Happy Halloween!

 

Kensley was so excited to dress up as Princess Leia for Halloween!  I had a hard time finding the costume since apparently girls don't normaly dress up as Star Wars characters!  I ended up getting it online and only spent about $6 since I had a credit!  Can't beat that.  Pyper used Kensley's old Strawberry Shortcake costume and she was equally as excited as Kensley.  They love Strawberry Shortcake!  I had a hard time getting her to keep the hat on so she was a blonde Strawberry for most of the night.  Kensley was so schocked that everyone knew who she was dressed up as!  She thinks she needs to think up a harder costume next year. 

I took the plunge and dressed up for Halloween, too.  I haven't done this in my entire married life.  I wore the clown costume my mom made me and my sisters and roommates a million years ago.

 



Pumpkin Carving

Kensley was so excited to carve this year's pumpkin!  When it came time to scoop out the guts of the pumpkin, you never heard so much complaining!  Kensley and Pyper said it was too gross.  Kensley finally sucked it up and got it done. :o)  While she was working on the pumpkin, she said, "Dad!  This is harder than First Grade work!"

Boo!

I made this  Boo sign a few weeks ago and I couldn't be prouder!  Stephen hung it by the door for me last week.  He also installed the nice chain lock on our door for me.  I have been so paranoid that Pyper will escape without us knowing!
On a not so exciting note, Kensley threw up Saturday night. :o(  I am so frustrated and feel like I am back at square one and don't know what to do about it.  This time it was almost 1:30 in the morning and I didn't hear anything until she was in the bathroom crying.  She was covered in vomit in her hair and all over her pajamas.  So gross!  I made her take a shower and stripped her bed and had to do a load of laundry.  All in the middle of the night.  Not fun!

There Was Bugs!!!

A couple nights ago I was sound asleep, which doesn't happen often, when I was ripped awake by hysterical screaming at approximately 2:47 AM.  I hurried into the girls' room to see what the matter was and this time it was Pyper.  She was in her bed clutching her blankie with eyes full of terror.  The second she saw me she yelled, "There was bugs!".  They have a little night light in their room and I think she thought the stickers that she put on her dresser were bugs.  So, I picked her up and put her in bed with me and Stephen.  She cuddled up to me and went back to sleep.  The rest of my night wasn't as restful with lots of kicks in the back, but Pyper was safe from those dreadful bugs!  On a side note, it has been just over two months since Kensley has thrown up in the middle of the night so we are crossing our fingers that continues to last!
