Top 3 Halloween Movies

When I was a kid, I loved this movie.  The cute teen romance, the hilarious witches, the mystery, the all  night Madonna dancing, and the light Halloween fun!

I was raised on this movie!  We have quoted this movie for years in our family!  

Put ze candle back!

Zat vas my fazzah's name!

Walk this way.

Abi-Normal.

It's a classic!

 I used to watch this movie every time I visited my Grandma Tobler.

It is a delightful old movie. Funny and creepy and it's hilarious to watch these two, clueless old women who poison "lonely old men".  I have always loved it! 

We'll fit in Hocus Pocus tomorrow night, but I might just have to borrow Young Frankenstein for a late Halloween date after the kids fall asleep.  It's been too long!

Mom's crazy stalker bird

I told her it sees dead people.

And wants to to warn her of evil spirits.

She has this cardinal.
It flies into her laundry room window over and over and over multiple times a day.
Just the laundry room window.
It sits on that perch and leans over to peck at the window over and over and over multiple times a day.
It's truly psycho!
It was really starting to freak her out.  And animal control basically laughed at her.

So she trimmed the bush, obliterating its perch.
And it's gone away.
weird.

sparkly teeth

We love our kids' dentist! I probably wouldn't hate the dentist so much if I got to watch tv with headphone sunglasses!

Ode to Pie by Miss M

I love my creative girl! 

She asked for paper the other day and told me she was going to write a poem about pie.  We talked  briefly about words that rhyme with pie, and she came back with this!

I want some pie
O that guy
I will not lie
Please tie
I want some pie
Go buy some pie
I am not too shy.

I love this girl!!

Best Day Ever!

Miss M loves this polly pocket video called "Best Day Ever"
She has proclaimed last Friday to be her best day ever!!
She had the day off from school.
It was a gorgeous day so the girls and I headed off to the State Fair!
Now the Arkansas State Fair has NOTHING on the Minnesota State Fair, but for free kid Friday at the Fair, we headed out! We spent two fun hours riding rides with Teriney and the kids and went home, having not spent a dime! Love that!!

Lu was very brave on the rides.  At first, I thought this was a terrible premonition of a rough week at DisneyWorld but she got into it!!

We capped off our fun morning with lunch with friends at Larry & Bob's Pizza, and an afternoon at the park! It was delightful!

six weeks and counting!!!!

We will be leaving for Florida in six weeks!!!

When we get to four weeks, we will start our official countdown with a red and black chain countdown.  The girls love visual things like this!

We have lots of projects underway in preparation!!
Miss M has outgrown so many of our costumes that we will be making some new duds for princess wear for the girls!
We are making matching mickey and minnie mouse t-shirts for the whole crew!  (Grace, we need to figure out how to make yours!!)
We are making jammie pants for all the kiddos in cute mickey and pooh bear flannels.
I've been stockpiling dollar trinkets, pens, stickers, treats with princess and fairy and disney stuff for special prizes on the way and at the park.  I plan to leave treats in our room like fairies visited our room! I love it!!

Here are my debates.

To stroll or not to stroll? Should Lu be able to walk? Of course! But is she going to get ridiculously tired? Of course!! I'm thinking of looking for a larger umbrella stroller where we can store gear and have a resting spot for our babes when they tire out.  Because they will and I don't wanna carry them! :)

To buy a stroller or not to buy?  We have a standard crappy WalMart umbrella stroller.  It's too short for even us average height peeps.  It hurts my back when I push it because I have to lean over.  Our double stroller is just too much for our needs. We just need room for one.  And so we kind of need a new, taller stroller but the recommended online Maclaren is $300. Um, no!  So I'll be looking for a taller, affordable stroller!

To Hogsmeade or only to Magic Kingdom? It breaks my heart to come this close to Harry Potter World and not partake, but it's an expensive day to add on, the girls are still a bit young to fully appreciate it, and W was just not passionate about it like I was.  Which means that if we go, I'm responsible for all of us having $400 worth of fun.  So, alas, I think we'll be saving it for the future.  When the kids can appreciate it more.

We are so stinkin' excited!!!! The next six weeks are going to fly, I think!!

Halloween fun!

Having a little fun on pic monkey tonight.
