What an awesome weekend! We were super duper busy every minute!
Baby Talk
Elijah says "Mama" and "Dada", not consistently, but he says it.
It appears that Elijah's first real words are "Owww!" (as in ouch) and "Stop!"
Not only does he say them CONSTANTLY, he says them correctly (sort of). If I grab something away from him that I don't want him to have or someone else (like his sisters Phoenix and Tyler) try to take his toy he SCREAMS "Owww!" If someone is bugging him (sisters, Phoenix, Tyler) or aggravating him he gets an angry face, yells "Stooop!", and usually hits the person (Phoenix, Tyler). Can you figure out who drives him crazy?
The Gang Was All There
Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and of course Scooby.
They were on a mission to solve the mystery of one of the "scariest" little monsters in town.
That was our Halloween.
Trick or Treating was actually on Halloween for us (as opposed to Saturday like some neighborhoods were doing) and word on the streets was that our "little gang" had the most original theme.
I really think it is just the fact that we have the whole Scooby Doo gang that draws so much attention. We were even remembered from last years costumes, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Most asked question of the night..."Where is the Mystery Machine?"
I am also entering this photo into this week's photo challenge at The Paper Mama.
and this week's photo challenge over at The Trendy Treehouse.
Party 'Til The Break Of Dawn
Okay, I think the last time I was at a party that late, was over ten years ago.
Today is Jason's birthday, but we celebrated at home with the kids on Saturday. Nothing over the top, just a pot of homemade vegetable beef soup, homemade Oreo cookie cupcakes, and a couple gifts.
Jason's laptop bit the dust earlier this year and he has been periodically using Ryan and Mackenzie's computers for work, so we purchased him a new netbook computer with carry case. He was more than excited that he finally had his very own computer again.
The cupcakes were so easy and super tasty and I will definitely be baking them again.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween and will have a wonderful week ahead as well.
