Happy 4th Birthday Mr. Vincent

Vincent....about to turn 4....he's one of kind....and yes he likes to dress up!!! and maybe even shoot people when he's in disguise.

For Vincent's Fourth Birthday Party...he wanted a Roaarring Dinosaur Party....
so like a great father...and mother...we stayed up...making dinoraurific tails for the kids to wear at the party. Chris did most of the work. He bought, measured, cut and sewed...SEWED the dino tails...I just flipped and stuffed. I was in charge of feet and mask and other decorations...as well as food.

the quickly made dino-turtl-ish wall decoration (all because of Mia's poodle-very last minute)

Dino eggs and creepy crawlies

Vincents Dinosaur cake...

not what we had planned it to be...but cute.

Vincent showing off his dinosaur skill with his dinosaur mask...feet...I guess hands...and tail...

Mia...as the innocent dino...

Time for hatch the dino...rub the dino-egg (balloon and say the magic words) and see if your baby dinosaur will come out!!!

For a little fun...we went to the Children's Musuem. Vincent and Mia were making Christmas Bags....I think the glue sticks were their favorite thing to play with

Mia thought the jump thing...was pretty cool

Waiting to check out....grocery shopping takes time...

Vincent is here to help check her out....well only partially...the little girl behind the register was not going to give up her role yet...so Vin just helped her out every once and while...Mia just put her things up on the counter.

Nana and Vin putting a puzzle together while waiting for his new train table being put together...

Just a few little tickles from Papa....

Sibling play

Every once in awhile...well it happens more and more now..and I love love love it...the kids are playing together...here I got picture to prove it. Now it may not last long...and yes they may fight during it...but it does happen

Trick or Treat 2011

Trick Or Treat

Halloween 2011

ABC Childcare had trick or treat...which Daddy was great...wonderful almighty daddy and got the kids ready and took them for a night full of fun and games. Vincent and Mia had alot of fun..and course got alot of candy.

The church down the street: StoneBridge always has Trunk or Treat. We enjoy going, even though we are not members...still trying to find our calling at a church....

Vin and Mia waiting their turn so patiently...so proud of them...it was a little colder than we thought. So glad we didnt' go as long as we had originally planned on. (Mia took a longer nap than we thought)

Mia's turn for golfin' bible style...

of course...since I didn't blog this right away...can't remember what the bible story was now...

or this was either...guess I should maybe read up on my bible stories too...I might be able to guess...but then again if I guess wrong and then post it here...and people read it....ugh...

small break time picture with mommy...dont they look excited about it!

one of my favorite pictures of the kids...

oh...but I do remember this one...parting of the sea....

Daddy helping Vin shoot down....the King....or something not too sure on this one...I was really cold by this time...I honestly didn't pay attention...just saw the marshmallows and slingshooter thingy's.....

Mia...who...I think might be a little chilled

AND NOW...its actually HALLOWEEN NIGHT!!!

added to the mix...face paint...per Vincent's request....
Mia: the Bumble bee

Vincent: the Dinosaur

Our personal Zombie


and the Marcello Family..

I bent down to get a pic with the kids while trick or treatin' and they did the same...kinda cute...

walking up to the houses...like a big girl...once we got the hang of it...we kinda like it.

Cousin Aaliyah and Mia all done trick or treating...and all ready for bed...NOT!!!

Vincent had fun trick and treatin'...and didnt want to stop, but then we came home to see how Daddy was doing scaring the neighbors. Vin saw how he did it and then he wanted to help. He first sat next to the hold scary statue that he was a few years ago...and just watched and the night went by and it got darker he moved into the yard next to the tombstones. As people walked up to the house...he would creep up behind them...they wouldn't even notice them...Chris would scare-spook them and then Vin would scare them on the way back down the drive way...it was AWESOME....I so wish my camera could have caught it. It was too dark. People thought we planned it. It was all Vincent...he just did it.

at the end of the night.....worn out!
