Mommy's Favorite Picture

Hi all,

The girls are prepping a very large post which will hit the blog in a little bit, but before they do, I wanted to share with you my favorite photo from the weekend.



The best part: this isn't posed - they do this all the time.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween from Ariel, Flounder, King Triton and the Mermaid Mommy.

I Literally Can't Stop Kissing Them When They Wear Footie Pajamas

At the Park...

Amber: This is fun! Swinging! I love the park - this is great!

Chloe: This IS really fun.

Amber: Eh, I'm over it. I'd like to eat some woodchips now.

Chloe: You're not allowed.

Amber: The park sucks.

Chloe: You'll like it once you are big like me - you will lose your interest in eating lumber and get to go climbing like me and my friend.

Amber: Oh, he's your friend, is he?

Chloe: Yeah, he my friend.

Amber: What's his name?

Chloe: Uh. His name... his name is... "hey, friend."

Amber: As I suspected. Just be careful.

Chloe: I careful.

Amber: I'm just saying that when boys don't take the time to make sure you know their name, they could be trouble.

Chloe: Whattya talk?

Amber: This boy could lead you right over a cliff... or a jungle gym.

Mommy: Chlo, be careful! That boy is bigger than you... I don't know if that's a good---

(CRASH)

(tears, kisses, tears, kisses, hugs, fear, tears, kisses)

Chloe: Sometimes the park sucks.

Amber: Yup.

We're Communicating!

Amber: Mommy and Daddy are always trying to get me to sign things since I refuse to speak to them. They are always saying "Eat, Amber? Do you want to eat?" while tapping their mouths or they say, "More, Amber? Do you want some more?" while tapping their fingers together.

Whatever.

Sometimes I throw them a bone and do weird things with my hands so they think I'm listening.

Mommy especially enjoyed this one. I kept putting my hand up and then she would slap it and then she would put her hand down and I would slap it. We both laughed and laughed.

I have no idea what we were talking about... turns out, neither did she.

Mommy: Daddy! Daddy! Amber and I are communicating... but I don't know about what.

Amber: Heh! Just as I planned! I'm the mysterious one.

Negligent Blogging

Chloe: I can't believe that Mommy hasn't typed for us since October 7! Today is October 25th? What was she thinking?

Amber: I know, it's as if she has abandoned us. Just locked us in the kitchen and abandoned us.

Chloe: I think she's been really busy at work.

Amber: I don't think that is an excuse.

Chloe: Well, you've always been judgmental.

Amber: True.

Space Travel and Dinner

Chloe (rummaging through cabinet as we are cooking dinner): My helmet!

Chloe (still rummaging): Look! Mommy, look! Here a helmet for you! Put this on your head, Mommy! PUT THIS ON YOUR HEAD!

Daddy: Oh, I need a picture of this.
