Halloween!

We have two step stools in two of our bathrooms so Paige can get up to use the toilet. As of recent, Zoey carries these two stools around everywhere in the house to assist in her mischief. She can climb up onto every counter in the bathrooms and kitchen and nothing is safe. I'll turn around for a second and next thing I  hear is running water upstairs. She loves to turn on the water and bathe in the sink. This morning she got a hold of some nail polish and threw it over the banister onto the tile floor on the bottom level. Why is it when you paint your nails, it takes forever for them to dry but when nail polish spills on the floor, the nail polish dries in minutes? It took me over an hour and a whole bottle of nail polish remover to clean the dried nail polish off our tile, wall, closet door and bamboo rug. I also had to repaint a section of the wall. It was an awesome morning. I also got pretty high off the nail polish remover.

This is the nail polish spill. It doesn't look like a big spill but it is so hard to clean dried nail polish.  Lucky for me, there was only one small dot on Paul's Ugg Slippers. 
Here is Paige. Yesterday I told her she could pick 2 candies from her Halloween School Party to keep. This is wear she has been storing her two candies all morning. She still hasn't eaten them;)
Paul had his Halloween Party at school today. We showed up for some of the party and the school parade. I dressed the girls up in their costume and everyone went nuts over the trio.

His classmates were fascinated by Leia's buns. 
Here is Zoey on the ground again. This is becoming a daily occurrence... 

Paul and his class.

The girls really love their big brother. 
My Asian Yoda
One of the Mom's that is in love with her brought her a sucker. 
The parade was awesome. My favorite costume was this Asian 5th grader boy that dressed as Psy and did the Gangnam Style dance during the parade. 
Yoda thinks she is part of the class. The girls in the class love picking her up and carrying her back to me. Zoey was cracking me up today during the parade. 
Here she is on a classmate's back. Seriously. 
Patting her head. 
Yoda from behind. 
Love her

Taking a girl's wig off (did this twice) 
On to the next girl. 
I'm glad everyone at least likes her. She is pretty distracting and disruptive. I'm surprised we haven't been kicked out of classroom functions yet. 
After school we had a play date at our house, then had dinner and got dressed to go out. We went down a few short streets near our house and called it a night. They already have so much candy from the Trunk-or-Treat and class parties. Last year we donated our candy to the troops. I think we are going to try and do that again. I think I will also have to pay them $5 in order for the transaction to happen.

Getting ready to go out. 
Paul really wanted to go back to this house. We visited it last year and it was decorated really scary. Paul loved it again but Paige is just not a fan of scary.  She had to hold my hand the whole night because she was scared of the dark. 
Zoey had one piece of chocolate and her whole hand and face were covered. I should have known but forgot to bring wipes with me:( Instead she used my sweater as her napkin.

More Halloween Fun

Yesterday was such a nice day (in the 70's) that we decided to do one more pumpkin patch after Paul's school with a bunch of friends. It has a cute red caboose train ride, bunnies and goats and tunnels made out of hay stacks. It was nice having the kids run and get all their energy out before dinner.

Oh the bunnies! They were so soft. 
They kids loved them.
Paige being so soft with them
Zoey was soft most of the time. She did grab and pull a few ears.
This girl loves goats. She went around and pet each one over and over again.  She did not want to leave them. I finally had to pick her up and she left the goats kicking and screaming.

Paul was cute and protected Zoey in the tunnels.

And she's spent. 

Today, Paige had her Halloween Party at preschool. All the kids dressed in animals and they had a Noah's Ark Parade in the gym. We borrowed a cow costume from a friend and she was so excited to wear it because the belly was pink. Here she is posing for the camera before school. 

What a cow.

Paige at the parade. Look she spotted Mom and Zoey. 


Today was a busy day for Paige. After school, we changed in the car and went straight to her dance class. Today was the last day so they performed for the parents. They also dressed in their Halloween costumes. She decided she wanted to wear her Belle dress for her dance class. She assured me she will be Princess Leia again tomorrow for Halloween. It was so fun to watch her dance/prance. It was all new to us because normally sit outside while class is going on. She is quite the performer and she just had so much fun out there. It was especially fun to have her three friends from Church in the class with her. I think we will see lots of dance classes in her future. 

Warming up for the big show.
