Coming to Take Her Away

Peek-A-Boo

Understanding Complex Video Games

I was playing a game tonight that requires you to throw grenades to blow up the enemy's stuff. Elsa watched me play for a minute and then we had this quick interaction:

Elsa: So, what's the point of this game?

Me: You have to throw grenades at the enemy to blow stuff up.

Elsa: How many green eggs do you get?

I wonder what war would be like if they threw green eggs at each other instead of grenades.

Tonight We're Ganna Party Like It's 1699!

Tonight, we, and about 5,000 other diva-witches, dawned our pointy hats and accessories, and hit the town. We went to Historic Gardner Village, which is an actual abandoned village from the late 1800s, but is now a shopping center, and attended Witch Jam 2010. (It's not called Witch Jam, but I can't remember what it is called. It is 2010 though.)
We ran into some interesting characters, like this clown:
Upon arrival, the village priest absolved us of our sins. Unfortunately, he did it early in the evening and we could not find him at the end, before going home, to clean the rest up for us.



We were not scared. Witches don't get scared. We were not scared. Witches don't get scared...we were not...
Pretty witch lady.

She makes her Momma-Witch so proud!

This little teenage dancing witch troupe was the most adorable teenage witch dancing troupe I have ever seen, and also they were the first teenage dancing witch troupe I had ever seen.

Witches of all ages lined the streets. Which was awesome!

Getting Ready for Halloween

We went to "Witch School" at the museum near us, where we learned about potions, creatures, and magical rocks. Most importantly, there was a candy store. Elsa and the talking portrait.

She is casting a spell, I think.
You won't find cuter witches in this town!

They Sell EVERYTHING at WalMart!

Hi there!

Homework Help

McKayla

This is McKayla. She is our sitter's oldest child, and she is one of Adele's favorite people. She seems to be growing on Benjamin too.

Three at a Time, Please

When Elsa was born, she had two baby girls waiting to be her cousins: Victoria, and Vynessa. We called the three of them, “The Brunette, the Blonde, and the Red Head.”

Elsa loves all of her cousins, but because the three of them were born in the same year span, “Nessa”, Elsa, and “Tory” have been and still are, the best of friends.

(I have super cute pictures of these girls as babies, but they were taken back in the day when digital cameras were a rare luxury. They are actually PRINTED pictures...anyone remember those?)

Lucky for Adele, her birth-year was a triplicate cousin year too! Harley and Kix were both kind enough to come along three months behind her. Permanent playmates, built right in! Who could ask for more?

And, yesterday, Benjamin Scott met his new cousin Zaylor Scott (anyone see a name theme here, or do I need to make the bold bolder?) and, as you can see from the picture, Ben is THRILLED.

He is saying, “Zaylor, I am three months older, so I will show you the ropes. This is how you how to get the big people to do stuff for you. Watch closely now, and do as I do.”

But these boys need one more friend to complete the set. Anyone wanna get on that???? Anyone?

(You know who you are!)

And P.S. Elsa likes red –headed cousins so much, she got a new one! (OK they were not born the same year, but Elsa has really taken to Oakley.)
