Dance Party!!

Ok if you think it is just Jason that teases Sierra then you are very wrong…

Also last night you all missed it. (Ok really if you were there it probably would not have happened) We were the COOL house with a glow in the dark dance party!! We popped on the Elmo Hot hot hot cd and danced for 45 minutes. Activities included sword fights, Hot stick (potato), and dancing. Oh Yeah!!

Halloween Pictures

I have pictures!! Here are the pictures from Saturday… Jason loves to be in pictures… Poor Ty, he had a great smile going too… The cleaning of the pumpkin. Jason wouldn’t stick his hand in and Sierra only would with the scooper. I guess I will be gutting pumpkins for a long time (Jason told us that he didn’t want to take out the “nuts”) What a great helper!! We have lots of holes on the side of the pumpkin!  And the finished product… It was all about the pirate this year.

Halloween

I am sad to say that we were away from the house all day long and what is the only thing that I forgot? The camera. Good thing I got pictures at Mickies Halloween party.

Saturday we finally carved pumpkins. Usually everyone is really into doing intricate pumpkins, but this year we all went easy. Jason really wanted to do a pirate, so will and I pre=”I “>appesed him and did the skull and cross-bones. He loved it. In fact he even helped. He poked holes all over the side of the pumpkin. It gives the pumpkin some character!

Then it was off to Art and Mickey’s house for some chilli and soup before trick or treating. It was fun to see everyone. We trick or treated for a few houses and then went over to Art and Stephs to trick or treat a little more.

Sierra and Jason really got into it. they loved it! Sierra got so mad when we didn’t let her go up to the door with the other kids. She was adorable! In the beginning she didn’t really get what was happening, but by the end she was running up to the doors by herself. We ducked out a little earlier, but had a fun full day of Halloween stuff.

I have officially taken the Halloween CD out of the player. I guess I will have to find a Thanksgiving one for Jason to play. Boy does he love to turn on the cd player.

Couch

Will is not the only one that can move around the couches!

Hairbows

I was really needing to get out of the house yesterday, so I called up Bobbie and asked her if she would like to make hair bows with me. She of course said yes so we fumbled our way through a ladybug, dragonfly, and butterfly. I had a great time and even came home and made a few more bows while the kids were napping.

I do have to thank my Aunt Linda. While we were making the clips she watched the kids. Let me tell you it was a crazy house. Thank you again for letting us take over your kitchen!

And a big thank you to Will. He took the scooter to work yesterday. So COLD!!! Burr!!!

 This morning Jason took some pictures… He is getting much better.  

Not a pretty picture. This is what I look like when I just wake up. YIKES! 

And of course he had to take a picture of himself. You can see right up his boogery nose…

Fakers!

After nap time the kids decided to pretend that they were asleep. They are not very good fakers if you ask me. I wish that I got Sierra on the first try, she was a hoot.

Will’s Entry: Time

As we’re counting down the hours until the NBA season starts (literally, I’ve been thinking 11.5 hours, 8 hours, 2 hours, 1.25 hours all day), I’ve been thinking about one of the Wu’s parenting quirks.

Somewhere a long time ago, I read that it’s a good thing to give your kids advance notice when things are going to change.  I don’t mean big things, more like when dinner’s approaching or leaving the playground – that sort of things.  Anyway, Kristin and I are regularly giving 5, 2, & 1 minute warnings.  I think that has helped us as parents.  It always helps Jason and Sierra has been getting into the spirit of it as well.  I’m not certain she understands what it means, but she always responds to our “TWOOOOOO minutes!” with a very enthusiastic “OKAAAAAYYYY!!!”  I don’t know why I blogged about that but I just felt the need to post.

Another note:  the writers of Castle (TV show) thought a good good Halloween costume for its lead character would be to reprise his costume of the show Firefly.  My allergies kicked in, especially in the eye area . . .
