Candy and Ninjas and Fairies, oh my....

This was the year of tuu tuus and masks!!

It was hard to believe that The Sisters wore different colors.

If someone was looking for Sophie,

They were also looking for Izzy in purple.

If someone was looking for Izzy,

They were also looking, well, you get it...

If someone was looking for Bubb,

They never found him.

I had a hard time, too.

That ninja mask threw me off all night.

A couple of times I lost him.

But then he told me,

"that's what ninjas do, Mom."

{Insert sarcastic tone right there.}

 Technically, if you asked Izzy what was she was dressed as for Trick or Treat,

she'd say, "Velma" from Scobby Doo.

And then I'd say, "we're a little obsessed in the Stelly house about Scooby Doo."

 Naturally, since Izzy is Velma, Sophie HAS to be Daphne. Has.to.be.

We got lotsa loot!

Lotsa Lotsa LOOT!!  

 

Once the kids are asleep,

I'm thinking of throwing some away.

Or eating it.

Not sure yet.

We Lubb da Punkin Patch

Sophie: {gasp!!!} "Mommie, looka da tiny baby ones!"

Sophie: "I'm gonna count 'em.

1, 2, 5, 9, 10, 8.....I lubb deess punkins!!"

Izzy: "I don't WANNA sit on the punkin!"

 

Sophie: "If Izzy don't, I don't."

Momma: "Sit on those pumpkins or you won't get a treat with the other MOPPETS!!"

Izzy: "I'll do you one better: I'll even look like I'm enjoying this!"

Sophie: "Izz, look dees gots bumps on dem!!"

Izzy: "yeah, it's boogers!!"

Mom: sigh....

Izzy: "Sophie, look more boogers!!"

Sophie: "Mommmmm, Izzy said boogers!!"

Izzy: "I'm done. Let's go home!!"

Sophie: "IZZY!!!! wait for MEEEE!!"

Sophie: " 'mon Mom!!"

End of The Summer Snowballs

This is it.

It's not as hot anymore.

We went out for one last snowball.

Then they got to swing off all of that sugar energy!!

What a gorgeous evening.

The days are getting shorter.

Won't be able to hang out in the evenings like this much longer.

Nice hair Bubb!

How hot is my husband, I ask you?!?!?!

This one swings to the beat of her own drum

I think it's time to pass down the "Hot Pants" to Mary.

Gettin' a bit tight there, Sistas!!

This one can't "thwing witowt ma sunglathes...."

Looka What I Drawed

 So, Izzy came to me & says,

"momma, looka what I drawed."

She loves sitting at her doodle pad,

drawing for long periods of time.

I wasn't surprised when

she brought it to me.

I was, however, surprised

when she came to me with this:

I was so impressed I had to take a picture.

She's two & a half years old.

Impressive.

Not to be out-done by his

two & a half year old sister,

Alexander came to me & says,

"Look what I drew."

 Chris pointed out to me that

neither of them are self-portraits.

Alexander always, and I mean always,

draws his birthmark

on the side of his mouth

when he's drawing himself.

Not kidding.

 Then he got to working on his numbers.

Not bad.

Sophie, not to be outdone by either her

five year old brother

or her

two & a half year old sister,

comes to me and says,

"momma, looka what I drawed."

It took us a while.

Looking at all angles,

different ideas came up.

Nothing prepared us

for her answer.

Turds.

Nice.

Friday Movie Night

Alternately Titled:

Let's put the mattress on the Floor and have Movie Night

 Alternately Titled:

Let's let the kids tire themselves out by jumping on the mattress before Movie Night

 Alternately Titled:

Let's pray none of our kids fall & bust their heads open while jumping on the mattress before Movie Night

 Alternately Titled:

The Goofier they get, the Tireder they get by jumping on the mattress before Movie Night

 Alternately Titled:

Delirium Sets in While Jumping on the Mattress on Movie Night
