Halloween Practice

It's here - October. Prep for Halloween. We tried out a new recipe for popcorn balls and did a taste test with the neighbors. (Sorry Ryan and Madelyn - You will get to be taste testers again)Cheers were heard by all. Here is the recipe. It may be strange, but it is like Rice Krispie treats with a flavor twist. Kylie has decided to be Supergirl for Halloween. She tested the concept with our flour sack kitchen towel. Practice flying was halted with the arrival of her hero - Daddy! Kylie is trying so hard to convince Hayli to be a Supergirl just like her, but Hayli is leaning towards "Hanna Montana"

4 Wheelin' Girls

I only have one word for this video and it is worth repeating..

Helmets... Helmets... HELMETS!

Thank You Grandma Lisa

Grandma Lisa (aka Lisa Folds) traveled to San Francisco and brought back gifts from China town, which were made in Mexico. (Less chance of lead poisoning - Good move Lisa) Do you think if China is outsourcing to Mexico, Mexico will soon own China? It's happening now with America outsourcing to China - China now is living the American Dream.

Okay... Okay, I will get off my political soapbox and post pics of my grandchildren.

Kylie has played hard with her fan, and now she has developed "Kylie Technology" to make it work for her. Hayli is determined not to have Kylie rework her fan and keeps it closed within Kylie's reach.

First Day of Fall 2009

The first day of fall and it was a beautiful day. We bought matching fall outfits for the girls and we wanted to wait till today and give them their surprise.

Grandpa took pictures of them at the park by our house. We are so lucky to live in our area with all the parks so close. We also made homemade Vegggie Beef Soup and Carrot Cupcakes - We are into fall!

Playing With the Bug Family Tree

The girls found locust shells all over our pear tree and collected them to play house. The girl next door did not want to play house with this type of paper doll, no matter how much the girls tried to convince her to play.

When it was time to come in, I told them no bugs allowed in Grandmas house.

Excitement at Our House

... Jason and friend Chris off to see the fights in OK ... Lisa off to the State Fair. ... Hayli and Kylie are spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa. We made Home-made Gingerbread Pancake Mix. Our secret recipe. Hayli was so excited to make up a recipe. They were wonderful. We also made 2 batches of Grandma's Cocoa Mix. Kylie takes a walk and wants to have cocoa when she gets done, and what does it matter if it is 80 degrees. We had "Upside Down Day" and ate Pancakes, Bacon, eggs, and applesauce for dinner. Before we ate our dinner, we made sock puppets. (Pics later today) We threw all this in as well as homework, baths, brushing teeth, and the traditional nightime dance marathon. The four of us slept very well.

The Princesses Perform

Hayli was out of school last Tuesday. The entire day it poured rain and playing outside was impossible. Hayli suggested dressing up and making a video for the blog. So without further ado - Here is Princess Hayli and Princess Kylie

The above story is fiction and was inspired by the dreams of potty training rewards. Not all dreams come true, no matter how hard you try to convince Grandma
