This Little Girl...

Does not like to go to bed at night...

After two hours of trying to get her to settle down and go to sleep. I am laying half asleep on my bed, I see her pulling clothes out of my drawers, not really paying attention to what she is doing. Because by now, it is after 11:00 and I am So Tired! I finally look to see what she is up to, and this is what I find....

She has busily managed to pull out almost everyone of my tank tops and sports bras, and put them around her neck. She is buried up to her mouth now.. (Seriously) "not tired yet?"


She then proceeds to take them off one by one, with a little help with the ones that get stuck, of course.


Think she is done? NO, she then starts on my bras

And socks, of course!
 Oh how I miss my sleep! Why oh Why, does she have to be so energetic at night? She has been this way since she was little tiny. When we were living in Az and Jayson was working nights at Home Depot, I would sit up until 10 or 11 with her every night trying to get her to fall asleep. The boys have been in bed for hours, and she gets a second wind and wants to explore and play. UGH! It is getting old. When she does finally fall asleep, does she stay in her bed you ask?  Oh no, she wakes up between 4 and 6 a.m. and then she ends up in our bed, snuggled up, and kicking us in the back.
 I am so tempted to just put her in her room and shut the door. But I am not ready to handle the  hours of screaming that would pursue.  So for now, I guess I get to sit up for hours and watch Cake Boss and 19 kids and counting, and little people. and L.A. Ink... Yes I am a huge TLC fan. lol! And wait for my little baby to get tired. Someday I will get some sleep again.....

Halloween

My Little SnowWhite


The Zombie, and The Mummy

This was Aty before we went Trick or Treating. (Aww two year olds! love the tantrums)

Aty Loved Trick or Treating. I think she enjoyed it more then my boys. Once we finally got her dressed, and settled down. She couldn't wait, to get outside with her bag. She would follow the boys up to the doors and say "Tick Teat" and then "Thank You, Bye" It was raining and cold, I was only going to take her to a couple of houses, but she would not go home. Once we did get home, every time the doorbell would ring, she would run to the door with her bag. Thinking that she was going to get more treats. She finally figured it out after a few times, and then she just had to help give out the treats, and then she would say "Bye and shut the door on them.


Tregan and the pumpkins. Which by the way, I ended up carving by myself. Because the boys lost interest. Real fun!

I took this the day before Halloween, she was loving her dress then.

The neighbors all have a traditional neighborhood kid halloween party. I volunteered to do it at our house this year. So I dressed up as a witch for the event.


We bobbed for apples,had an eyeball relay, played bingo, and ate candy, and cookies, and drank a spooky potion. The kids had lots of fun.








Sunny Crockett and his Fan
After our Kid Halloween Party on Friday afternoon, We had an Adult Party that evening. The theme was 80's. Jayson HAD to be Sunny Crocket from Miami Vice. He was set on a white suit. And I would not let him buy a new one. Because Seriously? He would never wear it again. So we checked the D.I. and Savers and we found him a brown suit, and tried to dye it white, but it didn't work. So we found him some white linen pants. hehe, and he wore the infamous pink polo. And of course had the gun and badge to go along with it. I was surprised to find my acid washed pants at Ross. Who would by these? A little ratting of the hair, lots of hairspray, and a headband to top it off, and here we are. So ugly! lol! I can't believe these styles are coming back. I definitely will not be wearing them. Except for maybe the hair. Isn't it hot? haha!

Pumpkin Walk

Every Year Cache Valley ( North Logan) has a Pumpkin Walk. I grew up going to it every Halloween. People from all over town, put together different scenes made out of pumpkins. If you live in Utah and have never been, you definitely need to go. They usually have a theme each year. This year was the best I have seen in a long time! It was So Cute! I think I took a picture of almost every one! And I couldn't really choose my favorite, because they were all so cute. So beware, there are a lot of pictures...
