Embrace the Camera…Halloween

So, every Halloween we go pick pumpkins.  But this Halloween, it never happened.  Sadly, the night before Halloween we went to the grocery food store and picked pumpkins!  But there were no plain pumpkins left..only pumpkins that were painted!  Tuesday insisted that we take pictures as we picked out the pumpkins, since we weren’t going to the pumpkin patch!  Then, we had to go home and scrub the paint faces off of the pumpkins! Then, the pumpkin carving began…along with pretending to vomit up the pumpkin guts and pretending to throw it at each other…..(it was all pretend!)  Then Tuesday took my glasses and pretended to be a ghost while Quinn grabbed the camera and took a million photos!  It was a fun family night!

First Day of School……


Today was the first day of school for my children.  Quinn is entering middle school, 6th grade.  Tuesday is entering her last year of middle school, 8th grade….so they are in the same school together and riding the bus together.  Which is very nice..to have them both at the same school, at least for one year!

Hopefully soon, I can get a post together about the little babies entering the world…I just haven’t had much time!!

Happy Tuesday!!

Embrace the Camera…..

So Tuesday took some photos of us..then Quinn took some photos of us..then River took some photos of us…..I figured there would be at least a couple of good ones…..Not too long from now…and this won’t be “all” my children……about two more weeks……(wow!)

Happy Thursday and go embrace the camera…….

Ramune Soda…..

Finally, I got around to having Tuesday and Quinn try some Ramune soda…..I’ve been wanting them to try it forever….and Christopher found it in Chinatown in Philly.  So, this afternoon……I broke them out.

I had to go on YouTube and look at a couple of videos to see how you open them….it was a lot of fun.  River wanted to try some soda for the first time…..umm..she didn’t like it!

Still Painting…..

Well…we started painting River’s new room/Tuesday’s old room.  The room was bright red, green, yellow and blue…so, first it had to be primed….Tuesday and I spent an entire day doing two coats of primer!! That was tiring.

Then, we started painting.  River wanted a pink wall and a purple wall.  I agreed, but said the other two walls have to be “boyish” colors…..I love how it turned out…all the colors blend really well.  I finally finished painting yesterday.  Now, we just have to rearrange all the furniture and get it all set up!!  These babies better stay  put until everything is done.  Six weeks from now!!  I went to my doctor today and he said everything looks great.  One baby is 4.5 pounds and the other is 4 pounds.  He said if everything goes as planned..they should each be over 7 pounds!! Eeekkkk!!

The painting continues……

After the murals were primed….River’s old room/Tuesday’s new room was ready to be painted.  Tuesday chose two shades of blue.  Things went pretty smoothly.  Two coats of each color and the room was done.  The furniture was moved back in…and one room is pretty much done…..pictures need to be hung, new curtains need to be bought/made, etc. etc….but it is pretty much done!!
