Who likes to stick their head in the toilet?

Maisey does! She has now done this three times. It is time to go buy the toilet locks. I have pretty much seen it all with the boy's but sticking your head in the toilet is a new one. Maisey has an obsession with water. About six months ago I found her sitting in the toilet. I was worried she was going to get stuck! The other day Kevin yelled to me "Heather your going to want to see this!" When I got in the bathroom Maisey was standing there smiling, her head soaking wet. Kevin had found her in there with her head in the toilet. I know she likes to scrub her own hair when she's in the bathtub but the toilet! I am so thankful that the times she has done this the boy's remembered to flush. Gross!

Halloween

I am so far behind on this blogging thing. We had a great Halloween. My neighborhood is greatest for trick or treating. We started early and I was so surprised that Maisey enjoyed it as much as she did. She loved going from house to house getting candy. I thought she would get one piece and be content to sit and eat it for the rest of the night but she was having a blast filling up her bucket. Maisey was a fairy princess this year. She looked so cute and at one persons house they gave her a cute little teddy bear for what they said "being the cutest thing they have seen all night". The boys weren't thrilled being the same thing as last year but I have such a hard time forking over a bunch of money on costumes for one night. I was glad that we were in Disneyland for their school parties so they really only wore their costumes one night. Tarrin was Anakin Sywalker and Wyatt was Darth Vadar. Trey wore Wyatt's Buzz Lightyear costume and it looked so cute on him. After a while I took Trey and Maisey home while Kevin stayed trick or treating with Tarrin and Wyatt. We made pizza's that looked like mummies. The kids came back with so much candy! They filled up those big white Tupperware bowls with all of their goodies. We will have candy for six months! It was so much fun and I enjoyed chatting with all of our great neighbors.

Disneyland

So as I said Kevin called me while I was in Park City with my sister and asked me what I thought about leaving for Disneyland the next day. It's funny because I like to plan everything out but it ended up being so nice to just pick up and leave. I didn't have time to sit and think about all the stuff that I needed to do, We just went and had a great time as a family. Here is just a few of the pictures we took.
The boys loved critter land where they could do the rope swing, play on the tree house and climb on the rock wall. They also liked seeing the Brother Bear characters.

Kevin and Maisey waiting for the parade in California Adventures to start. The kids always love this parade!
Maisey absolutely loved all of the princesses. She would go up and just hug them. When she saw Mulan I thought she was almost going to fall asleep. She didn't really care for the other characters, I think they scared her a little bit. She only liked the princesses.

Maisey actually sat still to get her face painted. She was funny when she got done, She kept telling everyone around us to look at her face. She still talks about it all of the time. There is a picture of the finished product on my photography blog. I have no idea why I stuck her in a Halloween T-shirt instead of something girlie. Oh, well what do you do.
Maisey wanted these Mickey Mouse ears and of course Kevin got them for her. She wore them for a little bit and then decided she didn't want to wear them anymore.

So I asked the kids what their favorite rides were and this is what they said.
Tarrin- Space Mountain
Wyatt- Toy Story Mania
Trey- Buzz Lightyear
Maisey- She loved Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh and The Playhouse Disney show.
I think Kevin and I love Disneyland as much as the kids but there is nothing like seeing your kids faces absolutely light up with joy.

What?

Last Saturday afternoon I get a call, "Let's go to Disneyland". "Okay when do we leave"? "Tomorrow morning". "Sounds good" More details later :)

Punkinaze

Yesterday Kevin and I went on Trey's field trip to the Punkinaze in West Haven. First they played some cute little games and then we walked through the corn maze.

Trey ditched us for a his cute little girlfriend McKell. He wanted to hold hands with her so we were left on our own with Maisey. We got a little lost from the crowed but they came back and made sure we got out okay. After that we played on the huge slide. I thought Maisey would be scared to death because its so big but after the first time down she loved it. Here she is holding on for dear life.


Trey loved, loved the slide. He couldn't get enough and we had to drag him off of it.(Kevin grabbed him and they went diving down the slide together) Maisey loved searching for candy in the corn kernels.
After I took some pictures of the kids. I thought this picture was so funny of Maze because she wasn't tall enough to put her head through but you can see her eye's poking out.



We had so much fun! I have never been to a corn maze and I loved it. The kids had so much fun! Maisey kept saying slide, slide with a huge smile on her face. What a fun day.

Halloween Fun

My sister-in-law Tara had a Halloween party for a bunch of the cousins, neighborhood kids and friends. It was such a blast. Tara is so talented! She made a bunch of yummy treats(Spider cupcakes, Carmel apples, ghost cupcakes, homemade root beer and eyeballs) Maisey loved her spider cupcake. Everything was delicious!
All the kids got to pick out a pumpkin and paint it. I thought Maisey would just paint herself but actually she would take her time and concentrate really hard to paint her pumpkin. Wyatt and Trey loved painting their pumpkins.
It was so much fun and I appreciate Tara doing all of that hard work so that the kids could have such a great time. Your the best!

Tarrin's Birthday

Can you believe I have a nine year old? I can't. Tarrin turned nine on Sunday. On Saturday Kevin took Tarrin and his friends Tyler and Alex to Chucky Cheese. Wyatt and Trey also got to go. They had a lot of fun and Tarrin was excited to have his friends go. On Sunday Kevin's family came to our house for cake and ice cream. My sister in law Tara made him a cool Star Wars cake. He loved it! I made my chili recipe but used different tomatillo salsa and it was so spicy! Sorry. Tarrin has been asking for an art desk so he can make all of his projects, do homework, and draw on so Kevin and I went to Ikea and found a cool desk, chair, lamp, garbage can, and writing utensils for his birthday. He loves to work at his desk. Tarrin is such a good kid. He is such a good student, good brother, and is always helping us. I am so proud of him. Love ya T!
