Ready for...HALLOWEEN?!

I don't think I have ever been SO excited for Halloween so early! We went to a fabulous second-hand store and found some awesome buys on Halloween costumes for the kiddos! This year, Jadan will be playing Mickey Mouse! After

telling us he wanted each and eery costume we showed him, Cooper eventually decided on the glow-in-the-dark skeleton! and Shae will be none other than Rainbow Brite!! You bet we had to try these on the second we got home! The kids played in their costumes all afternoon...hopefully they make it til Halloween!

So you know you are an "80's CHILD!" when you talk your daughter into getting a Rainbow Brite costume! Seriously, I wish this costume would fit ME...Rainbow Brite? C'mon, I am reliving my childhood...I love this!!

Danny and I showed Shae who Rainbow Brite is on the internet and were having a blast remembering all the characters! Danny says I should make Teegan a "Twink" costume. That would be AWESOME! Too bad I can't sew! Teegan will thank me years from now!!

Quoteable Kids!!

1-9-10: While enjoying Cooper's Birthday Brunch at IHOP yesterday, Danny and I got a good chuckle when Cooper said he wanted to try the "butter King Kong" syrup...more commonly known as butter pecan!!

2009: The very first thing Shae asks when she wakes up in the morning is- "Can I watch Foo-vie and hab snacks?" Her favorite movie treats (though to her dismay she does NOT get first thing in the AM!) are "pah-corn" and "lick-or-lish"

10-25-09: I got the kids some new vitamins that were on sale; Cooper refuses to eat them, saying "they taste like hippos!!"

10-20-09: At the corn maze, when it was Cooper's turn to be the leader, he came to a fork in the path and decisively announced, "let's split up, gang!!" We were cracking up!

10-20-09: As we were looking at a picture of the ariel view of the corn maze, Danny explained that it was shaped like a dinosaur! Shae in particular became a little scared, thinking there was a dinosaur IN the maze, so Danny reassured her, explaining that dinosaurs are extinct. Cooper then inquired "Daddy, why do they stink?" HA!!!

9-24-09: After passing by a girl blowing a cloud of cigarette smoke out of her mouth, Shae exclaimed "THAT girl has a REALLY HOT MOUTH!"

June 2009, every Sunday!

Mom or Dad: "Shae, what did you learn in nursery today?"

Shae: "I have snacks in ursey!"

7-3-09: in the van en route to OHIO for Bryan's wedding, we must have passed by a skunk, and Cooper says "EEeewww!! It smells like there's a giraffe in our van!!"

Can't remember when this one started: "No I am'nt!!" (translation= am-int: Jadanese conjunction for "am not") Cooper and Shae have followed in his great example as well!!

June 09

Shae calls sunscreen "SCUM SCREAM"

Summer 08

Cooper calls the theater "Few-dah"

Aug 09

Shae keeps running in the bathroom while Cooper is going potty, so I tell her, stay out so Cooper can have some privacy...she says "Cooper have pirate teeth?" HA!!

since Shae has been able to talk, she says "lock-ah-lahsh" for washcloth!

August 16, 2009: After bathing the kids, I hear Danny telling Cooper, "Leave your private parts alone!" Then, Shae pipes in: "Pirate Parts says AAaarrgghhh!!" LOVE IT!!

August 09: The kids think it is okay to burp as long as they say "excuse me." However, burping has been out of control lately, so I told them it is better manners if they keep their mouth closed when they burp. Shae's new favorite thing to tell me is, "Mommy, I burp with my mouth closed!" Lovely.

July 09: Shae calls me in while she is on the potty: "Eeewww. I have ri-a-dea. (diahrrea)" Nice.
