Watch out Dumbo, There's a bigger Circus coming to Town...Triplets take on the World

[Pluto0809]

Back from my trip and all caught up on your report! Luckily you were busy so I didn't get too far behind!

I loved all of the pictures from the farm and congratulations on being published. I tried to click on the link you posted but my stupid computer here at work is blocking it. I'll have to try again at home tonight if I remember.

All of the ideas for your trip sound great! It's so hard to narrow down exactly what you want to do at Disney because there are just way too many awesome options there!

 

[Chicago Mo]

just to let you know I am still keeping up with your report just don't have any comments.....

WHAT?!?!? WHY??? how does one NOT have a comment to my insanity?!?!

Yeah, I didn't learn to say 'no' until my kids were older - and out of high school so I am right there with you. BUT, you do need to have some down time - the twitch is probably your body telling you to slow down.

Nope can't say No.. SO HARD!!! they're so GOOD! I mean if they were spoiled brats life would be a lot cheaper... they're not!!! So i try to give them the world..

Your plans so far are awesome. I love the idea of balloons in a box and I'm sure we all can help with clues or whatever you decide to do. Though waking the kids up at 3am would certainly be a major clue.....

I NEED HELP! I am going to need all my Dis-friends!!!

So sorry about the Zoo contest. I certainly think your photos are award winning quality.

It's ok thank you! can't win everything!!!

I do remember that. I'm glad you like the silly hat pictures. The man will try them on anywhere. I can be boring...just ask my kids.

LOVE the silly hats!!! such a great tradition!!! one of the highlights of you reports!!!

your NOT boring..

It's very hard to be boring around here with you goofy girls...but I love each and every one of you.

This. is. true.


Love you too!!!!!!!!!

HOLD ON!​

Finally caught up. Love the pictures from homecoming and all the events. The posters for the players are so cute.

Congratulations on being published. Your photos are beautiful.

As for the planning. I love your idea with the balloons. That would be a cool gift to open. I would just put their fun carry on bags in the car. They will be too excited to even notice them but once in the car they will be settled down a bit (???). Having more stuff to open once they get in the car will just prolong the celebration plus you aren't likely to forget them if they are already packed in the car.

Hope you can slow down a bit and get a bit of a break.

Hope you can slow down a bit and get a bit of a break.

Happy Halloween...It's your favorite holiday!!! You didn't post a picture of the decorations at your house this year. Didn't you do that last year? I thought I remembered yard decorations...

it IS one of my favorite. Nothing beats Christmas.. Halloween is right there!

I don't put the stuff up in the front of the house until today. I don't want the stuff stolen or vandalized... i will post last year's pictures in a minute!

Happy Halloween Mo

thanks Kathy!!! Happy Halloween to you and Mark!!

update in a second!

 

[Chicago Mo]

As Oopsi said Halloween is one of my FAVORITE holidays! unfortunately today is RAIN RAIN and yet MORE RAIN!
WILL NOT stop us!!! We will still be walking the street of Chicago looking for yummy treats!! After treats comes what??? TRICKS!!! YEP! The kids walk enough to get their fill, then, want to come home to start on the tricks!
my house will look something like this tonight:

with a coffin and some other creepy things.
once the day turns to night it will look something like this:


you can see Peanut. Her job is to hand out the candy... Can you see Matt and Zack??? NOOOOOOOOOOO the art of ninjaism (LOL) is strong in my boys.
their job will be to scare the bejesus out of unsuspecting treaters...

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!!​

I laugh so hard i wear depends. As the years are passing the midgets are really getting exceptional at the tricks they pull.... I can't imagine what will be happening once they are teenagers.
Here are a couple of pictures i took with my cell phone of our little pumpkin carving

as you can see Tom has the grueling task of picking out the pumpkin seeds! Lex is not far off eating the pumpkin guts. the ferret at this point is running havoc in my living room.. I hear things crashing..
this is Meg's Zero:

Zack's Jack:

look what a good job he is doing!!! i have a final picture of Matt's but it's on my camera!!! Once the editing is completed i will post for all your enjoyment!
THEY ROCKED the pumpkins this year! First time with the carving knives and i am PROUD to say no blood was shed!
I have a couple of things to do around here then i must update you on the trip stuff..

I am so glad I was right about the decorations...I feared I was getting old and coming up with stories on my own. I had totally forgotten that your kids did the tricks for the trick or treaters! That is going to be great, can't wait to hear about it!

Great job on the pumpkins!! I went the "not a fun mommy" route and did this:



No carving for us this year...

 

[DMGeurts]

Oooh - I love how you do your house!!! HOw awesome! We used to go all out - but now that the girls are older, not so much. It also depends on Josh's mood - if he wants to decorate or not... This year was a "not".

The kids' pumpkins turned out great!

And I cannot wait to hear all about the tricks they pulled!

I hope you had a great halloween!

D~

 

[Pluto0809]

Wow! I loved all of your decorations. Since Jim and I don't have kids, we tend to skip over decorating for the holidays. I do put out some decorations at work though.

 

[oopsiDAISY]

Just stalking your thread to hear about some treats and TRICKS...

 

[Iamthequeen]

I used to decorate more when the kids were at home too. Then we started camping and most of my Halloween decorations ended up going to the campground with us, so we could decorate the camp site. Haven't done that for the last couple of years though, and this year, my youngest dd took some of my decorations (the outdoor lights!) home with her, so she could decorate her apartment. I was going to put them up myself this year....

We didn't have nearly as many trick or treaters this year as we have in the past, and mainly the ones we did have were older. Which I don't mind - their costumes tend to be more creative. We did have a very cute little princess Tiana and her little sister was dressed as a a doctor, and then it came to me that she was Doc McStuffins. Her father was impressed that I knew who Doc McStuffins was....

Waiting to see pictures and hear about the tricks....

Happy Halloween!!!!! I didn't even decorate this year ,just to lazy. It rained all day and they have moved trick-or-treat to Monday......really? We used to go in the snow but because its raining no t-o-t. Raina posted pics of the girls I will share with you so cute....


I didn't have a comment before because I felt everyone else covered everything I wanted to say.....didn't meen to hurt your feelings

 

[babynala]

Your house is over the top awesome. I can't believe you do that all in one day! Hope the kids had fun trick or treating. Speaking of Halloween I think I need to raid my kids trick or treat bags.

 

[KatMark]

Love the house all decorated for Halloween, and the fact that your kids do tricks!

We had a total of 3 kids all of Halloween. It was a total bust in our neighborhood.

I did donate our candy to the village who will use it for Christmas stockings for the underprivileged.

[oopsiDAISY]
