Halloween

It was a rainy night for Halloween this year. Bo dressed up as a Pirate (Jake from the Neverland pirates show) and Emmy was Peter Pan. We tried to see if Emmy wanted to be a princess or even Tinker Bell but she had her mind up to be Peter Pan. I like how she even had the pose down with her hands on her hips.

Emmy didn't last long outside because she was afraid of ghosts and monsters. I think the wind was blowing away her umbrella which she thought was a ghost. Bo was ready to go. He carried his umbrella around with him and went to all the normal houses. I don't think we did as many as last year but it was raining pretty good for awhile and windy. Emmy went in after about 10 houses and then Bo went to the next court while Emmy stayed inside with Mommy where the ghosts can't get her.

Pumpkin Carving

The kids picked out what they wanted their pumpkin. We looked at quite a few pictures online. Bo settled on Darth Vadar. Emmy chose Arial (she asked if it was ok if she called her Mermaid).

Daddy did the carving so it is hard to make out what they are. We will need to check how they look in the dark with a candle inside, hopefully a little better. The are holding the pictures we used to duplicate. They colored them while we were carving.

Kids at Sky Zone

Bo had his last soccer game last weekend so they had his end of the season party at Sky Zone (a trampoline place). The kids love the place. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4n3eKWjALo

Pumpkin Patch

Two weeks ago, we took our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. A friend of Daddy's had a pavilion there that we were invited to so the kids were treated to some fun. This is our traditional photo in front of the pyramid of pumpkins.

Bo couldn't decide which pumpkin to pick. He wanted to decorate it and make another pirate ship out of it.

Emmy on the other hand was carrying around this little one every where and wouldn't let go of it. Then when we got our mini wagon she kept filling it up we many. Daddy made a rule that you can get any pumpkin or pumpkins that you can carry yourself.

This is us on the tractor for a hay ride

On our way to the car with our pumpkins and treats.

One funny story is Emmy had to go potty so the only thing there was Johnny-on-the-spots. We went in and she said it stinks in here. Then she looked in the toiler and said ooh gross. Daddy you need to flush it. I tried to explain it to her but that didn't work out very well. She refused to go and apparently didn't have to go too bad because she held it until we got home which was about an hour later. Bo on the other hand went in there and checked everything out. So he needed a major hand washing after his turn.

Lemonade stand

Bo has been wanting to do a lemonade stand for awhile now. Today, Mommy bought some lemons at the store so he was very excited. He squeezed them and couldn't believe not much came out of it. He then tasted it and spit it out really fast because it was so sour. He forgot to add water and "salt" which he meant sugar. We did that a few times and did taste tests along the way.
He remembered to make a sign and sell it for a hundred dollars a cup. Except we made it 25 cents a cup on the sign. He picked his location and waited for customers as he said. He was yelling at cars as they drove me.

It took about 60mins to sell out as 4 customers came by and gave him money for the lemonade. He was more excited to count his money than anything. He is going to buy an angry bird set.

He would tell all the customers thanks and see you next time. By the way, next time he wants to sell strawberry lemonade. When he went to bed tonight, he asked if we were doing another lemonade stand tomorrow.

Disney World Trip

I think the kids were ready to go to Disney

The kids running on the airplane through the "tunnel". Emmy asked "Where are we going?"

We had "Buger King" happy meals to eat on the plane. Emmy was very nervous that her meal was going to blow away or out the window on the airplane. She closed the shade and wouldn't let go of her meal. It was very funny.

Emmy went to Bippy-Boppy-Boo to get her down like a princess. She was dressed like Princess Sophia, her favorite princes. This is a picture of her prior to the make-over all ready to go.

Next store to the boutique was the Lego store. Outside, all the kids were building mini race cars and racing them.

Here is a picture of the princess getting hair done.

She got her nails done of course too

They don't let the kids see themselves in the mirror until they are finished. Then they surprise them by turning the chair to face the mirror.

Here are pictures of the kids when they first see the Castle (Mickey's House) up close for the first time.

The next morning Emmy had breakfast with Cinderella at her castle in Disney World.

Bo meeting his hero Buzz Lightyear.

Emmy and Bo meeting Ariel, the mermaid princess.

After a long day at the Magic Kingdon, the kids passed out right away. Plus, they had a surprise from Mickey and Minnie in the room when we came back to the hotel room from the park.

The next day we went to the Beast's castle to see Belle. The boys made a stop at Gasteau's castle to have a drink.

Bo & Emmy got to meet Woody and Jessie. Emmy doesn't like the people in costumes covering their head. Jessie must be special because this is as close to a character as she got.

Bo went to the Pirates of the Caribbean section and dressed up like a pirate. He choose Jake of course and was hardly recognizable.

On Weds morning, we went to Hollywood Studios for breakfast with the stars of Disney Junior. Bo was dancing with his favorite Jake

We went on a backstage tour and Mommy volunteered to do some acting. This involved cleaning a boat and then bombs getting dropped down on her. Also, there was a lot of splashing and getting wet.

Later that day, we did the Jedi training which I posted about earlier.

On Thursday, we went to Epcot and did a few of the rides. Bo and Daddy created their own virtual car and did a test drive in it. Bo really liked this one because it involved creating all the details on the car and being able to drive it around up to 65mph.

The kids had a change to meet Mary Poppins in Great Britain country.

On Friday, we went back to the Magic Kingdom. Mickey and crew were putting on a show so the kids decided to dance

On Saturday, we have video going home

This is a video after a long day getting in the car at the airport to finally come home. I think someone was very tired and sad

Botube - built a maze

On Saturday, Bo was playing with his people and built this cool maze. After we gave him compliments on it, he wanted to do a video of it so here it is.

Then of course, Emmy wanted to do one also. She was pretending to go on Holiday with her make-up, jewelry, and purses.

Bo at the driving range

Bo had a half day last week so Daddy picked him. We ate lunch then went to the driving range for fun.

After the bucket of balls, we played putt-putt. Then we went to the train store for an hour before picking up Emmy. When we got Emmy, Bo was telling her about his special day so he asks her what she wanted to do. Of course, she picked the library to get books. Bo likes the library because he gets a movie and video game for the Wii.

 When we came home, we had Bo's favorite food for dinner. Breakfast food or "pamcakes" in the shape of Mickey Mouse.

 He went to bed about 7ish and was sound asleep by 7:30 that night.

Emmy playing soccer with her purple sox

While we were waiting for Bo's practice to start, we tried to practice on our own. This is a good picture of Bo playing in the dirt in the background and Emmy dribbling to the goal. She wore her purple shorts and new purple socks pulled up like Bo. She was excited to play.

One thing that was funny was when I told her to dribble, she picked the ball up and tried to dribble like a basketball. She didn't understand dribbling in soccer was with your feet and basketball was with your hands.

Bo did have practice and did great for the first 30mins while the trainer taught them things, played them games, and pretended to be a slingshot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwiyt92k2Ew

After training they played a scrimmage against themselves. Since there were just 8 of them, it was 4on4 with no subs on a real small field. He did well for the first 5mins chasing down the ball and even dribbling with it for awhile. Then someone cut in front of him and stole the ball from him. He stopped and had a look on his face like what happened. After that he pretty much sat down and cried the rest of the scrimmage saying "I can't do it. It is too hard." We tried to convince him that his team needed his help but he just didn't want to try anymore.
