Halloween Aftermath

Chipmunk wailed as I was trying to put his costume on him. "NO, TAKE OFF!!!" He cried so much that there are tear stains all along his lapel.

It wasn't until the weather turned a bit colder and he decided that his long pants/long sleeved costume was finally worth wearing. I was almost afraid he wasn't going to wear his costume at all.



Chipmunk as Iron Chef Morimoto.

Bear was so happy in her Cinderella costume that she was prancing around and twirling at every moment she got.



She came up to me halfway through and was fighting back tears in her eyes. Apparently she took a turn in the jumper and tore her dress. Fortunately I came armed with safety pins (Learned from last year's costume). After I tucked her back in her dress and assured her that I would fix it the right way once we got home, she proclaimed, "I don't want to go in the jumper anymore."

No more jumpers for Bear...at least on Halloween.

Lapsus Linguae

After bringing home the new sewing machine...

Husband: Are you happy you have a sewing machine again?

Me: Yup. It's nice.

Husband: Now you can finish all your crap.

Me: Crap?

Husband: I mean...CRAFTS. Not cra-ap. Cra-afts.

Me: Right. You mean like how you play Star-crap? Oh, I mean Star-cra-aft.

Monster, Monster!

Chipmunk has been a little obsessed with monsters...invisible monsters.

He'll point under a table or bed and yell out, "Aw, month-ter! I cay-ered(Ah, monster. I scared.)" Of course, he says this with a huge grin and laughs like it's the best joke he's ever played.

He'll don a blanket over his head and "Roooaaar!" after his sister declaring, "I a month-ter. I get you."

He will take his bear, knock over his sister's toys and say, "Month-ter, stomp your toys!"

Of course, he also decided to point at our server at a restaurant one day and yell out, "MONSTER, MONSTER!!!!"

Thankfully, she thought it was hilarious and returned to our table frequently to try to get him to do it again.

*Sigh*



What can I say? It takes a monster to know a monster.

What Autumn Brings...

So the leaves don't really change colors where we live...Our Autumn indicators are a little bit different...

First Days of School.





County fair food.



Soccer.



Then came the 100+ degree weather. Lovely.
