Trick o' Tweet

Halloween was AWESOME! We went over to our friends' sister's house this year and it was so much fun. They close the street off so that the neighborhood doesn't have to worry about cars and kids, good thinking as I noticed the HOARDS of kids going door to door. Mom and Dad joined us (well dad stayed back to watch football) but Mom was in for some wine, walking and witches! Micah went as Nemo and I went as a lion (half Lion...see pictures below). I wasn't sure if Micah would get the concept but I thought we would just go with it when we got to the first house. Had I known that the first house was going to be the scariest I probably wouldn't have stopped there or I should have at least explained to Micah that spiders that are bigger than him don't exist…stupid decoration! Anyway we stopped at the first house and gave Micah the routine, he held out his bucket and just as we were going to leave the spider (the one bigger than him) mechanically came down at his eye level. I haven’t heard him EVER scream like this and jump into my arms so fast. Poor kid was shaking for a good 5 min. and kept repeating “no spider momma, no spider!” I thought the night would be ruined, but by the 5th house he understood the concept of this “trick o’ tweeting” thing! We were out for over an hour and this guy wanted to hit every house (except the ones with spiders) and he was the life of the party. We had soooo much fun watching him go door to door and run around the neighborhood yelling “TREAT?”

Here are a few pictures from the night!

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

Peace Out to Another School Year

It's so true what they say, time flies, so be carful not to blink too hard. I love seeing these first and last day pics side by side.  The growth always stuns me bit and sends me into meltdown mode. I see them everyday, why do I feel like I am missing them physically grow?! My only indicators are the thinning of dimples in their cheeks and on their little hands. We say peace out to 1st and 3rd grade today, and Maddux says peace out to life in general. I am always excited for the next step, but I trend lightly as it just means another dimple is fading. 1st and Last day of the 2016-2017 School Year
