joe gets ready for school....

He made this cool power pak for his back to hold his candy....

YAY...today is halloween....

I am very excited....I did get a costume this year...a witch with bad teeth....I have some green makeup, but I probably won't put it on....

Luke and Seth have their preschool party this morning...they are very excited..Joe and Elizabeth get to wear their costumes the last 1/2 hour of school for a costume parade...

On Friday, the kids went to a trunk or treat at church and got lots of candy! WOW

The next day, I asked if anyone had any chocolate and each one said that their candy was all gone....WHAT? are you kidding me? Do I actually have to monitor their candy?

They will get A LOT tonight......

all tucked in...

in the last 10 minutes...

Luke decided to take the couch apart....I don't think taking pictures of this is a good idea....Honey, I think you should come home early.....

upside down kid...

after being in trouble

meanwhile....

pug in the sun on a pizza box, with a wool hat from Scotland next to a can of macaroni....

I think they were trying to put the hat on him....he just wiggles things off..he's good at it..

Luke just came to me....

with 3 glasses and wants me to fill one with water, one with milk and one with soda pop....Sounds like some sort of experiment....yeah, right!

I was awakened.....TODAY

by the sound of dripping water....our bedroom is directly under the upstairs bathroom....yikes...I've heard it before.....

I ran upstairs to find the faucet on full blast and the sink plugged....water was dripping over onto the floor....like before, there was quite a layer of water all over....the heater vent was stuffed with toilet paper and wet...

I grabbed all the towels I could find and threw them on top..I didn't take a picture...

honey, I cleaned it up already...

Daddy Joe asked them.....

"How did you get all the water in the hallway?"..

Luke said ...."The Pirate Hat!"

Should I let them watch Pippi Longstocking anymore????

she gives them ideas....they watch with wonderment...

pug just watches trouble....

as it all goes down...


laying on laundry brought in to soak up water...he's helping...applying pressure...

It has been on of those days.....

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.....
The twins have been in destructo mode....water all over the bathroom and hallway, Joe's RC car in bathtub, soda in car(I won't give any details on that one), babies doing the wash, twins filled hallway with dirty laundry to soak up water they spilt...at least it wasn't "clean" laundry....

babies doing the laundry....

babies should never do the laundry.....here one or both of them stuffed it full...I feel like just turning it on and not looking...(except there may be batteries)
I don't want to look...they even added soap....

ACTUALLY....

Angelo should be the Chick Magnet:

my vaseline has been missing for 2 days....my lips get easily chapped at night....Today I found it in the freezer...I noticed that it had a layer of ice and some other things in it........so I asked Seth what was in it...he said a "heart" and "trash"....


The freezer also had Candy Ice....that they made...you can make it too..(take a piece of candy and add water)..

Jake got in trouble....

Easy Pie
Whipped Cream Yogurt Pie (no bake)makes 2
So easy, a baby could make it....

(1) 12 oz whipped cream
(1) 2lb. large yogurt
(2) ready to eat graham cracker pie shells


Fold whipped cream and yogurt together.....

Put in ready to eat graham cracker pie shell (this recipe makes 2 pies).

Refrigerate until set. Overnite works good.....

pear pug

wasn't sure what that was.....but he liked it.......we are off popcorn...

4 year old twin boys bedroom wall....

Should I paint their walls? or leave it? This is just some of it....

waiting for the pears to turn yellow....

somebody didn't... (did I really take a picture of the pears?)

Never leave a kid home alone with a Guinness Book of World Records..It could be dangerous.........

keep kids busy for hours....and hours...

Joe 3 recently asked Dad if he would support him in breaking a world record....
Dad told him "Of course" that he would and asked him which record and Joe said....
Most clothepins clipped on a face:Garry Turner (UK) clipped 159 ordinary wooden clothepins on his face on November 27, 2004.
