My Super Mario
Hey yalls! Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! Ours was okay. We didn't do as much trick or treating as we would have liked but the kids still have more than enough candy! Connor dressed up as Super Mario and he played the part very well! I can rarely get this kid to smile for me in pictures, let alone pose! He had so much fun being Mario, that I got plenty of candid pics! Corbin was a lil ninja! A super cute one at that as you can see!
Getting that picture was no simple task of my youngest spidermonkey! He moves fast! He wouldn't wear the mask part, as they usually don't want to at 2 yrs old, so I decided to give him a lil moustache and goatee. ;) Cute ain't he? He had a blast getting candy!
My hubby got in the spirit of Halloween and dressed as a ninja too! Here is a pic of him and the boys as we are fixing to head out for candy!
I also dressed up a lil bit... I usually get into the spirit, but this year I just wore a moustache and a bat headband. I was nothing inparticular. Last year I dressed up as Mary Kate Olsen post-anorexia. It got a lot of good laughs! LOL This year I was just a moustache mama. =)
So I have to share with yalls the scare of my life that my oldest son gave me at the store yesterday. He has gotten to the age where he refuses to use the ladies bathroom in public places. He's almost 6 yrs old, so I understand where he is coming from. Our rule is that the whole time he is in the bathroom, he has to sing so I know he is okay. I know it sounds crazy to people who are outside or in the bathroom hearing it, but that's our safety thing. We have been working on the stranger danger lately. If someone tries to take him and he does not know them or if he feels scared by an adult he doesn't know, that he is to yell "YOU ARE NOT MY MOM! YOU ARE NOT MY DAD! HELP!" So I was probably 10 ft from the bathrooms. I could hear him singing and I was looking at milk and eggs, and I hear "YOU ARE NOT MY MOM! YOU ARE NOT MY DAD! HELP!" I got a knot in my stomach and pushed that cart as fast and hard as I could into that bathroom with my fists in the air! I fearfully go "CONNOR!?!?!" and he says "Hey mom! I am practicing for strangers while pooping!" Oh. My. God. He sounded so real and scared! My heart was pounding and there was a woman who came running up behind me. She asked if everything was okay and I told her it was, that he was practicing his stranger danger but scared the hell out of me in the process! She had heard him yell too and saw me run and she came too! It was a damn good thing there was no man in that bathroom stall, innocent or not, because me and that woman were in Momma Bears Gonna Kick Some Ass mode. It took 5 minutes for me to settle down... actually longer than that but my hands were shaking soooooooooooooooo bad! So we had to have a talk about when to practice stranger danger, and practicing in the public bathroom is not a good place. It's hilarious NOW, but wow, I was scared and pissed and raged and frightened... BUT I am so happy that the stranger danger has finally kicked in with him! If someone we did not know would jokingly say to him "You want to come home with me?" and he would say "Do you have chocolate cake and soda?" or "What's your house like?". Talk about scared momma here! Any weirdo could have tempted my kid with soda and cake! Geesh! But we are beyond that now and he knows better than that now.
Well, it's November yalls! 4 More days to vote! I hope everyone has done their American duty.... well, the ones who are registered and here in the U.S. LEGALLY that is!
I have to go. Corbin has had God only knows how much candy this afternoon (i found his sucker stash in the toybox a bit ago). There were several half sucked suckers and empty and chewed up sucker sticks laying around the bedroom!
Who knows what kind of stories I will have to share with yalls after this afternoon!!!!!!!
