This quick study has learned that she isn’t supposed to pull her bow down.
So when she does…
She replaces it quickly.
Too bad her placement is off, and I know of her devious ways every time!
Bow
Trash Canned
When Pippi spotted some candy wrappers from the kids in the trash, she was determined to get to them.
So determined… that she got herself in quite the predicament.
Poor girl as I snapped away before rescuing her.
Lucky Non
Nonnie lucked out this morning as Pippi was in a VERY RARE cuddling mood.
I was highly jealous.
THREE!
You will never guess which big three-year-old is hiding behind this witch.
(Although he insists to everyone that he is turning seven.)
Only the cutest boy on earth, who might be sporting a bit of green eye shadow.
It was an exciting day filled with presents.
Cards (like this one from Tacky).
And festivities.
(Here are all of the kids outside with the “gas ball bombs”.)
-
With the Tackys in tow, Nonnie’s chili on the stove, and B there, he had a pretty great day.
Dash, there is nobody sweeter and more charming than you.
But those new-found temper tantrums you have been showing off lately are for the birds!
Happy Birthday you big fat seven year old!

Party side note: Pippi is a major dog lover, and really loved when Ginger pet her back during the party.
—
Second party side note: Navy found her makeup, and went to town.
But for fear of the furniture, we made her wash it off.
But she came back sporting her second look while we read Dash’s new book.
Pops Reads
This guy got conned into reading about five books to the Pips.
As soon as he was finished with one, she yelled at him to start in on another.
‘14 Trunk or Treat
The Little Emporer and her Sumo Wrestlers were off to a great night of chili and Trunk or Treating.
They gave each other a group hug, and were off.
When we got there, we were dying over how Navy folded her arms for the blessing on the food.
Once they ate, and showed off their costumes, they were off for about ten rounds of candy gathering.
-
The Aftermath
Dash immediately dug in.
Navy got out her loot and started sorting out every piece into its correct pile.
Crazy-haired Scout, opened his bag that was the fullest, and said, “I got SO much candy….who wants it?” And didn’t eat even one piece.
And the destroyer, she just went around and bossed everyone around in her yells, and got a good little stash she called her own.
Pretzels and Push Ups
When I asked Dash if he had brought food out of the kitchen, he immediately shoved it all into his mouth and mumbled, “it is all in my mouth”.
After I explained that I found crumbs on the stairs, he accepted his fate.
Ten good-form push ups.
Extra, Extra!
Just wanted the world to know that our costumes for the 2014 Halloween season have arrived.
And the kids could not be more excited!
Delivered & Hot
In case I ever have to make a list of nice things I do for my husband, I just want to write down that occasionally I deliver homemade, hot food to him for lunch. This day it was a Green Carnitas omelet. It may sound sketchy, but in reality….it is delish.
Two Things
For the record….
two things this boy has been doing lately.
#1. Every time I have the camera out for a picture, he cocks his head to one side, smiles, and through gritted teeth says “cheeese”.
#2. You have to love the kid translation on every day words. This boy’s latest was when he was referring to his belly button as his “Belly Bumpkin”. So in our household at the moment, we all have belly bumpkins in the middle of our tummies.
