My little T-K boy loves to show off his work. He makes me go and look at his class bulletin boards to see his work. And I’ll admit that he does really nice work. When I was looking at this one, he said, “Mom…see that pumpkin…it’s mine. You can tell because D-A-S-H.” And just to think that I almost foolishly named him Fisher. I would have been so off!
Scout has been paid off for stopping bad habits many times in his life. One such habit is his nail-biting habit. Evidently, I (the payer) have been scammed.
An hour after I put Scout to bed tonight, I heard his breathy singing voice belting out Iz’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. I first grabbed my video camera, and caught a little bit of it. Then I told him that “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” in its original form was my song when I was little. (I didn’t tell him about the part where I had to scream out at the end to make the sensitive song a little less feel good.)
That being said, I invited him out of his bed for a Jam session.
He was hesitant, but stoked to get out of bed at 10:30pm.
So for the next hour or so, we just sang the first part of our song over and over. I tried harmonizing. He tried harmonizing. I tried to match his breathiness. He laughed. But in the end, I think we both nailed it. And we are pretty sure it’s already up on ITunes…and just might go platinum!
Boo Yeah!
After Dash’s annual check up, he got to the car a bit before me. When I got there, he was double fisting Snicker Bars. Right as I was going to talk to him about too much candy, and mommy’s limits, he said, “Mom! I just can’t stop eating my candy…it’s my life!”
Interesting.
These kids finally had their annual check ups.
Vision — check for both.
Measurements — 41 lbs. for Dash, 70 for Scout.
Both above average on height, and a little above average for weight.
Stats - check for both.

Best doctor on earth — check for Carruthy!
When we were at the Brockbanks, Scout and Navy put together a little gift for Bryan. They went out to the amazing concord grape bush (Bry’s favorite), and picked a cup full for him. And then they packaged it extra nicely.
They used a red Solo cup, and wrote:
“To Bryan, [heart] Scout and Navy
Kill Cancer”
They were really happy to get this text the next morning!
And we are all hoping these grapes do the trick!
Pippi has been the self-appointed, demanding bride all morning, and has had all of her servants take a turn at carrying her veil.
That poor groom!
Our Halloween costumes this year evolved from “Quadruplets” to “Runner” — because Scout lost his wig at the Trunk or Treat.
I told the kids that if they got their homework and jobs finished — we would start at the mall.
In no time, they were finished and geared up!
Then it was off to our regular stops — Auntie Gail, and Grandma and Grandpa’s house for some showing off….and personal treat bags!
And then we were off to our Halloween night filled with candy, friends, and messes at Britni’s house — just the way I like them!!
When I was downstairs, and heard a bunch of yelling upstairs, I went to investigate.
I knew that everything was alright, because the yelling — although inaudible — didn’t seem to be from a mad or sad source.
And when I went up, I was right.
Pippi was yelling “Go To Disney Channel” at the top of her lungs — into our magic, voice-activated remote.
And when Pippi wasn’t successful, Dash tried yelling!
Neither were successful, and I explained how Karma works….”When you aren’t supposed to turn on the television, and you try to without permission — it will never work”!
On the upper right (looking at it — upper left) side of Navy’s forehead, I spotted a blackhead! She isn’t even eight! Not only is this girl tough and brave — she is quite often filthy. So after performing my motherly duties, we had a big talk about scrubbing and exfoliating.
