No More Teasing

The other day Erin comes up to Bucky crying because the neighbor kids were teasing her.  He talked to her about how it made her feel and then asked her how she thought Levi feels when she teases him.  She decided that she wasn't going to tease Levi anymore.  A couple of hours later she was teasing Levi and Bucky called her on it and she told him that she was just teasing him for a minute.  A little while later she was teasing him again and when Bucky called her on it she says, "Dad I was just kidding when I told you I wasn't going to tease Levi anymore."

I'm Mad!

Lately Levi has an attitude.  When we get after him he stomps away and then looks at us and furrows his eyebrows and yells "I MAD!" and keeps on stomping.  He also likes to tell us, "No you stop!"  When we get after him. 

Addendum to the Car

BTW I just find it ironic that the vehicle in question has pretty much sat for the most part unused in our driveway for 2 years.  In fact, we have borrowed it to family to drive more than we have actually driven it ourselves.  The crazy part is that this happens when we are actually going to need it.  Bucky is going to have to start driving to work daily when we move this weekend.  I am not being stuck without a vehicle all day.  Plus I have to take my kids places like preschool and doctor appointments not to mention the all important Pepsi runs! 

Another lovely thing about the timing.  We just got it registered in September.  I spent 2 hours cleaning it on Saturday.  We filled it up on gas and checked and filled the fluids.  We did all these last things because we were supposed to borrow it to Bucky's brother today for like 3 weeks.  Good timing! 

The Demise of Our Car

Bucky got sideswiped by a 17 year old girl who got distracted by her dog last night.  Our poor little Suzuki, fully paid off with under 50,000 miles on it is no more.   Hopefully the insurance will pay us more than we are thinking currently.  The most important thing is that Bucky is okay and has no injuries.  He's not even complaining about whiplash even though being hit by a Dodge Ram truck spun our little tin can around! 

Halloween

Halloween was an adventure this year like always.  We started out with Erin as Snow White and used black hairspray that got everywhere.  After that she decided she wanted to be a bee because she could be the Queen Bee since being queen was better than being a princess.  Good times.  Levi was a dragon/dinosaur and went around flexing and roaring at everyone.  Meagan took turns.  First she was a soccer player (thanks Jason) and then she was a cow and then she was a pumpkin.

We did a lot of fun things.  It started on Thursday with Erin's preschool party.  Then Friday we went to the Lehi Carnival at the Legacy Center.  It was crazy with people!  Erin lost her bee wings but that just made her costume easier.  We made a lot more in gifts certificates than we made to go in so I guess that made it all worth it.  Saturday morning we did the Macey's grocery store trick-or-treat.  Some guy told Erin "Hi Bee."  She glared at him and said, "I'm not a bee, I'm Erin!"  After that we did the whole family rounds.  Then I sent Bucky out with the kids in the pouring rain to trick-or-treat while Meagan and I stayed home nice and dry.  I gave Meag her first sucker and she wasn't about to let that thing go once she tasted it. 

Our little Snow White.  Her hair really did look more black than this.

Soccer player - for Mexico?

"I'm the queen bee."

"Oh wait you are a scary dragon!"

"Hmmm....what to do?"

I win!

Meagan and Great Grandma Littleford

Meagan enjoying her sucker.

Our little "Pumpkin Muffin" as Erin has called her since she was born.

Personally I think Erin should have stayed Snow White because of the whole princess and dragon and knight in shining armour thing.  Of course, then Bucky would have had to dress up like the knight and I would have enjoyed that too much!
