Just before we tricked-or-treated

We tried catch a snap of our costumed gang. Andrew aka Wolverine, Seany the Dragon, and Ryan the Tiger in the back. Alex the GI Joe guy Snake Eyes up front.

A post for Lisa M

Baby G was quite impressive (8-ish feet tall) until Daddy came out.

Football Fun

Alex blocking.

Andrew ordering the twix around.

The twix ignoring Andrew's orders and doing their own thing.

Pumpkin Carving

Ryan and his dinosaur pumpkin.

Andrew's masterpiece (all by himself!).

Mark and Ryan with their monster (see the bolts and stitches? It's Frankenpumpkin!).

Seany and Mommy and our ghost!

Alex and his scary monster (again all by himself!).

Zoo day!

Seany was all about the Yee-haws last night. Alex and Andrew went to a party. So I took the twix to Wally World to pick up some last minute stuff for the big night approaching.

As we walked by the boys section. They'd marked t-shirt costumes down to $2. Seany LOVED the cowboy and chanted and giggled with his hand over his mouth about his cowboy costume non-stop. "Yee-haw!" hahhahaha. "My cowboy costume real cool, Mom." "Howdy." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ryan quietly picked the pirate version and put it in the cart.

As they were buckling into their seats, Ryan exasperated said, "SEANY. IT'S. NOT. A. COSTUME. It's a t-shirt. Its a shirt, Sean."

School Pictures Retake or Keep?

My vote is for both to retake. I can take better snaps than these!

Cast your ballots!

Economics Fair boasts results

Alex came home from the economics fair with 3 guns: marshmallow, rubber band, and a sling shot (which might as well be a gun).

This morning, "Mom. You know what I learned at the economics fair?"

Mom asked, "What did you learn at the economics fair?"

"This is a true fact. Violence sells, Mom. Violence sells. Its a true fact. Did you see what I bought and that was just the stuff that was left. I had to mark my drums down to 25 cents. And the foam swords went for $2.50! $2.50 and one was broken! Mom, when Andrew is in 4th grade he needs to make a gun or a sword."

America, land of the ?

Ryan expands

Ryan having used his fingers to count 3 people, expanded his repertoire. Yesterday, he used his fingers not to count but to show his family. When he filled up one hand, he felt a moment's panic. How would he show the remaining member of his family. He then realized he had another whole hand! And keeping all 5 fingers outstretched pointed to the lone remaining member of his family.
