Yeah- as you'll probably notice, I only have photos posted of 2 of my 5 children- OOPS!
AAAHHH! So- here's my list of this week's total blunders as a mom of 5:
10-Don't take a 2 and 3 year old to a
neighborhood spook ally, put on by the teenagers! It took us 3 days to recover!
9- Do not let your kids find the 20 pound bucket of
Halloween candy for the trick-or-
treaters.
8- Do not take a 3 year old little girl or boy to the Halloween Costume store- traumatized is all I can say!
7- Do not dress up so well that your 2 year old doesn't even recognize you.
6- Do not miss the annual
Halloween parade.
5- Do not give 5 kids actual knives and let them go at the pumpkin carving as an unsupervised activity!
4- Do not think getting 5 kids and yourself ready for Halloween will only take 2 hours... try 4~!
3- Do not throw a MAJOR
Halloween adult party.
OK- DO! I can't lie- it was a blast!
2- DO NOT FORGET WHICH DAY TO SEND YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL IN COSTUME....
1- DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE PHOTOS OF ALL 5 KIDS IN THEIR COSTUMES!!!!!
I'd like to think I'm a good mom- most days... :)
That is what MY little girls are made of! Oh! A day of pampering, pedicures, manicures and fur galore- my 3 little beauties and I had so much fun!
Ava- Our little black and white kitty!
2 of our spooky jack-o-laterns. Jack and Ava thought the faces were way TOO scary, and would not even look at them once they were all lit up!
5 little pumpkins!
leaves on the tramp- recipe for FALL FUN!
Paris, Ava, Jack and Preston jump and play in the leaves!
We just got our first tree in our back yard, but it is not big enough to produce this many leaves, so- Preston worked really hard raking and gathering neighbors leaves to haul back into the back yard and dump on the tramp. I think he made like 10 trips filling a bucket with leaves, to get this fantastic pile of leaves for the tramp!
