Things I've Meant To Blog About, Part 3: Vash's First Day of Preschool, Halloween Prep, and Everything Else

So... because we're down to the "everything else", most of what follows will not be in any particular order. But it should be fun and enjoyable just the same. Beneath each picture, I will post a brief description and probably a random/funny/sweet thing my child said. Okay... Go!

Rhyla lining up her to-read list. 

"So... did you make a pie tomorrow?"

Loving him some Daddy. 

After Craig left for work again today, Vash comes in to say goodnight and says, "Mommy, I'll give you a kiss and a hug and you give it to Daddy when you see him, okay?"

Vash experimenting with cooking. (A banana with fruit snacks smashed into it.)

After cleaning his plate of French Toast in about two seconds flat; "That was AWESOME! More?"

Vash experimenting with more food. (Pepperoni, Sweet Chili rice cakes wrapped around a mini corn dog.)

After coloring with a red pencil that apparently freaked him out; "I don't like bleed pencils."

Rhyla attempting to walk in Me-ma's shoes.

What Rhyla calls any soda, no matter the color or actual name; "Siri Mist."

Vash jamming to some tunes without any pants on.

"Okay Rhyla, this is how you be a ring leader. 'Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you...' then you introduce me. And say I'm super strong boy and name the tricks I do."

Rhyla falling asleep on the couch after swearing she wasn't tired. 

After seeing how pretty her hair looks in pigtails; "Bash... (Her name for Vash.) Don't touch my La La Loopsy pigtails!"

Rhyla... sleeping some more. LOL.

After I tell her we need to remove the potato patches from behind her ears; "No! They're happy potatoes!"

Vash and Rhyla playing a game of Mexican Train... while they disregard any actual rules.

After I coughed and told the kids I had a tickle in my throat and they pinned me down and shouted at me until I told them to knock it off; Vash says, "Sorry Mommy. We were trying to scare your tickle bugs away."

The kids running out some energy at the park.

Rhyla singing after I asked her to help me clean up lunch; "If you're happy and you know it, throw it in the trash! Throw! Throw!"

The kids practicing synchronized sleeping. 

After Craig almost burnt the French toast and I told the kids it was French Cajun; Rhyla says, "French Cajun?" with the perfect amount of doubt in her voice.

Vash posing on his first day of preschool. 

 After I picked him up and interrogated him for about five minutes; "Mommy... can you stop asking me questions?" 

Craig, who came to see Vash off to school, playing with Rhyla on the porch. 

While waiting to pick Vash up from school; Rhyla who is standing beside me and being told how pretty she is by all the other parents says, "Look at my shoes!" (She wanted them to comment on how pretty her shoes were. LOL.)

Rhyla enjoying the crazy intense swings at the park, which I think are a great prep for Disney World. 

"Mommy, where are my princesses? Cinderella and Belle and Poker Nut?"

Vash's play dough creation. 

"This is the Earth."

Rhyla whipping her hairs out of her face.

"Mommy, can I kiss you like Mickey Mouse?"

The new trampoline Nana and Papa sent us so the kids have something fun to do when it's too cold to play outside.

The kids call it a Jumpoline. Enough said.

Rhyla loving her some Daddy. 

After being asked if she wanted to go see a chocolate factory; "No! I don't want to turn into a blueberry!"

Me and my boy.

After I accidentally called Rhyla the baby; "Mom... Rhyla's not the baby." (Looks at my belly and raises his eyebrows at me.)

Vash modeling his Knight/ Iron Man goods.

"Do I look SO handsome?"

Rhyla getting excited about sweater season.

As an excuse to put her cute hood on; "I'm chiwwy! (Chilly)"

Harriet Potter.

To taunt her brother that she got his glasses; "These are mine, Bash!"

Harry Potter.

"Griffindor! I say that word!"

Rhyla wearing a sweater that pushes her cheeks out too far.

"Look at my monster. I put him in my tummy!"

Bath time.

"This is my naked boy face."

Vash's pumpkin costume.

What another mother told me her son said about Vash; " I like all my friends at preschool. But Vash is my favorite."

 

Rhyla's Silvermist costume.

Now I know this is a picture of Rhyla but the last funny thing I have to share tonight was asked by Vash. After staring long and hard at my tummy; "Mom, when the baby's big enough, will he climb out of your mouth?"

Our front porch all bedeckled for Halloween. (Yes I know that's not a real word. Deal with it.)

And at night. (I swear Rhyla is NOT trying to look like a child of the candy corn.That's a happy face.)

 

And as a bonus; A shot of ladies Buncko Night. 

A funny thing that I heard once and repeated to Nana on the phone that she found hilarious; "Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and then get the f*ck over it."

(Forgive my asterisk swear.)
