now, I think that I am a pretty cool mom, I dress cute, listen to hip music, heck, I am only 26, but what sweet Delanie said next took me by surprise-oh there's that word again!

So we get to school and she said that I can't go with her and instead of leaving it at that, she says that it would be too much trouble for HER if I go. I ask her why and again if I can go, this goes on for about 5 minutes and then she says, "Mom, let's not make a scene."

WHAT? A 5 year old is telling me that!

So, I finally figure out and get the picture that she doesn't want me there, so I turn to her and say, "Pick out a good pumpkin dear." Her reply is "I think I can handle that, MOM"

I start to drive away and yell out the window, "good-bye honey" and just a quick look back is all she gives me and off she goes playing with her friends.

Now I know there comes a time when parents aren't cool anymore, but please, she is 5, I thought that happens like at 13, I still have like 8 more years to be cool. I guess that I am just not ready yet for reality.

Thanks for listening to my heart ache story today. It really got to me. I took it hard.

With a face like that, do you see why I took it so personal.
I want her to stay little forever.

The Great Pumpkin was here...

The thought of touching the inners of a pumpkin scares Feef

Carson enjoys craving the pumpkin-finally.

Dan is really getting into it.

Nothing beats the cold slimy insides of a pumpkin.

One of the finished pumpkins.

Every year we go to the pumpkin patch and find our perfect pumpkin and then everyday till we crave them, we get to here the girls ask "today?" So tonight we lied out the newspapers and craved the pumpkins. When Dan first opened the pumpkin, Carson and Cassidee wanted nothing to do with it. "Gross" they would say. On the other hand, the older girls had fun.

It is always fun to see a normal pumpkin come to "life" and see the personality it brings. Now that the pumpkins are craved, Halloween is right around the corner. Have a spooky holiday.

Keep an eye open for the trick-or-treating pictures.

Breakfast for Champions!!

Why do I blog you may ask??

Well, the answer is easy; Everyone is always telling me just how cute and innocent the twins are and how they can't do anything wrong, will this blog is to show proof of the truthfulness of the twins.

This is how my morning went today:

When I was done making my bed, I went to walk down the stairs and could see in our giant mirror what the babies were doing. - They had gotten into the Halloween candy and were helping themselves to a health breakfast!

Not only did they eat more then one, they would open the candy, have one bite and then go to the next one. They were in Heaven!

You might be thinking "Oh that is not bad," and you are right, but that was the 3rd day in a row I have had been "surprised" by the twins.

Monday it was walking down the stairs to find them in the kitchen playing and eating powdered jello mix. They went into the pantry and had fun opening different packets and playing in a rainbow of color.

You may say, "get those safe nobs for your doors," OH WE DO! and it was just a matter of days before they figured those out.

Tuesday it was in my bathroom this time: They watch me get ready in the mornings, but little did I know that they would figure out my MAC make-up and brushes. With the bath water running, they put the make-up and brushes to the water to make a paste-like substance, and painted on my walls, tub, woodwork, and carpet. *Sorry no pictures for that, I was too in shock to even think about the camera. As my friend put it, nothing like giving them $15.00 a piece crayons!

Oh well, I do love those too kidos, but WOW! I dare not ask "what's next?" because I am scared and the sad thing is they are not even 2 yet!! They are always into something and with two of them, they just feed off of each other.

So back to the question of why I blog, I think this is my way of getting on my soapbox and sharing these times with you and if only one person gets a laugh and can relate with me then that makes me feel better knowing that I am not alone.

With the kids all in bed, a new day will be here soon, I can only hope for a morning of no more surprises. Here's to hoping - right?

I'll keep you all posted out there on my 'surprises."

We are such Wannabes!!!

'Good Morning Baltimore" or at least to all of my follow bloggers:

I Love the movie hairspray!!! and so for a Halloween party we went to last week, Dan and I went as Tracy and Edna Turnblad.

As you can see, I am loving it, Dan on the other hand is not, but he is such a trooper, that he went with it.

Note: My hair is not a wig and when I walked in the door, my older girls thought I was so cool and thought I looked liked Tracy.

For those who haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it. It is cute, fun, clean, and Zach Efron is that bad either. :) The Music is so addicting, we have it playing in the car all the time.

Hope these pictures bring a laugh and smile to your face.

This years costume I think beats last year: leave your comments, I would love to hear what you think, Last years costume of Dog the Bounty Hunter and His wife Beth or the Mother-Daughter team of the Turnblads.
