Trick or Treat!

It's Halloween and we just can't wait to go Trick or Treating!  Daddy says that we walk from house to house and knock on the door and people will give us candy.  Now we find this pretty hard to believe and are wondering if he's playing a trick of his own on us but we'll go along with it for now.

Sadie, Scareltt, Serena:  "We're all ready!  Let's go!  Let's go!"

Sadie, Scareltt, Serena: "We're going to get a pile of candy THIS big!"

DING-DONG!  Knock Knock Knock!

Scarlett: "I've got my bag all ready...."
Serena:  "I see the bowl of candy just sitting there taunting us...."
Sadie:  "I don't see anyone in there...."

Scarlett:  "This is boring already...."
Serena:  "Can we just quietly open the door and take some candy?  They'll never know...."
Sadie:  "Hang on, someone's coming!"

Serena:  "Hey, this is the same cheap stuff we've got at our house.  What a rip!"
Scarlett:  "I think this stuff is loaded with carbs."
Sadie:  "I don't know which one I want...."

On to the next house.......

Serena:  "The door is closed.  What do we do?"
Sadie:  "I can't really see through these windows...."

Serena:  "Hey, the doorbell!  Let's try pushing it!"
Sadie:  "I don't know, what if it opens some kind of front porch trapdoor?"
Scarlett:  "Just push it and see what happens...."

Scarlett:  "PAYDIRT!  Fill 'er up!"
Serena:  "Look at that big spider....is it real?"
Sadie:  "No, it's fake....I already checked."

DING DONG!

Sadie:  "Holy smokes, look at the size of that water buffalo!"
Serena:  "That's not a water buffalo, it's a polar bear!"
Scarlett:  "No, it's one of those fire truck dogs!"

Sadie:  "Um....doggy, do you have any candy?"

Sadie:  "Well that was rude, he just walked off!  Was it something I said?  And he didn't give us even one piece of candy!"
Serena:  "Big ol' thing is probably going to hibernate....it is getting cooler you know."
Scarlett:  "It's probably better....his eyes looked all red and scary anyway.  He probably ate all of the candy they had and didn't feel good."

And so we continued up the street and got our whole bags filled with treats.  On the way back we were so tired we made Mommy and Daddy carry us....we fell asleep and didn't even eat ANY candy!!!  Next year it'll be different.  We'll eat all we can and will still be bouncing off the walls at 3am.....won't that be fun, Mommy?

Fashion Diva

One of the first requirements for being a Hollywood movie star is fashion sense.  You have to know how to put it all together.  So does the outfit make the person or does the person make the outfit?

 Scarlett: "First you have to have the right clothes and bling to accent it.  Sunglasses even indoors portrays a lack of interest in one's surroundings and a confident, mysterious aire."

Scarlett: "When you finallly decide to acknowledge an onlooker, you have to have the right kind of wave.  Not too exhuberant...but not to wishy washy either."

Scarlett:  "And a nice pearly white smile so the flash gleems off of them is mandatory.  "

Scarlett:  "Even posing for pictures in front of the house with our pumpkins requires the right accessories."
Sadie:  "Hey, I'm the biggest, how come my pumpkin is smaller than both of yours?"
Serena:  "Back off, lady!  I turn into a foaming, rabid dog if someone tries to reach over here for my pumpkin."

Who's the Boss?

Mommy and Daddy like to think they're the boss but we know the truth.....

Scarlett and Sadie:  "We know who wears the pants in this family!  And it's NOT Daddy!"

Serena:   "Yeah and the boots in this family too!"

Couch Potatoes

We don't get to watch much TV but when we do it's something REALLY good like Sesame Street or our Potty Power DVD.  It just doesn't get any better than Potty Power, let me tell you.  Those big people go berserk when the kid says he's all done and proudly displays the "end" result.  It makes for good television....it's a reality show!

Sadie:  "I can't believe this is all that's on."
Scarlett:  "Oh nasty.....don't watch, Teddy Bear."
Serena:  "Gross....it's so much easier with a diaper."

Pumpkin Festival

Today we went to the Pumpkin Festival down the road from our house.  They had rides, farm animals, food, and pumpkins!  We went into the petting zoo and saw goats, ducks, and even baby piglets.  They didn't like being picked up too much....but then again, neither do we sometimes.  It's kind of annoying being held there with your feet up in the air, you can't do anything you want....you know?

Scarlett:  "So is this it?  We're just supposed to sit here going in circles?"

Sadie:  "Yeah I guess so.  That's cool.  Hey, kid, what are you looking at?  Wait your turn."
Serena:  "Which kid?"

Sadie:  "That one over there in the red shirt.  He knows who he is."
Serena:  "Sadie, be nice!"

Sadie:  "A dragon with a red tummy, big blue eyes, with long eyelashes.....IT CREEPS ME OUT, OK!??!!  DADDY!  GET ME OFF THIS THING!!!!"

Sadie:  "This stem is kind of sharp..."
Scarlett:  "This hay is itchy on my....um....um....well it's just itchy, ok?"
Serena: "I think I like that pumpkin over there better.....the one being pulled by the tractor.  Daddy, can you get it for me?"

Sadie:  "There, that pointy piece is gone now."
Scarlett: "Ok, I'm done with the hay now.  Break out the hydrocortisone itch cream!"
Serena:  "Man.  I can't believe Daddy saddled me with this little baby pumpkin."

Scarlett:  "BIIIIIIGGG HUG!"

Sadie: "Boy, those little piglets sure do squeel..."
Serena:  "I like this one!  I want to make a jack o' lantern out of him with big eyes and a smile like THIS."

Sadie:  "You don't suppose, Daddy stepped on one of them with his big feet?"
Serena:  "Yep, I'd start on this side....it would be awesome!"
Scarlett:  "Maybe...it sounds a lot like you when he steps on yours!"
