Super Scary Halloween!!!!

Happy "Super Scary" Halloween!!!

You're probably wondering how our Halloween started. Well, first there was lots of pumpkin time ...

Searching for the most perfect pumpkins to pick


Emery and Avery scooping out all of the pumpkin guts ...

... Emery way grossed out with pumpkin guts touching her skin!!!


Our finished Halloween jack-o-lanterns!!!

Driving our pumpkins to the jack-o-lantern contest ... 
they won 1st place!!!

Time to now play with our best friends
Chiara, Sora, and Sophie

Everybody loved jumping on the Bubble Jumpers ...

... Emery and Avery catching tons of air ...

... even all the Dads joined in on the fun!!!

Then off on a wagon ride to the train station ...

... goofing around on the train ride ...

... Avery and Chiara are Best Friends Forever (BFFs)!!!

Testing out our first set of Halloween costumes ... 
Emery The Zebra and Avery The Tap-Dancer!!!

Costumes looking good so far and getting tons of candy ...

... even Emery's teacher Ms. McKenzie loved our costumes!!!



Time for our final Halloween costumes ... 
can you guess what Avery is????

Here's a hint ... 

(she was a Wild Thing from one of her favorite books, 
"WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE")


Can you guess what Emery is???
Her final costume was a Witch Fairy Jack-o-lantern


Avery and Chiara trick-or-treating at their school ...
 
... and then we all ventured out to the neighborhoods ...

... Emery caught eating treats 
while riding in the wagon!!!



The day after Halloween Stella "played"

America's Newest Elite Gymnast!!!

Emery's new SiS investigative training techniques now include lots and lots of gym time. Below is a picture sequence montage of the new routine ...

 Emery starting off on the balance beam ...

 ... and with some help from Coach Steve,
leading into multiple frontward flips ...

 ... with a jump right up onto the uneven bars ...

 ... for a frontward facing, double twirl-twist ...

 ... with a skip and a jump onto the rings 
for a backward flips-a-doosy ...

 ... progressing over to the main trampoline for a double axle flip ...

... and then working that high-wire trapeze like an acrobat in a circus ...

 ... into a well deserved rest with alittle goofing around swing-time ...

 ... with a finale of a decuple forward flip followed by a 
standing ovation from all the onlookers!!!

Then it's off for smoothies with Daddy afterwards!!!

The Pre-School Blues ...

Emery working hard to get through all of her Pre-School homework

Pre-School is so SOOO tough! Why didn't anyone tell me!!! Here's a tune to show my frustration (as sung to baby sitting blues)  ...

The Pre-School Blues
It's so hard...
It's so sooo hard...

 Getting out that door, at 7:30 am everyday,
We rushed right out, leaving my comfy home for the whole entire day, right away.
Right into Daddy's big ol' grey caravan.
And it's so hard!
YEAH!
It's so SOOO hard...
Going to Pre-School.
Yeah, I got the ... Pre-School blues ...
Baby, baby ... the Pre-School blues, yeah!
I've got those ugly ... Pre-School blues.

Well alright!
There's nights, many many nights, you swear you were born to lose.
Working tons and tons of homework, you wish you were in someone else shoes.

I remember way back then, lucky fun times all day and night.
Well now I'm outta lucky, and sitting right here until I'm done.
I've got the ... Pre-School blues.
Baby, baby.
Yeah, I got the ... Pre-School blues ...
Baby, baby.
Those darn no-good rooting tooting, Pre-School blues.

There are days and nights ...
You swear you were born to looose...yeah!
Just like tonight,
Where I'm staring right at a screen that has turned BLUE!!!

And you are just outta luck.
Outta luck trying to get all of it done.
I've got the ... Pre-School blues.
Baby, baby.
Yeah, I got the ... Pre-School blues ...
Baby, baby.
Those darn no-good rooting tooting, Pre-School blues!!!

No-School Days!!!

Now that we are both in school day after day after super long day, it's always tons of fun when we get a day off where we can ...

Have a relaxing "no-rush" breakfast ...

... develop arts-n-crafts projects 
outside in the backyard ...



... goof around and play games and sing silly songs 
(like in the video below) ...


... go out for some midday bowling ...

... either solo or ...

... with great friends (that are also out of school)!!!

Have another relaxing meal, like grill cheeses 
for lunch at a restaurant!!!

Go for trail rides on Pluto ...

... where everyone gets their turn!!!

Head out to a new movie with all our friends 
(Daddy included)!!!

FYI, Stella still did what she 
normally always does everyday!!!

And at nighttime, we had a super fun dance party with Mommy (watch the video below)!!!



And then a comfy couch sleep-party to end the day
while watching a great movie on TV!!!

Night-time Twirling ...

 Right before bedtime, right before stories ...

 ... time to cut loose, run around in wild quarries ...

 ... flow around a twirler, super easy to do ...

 ... thrash it all about, you know that you know how to ...

 ... watch out for that tail, it really can grab you ...

 ... guide it well, it shall reward you ...

 ... dazzling the eyes, such a treat ...

 ... around and around and around, so super neat!
