I was tired of him borrowing my Survivor buffs so I bought him a plain black version of his own.

Today’s superheroes!
Blue hair princess
The cuteness before the storm.
Being cute…before the eventual shitstorm that comes with a three-year-old.
You never know what you’ll find at the dollar store!
Of course we had to get it. 🙂
Blue Ninja
Uncle Rob named this one. 🙂
100th Day of School
My first-ever attempt at making Owen 100 years old for his 100th day of school:
Oops! Forgot the glasses!
Typical Owen. 🙂
And of course little sister had to grab the glasses. 🙂
Pictures from the school’s Facebook page:
Surprise! A new Cinderella dress!
Friends gave us a Cinderella dress because it was too big for their kids. This is me surprising Katie with it.
Happy girl!
She still loves the Elsa hat.
She wears it randomly all day long—along with the Anna hat, too.
No, she doesn’t like Frozen.
Katie playing with her new stuff.
Sofia/Barbie Supergirl
Flying around the house.
Watching a movie in her new sleeping bag…with her old backpack, of course.
Putting all her new princesses in her new dollhouse.
You’ll notice two of the princesses are “wearing Crocs” — she hung the Croc keychain on their heads. 🙂
Christmas Day
My new Michigan State tee from Grannie and Papa (since I don’t have one that fits anymore)!
Our Princess Sofia!
“I have an amulet!”
Anna/Sofia lining up all her princesses in her dollhouse.
Maggie loving her squeaky lobster!
My outgrown monkey
Because I like to plan and shop ahead, I’ve had this 18m Halloween costume for probably 2-3 years…but unfortunately she never got to wear it and now it’s too small. (Last year would have been perfect but so was the MSU Cheerleader.) Surprisingly it still kinda fit so I had to get a picture! She was SO excited to be a monkey!!
Halloween in Grayling
The kids were super excited about treak-or-treating at Gramma’s house…and we were, too…until the Michigan weather happened. Yeah, it was 38° and rainy. Egads. If you look closely enough you can see Katie’s polka-dot long johns under her white tights (and she also had on pink tights!).
On the front porch where my Halloween picture was taken every year…
Everyone (including Uncle Rob) ready to head out!
There weren’t many houses lit up but the ones that were were handing out TONS of candy! You see how full their bags look? We had only hit maybe six houses at this point!
After about 15 minutes they gave up on the umbrellas and just ran from house to house while we waited at the road. Soon enough we were back at Gramma’s door!!
Home after an hour of being out in the rain—they were soaked but happy!!
Tom gave the kids a hot shower and put them in PJs while I made them hot cocoa!
Eating Mallow cups from daddy and Uncle Rob—they were Grandma Marsha’s favorite treat and someone brought a bag of them for the boys.
LOOKS AT THEIR HAUL!! The weather sure stunk but it was great for quick candy accumulation. They got 9# of candy from less than 20 houses!
Halloween starts tonight!
Owen’s school Fall Festival was tonight and we wanted some one-on-one time with him so asked friends to watch Katie. They were going to a Trunk or Treat event so she was excited! She was Rapunzel—with Pascal on her shoulder!
And then we had Harry Potter—SO stinkin’ cute!
With his fresh scar:
Getting his new shoes tied. I bought these shoes on clearance about four years ago and they’re finally the right size…and worked well with his costume!
Couldn’t you just eat him up?
We kept bouncing back and forth between the games in the gym and the music in the cafeteria. He didn’t want to dance but loved playing with the hula hoops! He was very shy because he didn’t know many of the kids.
And you’ll notice he’s missing the glasses. Yeah. He decided about 15 minutes in that he didn’t want to wear them. Or carry his broom. Kids. :/
Back to games!
And then since it was crazy crowded and he was pretty much done, we suggested frozen yogurt—and he wanted to leave immediately. 🙂
Katie actually got home later than us! They said she qas very well-behaved and had a BLAST! And she came home with a TON of candy!
The vampire teeth were the favorite thing.
And, lastly, pics from Katie’s night. Her friend Ainsley is Tinkerbell.
Ghoulish Princess
We happened upon Rapunzel, Snow White, and ghoul costumes at the thrift store Sunday. Today Katie put two of them together.
Katie’s new hat
Two princesses
We went to a friend’s house today for a few hours. Katie loved the dress up princess dresses.
Rapunzel
Elsa
Katie is Anna today!
She gets to wear a dress for potty training so she picked Anna. Then she wanted Anna hair. 🙂
Hurry up, Halloween!
This is a 3T (bought last year and didn’t wear) and it’s a little tight.
Two princesses
We ran an errand, went to the playground, then ended up going right to a friend’s house for [what ended up to be] four hours! The girls did pretty well, and they were both in these for at least an hour. 🙂
“Hey! Minion girl right here!”
After we got home, Katie found the minion goggles. She announced herself by saying “Hey! Minion girl right here!”
All the pics from my day at once.
She always wants to comb my hair but I only let her on days that I wash and condition it.
He said it was costume day so we did this (he can’t get in/out of his costumes by himself).
ABCs while shopping.
This is what she was busy doing while I wasn’t watching. And this is her pout when I tell her she needs to pick them all up.
She tried a ham and cheese (no condiment) sandwich—and actually ate most of it!
I decided to make my all-time favorite garlic toast today because the bread was on sale B1G1 at the store.
“Mama, I want to put the water in please.” Except 98% of it didn’t make it in.
Outdoor lap selfie!
The little stink beat me!!
She loves mama’s shoes.
Spiderprincess!
The Birthday Girl all decked out!
Since she had gotten her birthday shirt dirty yesterday, it was still in the laundry this morning. 🙂
Trying to get a selfie, we ended up with this really cool picture of her waving her wand in front of us!
I didn’t get THE perfect picture, but there are some cute ones. I’ve had this Birthday Girl set waiting for her ever since she was a baby!
Happy 3rd Birthday Katie Bug!
And then a tantrum shot for good measure (she couldn’t get her backpack zipped):
Fairy Camp, Day 3
In the pretty princess crown they colored today!
Fairy Camp, Day 2
A real dance leotard and stockings today!
Fairy Camp!
I signed Katie up for a Fairy Camp every morning this week at a local dance studio. We didn’t tell her about it until last night…and she was EXCITED!
I had this outfit picked out for her until I re-read their email and it said “no skirts”…
I didn’t really think they meant tutu-type skirts but I didn’t want to take a chance, so we switched to fairy (Tinkerbell) pants.
Stealing my sunglasses. 🙂
I asked about the skirts and she can wear tutus so the rest of the week will be easy. I just have to decide what she’ll wear on her birthday Friday—the Frozen “3” shirt with a big matching foofy tutu or her real ballerina outfit. 🙂
It was really hard for me not to be there and take pictures…
When we picked her up I asked if she had fun. YES!! (I didn’t expect any less!) She had a craft project (mini water bottle filled with blue water and trinkets), she told us about her snack (rainbow goldfish), and showed us her dance moves when we got home!
