The kids were ready! They had been talking about her for weeks and now was the time to see if they could get her here. Juliette thought she would be super impressed with her new cursive handwriting.
The babies as you could tell were excited as well. Tripp let us know that even though Juliette loves her... "I don't love her... She is f-weaky"
The next morning the children woke up to a note from Toothetina their Tooth Fairy. It was quite cute... Juliette and Tripp were quite surprised and a little confused. It is perfect because the older they get, the more I've got to make sure I'm on my game.
SOOOO...
with that being said I crafted a totally new plan! Belinda would arrive early evening while Juliette was playing at Tessa and Doh's house and Tripp at soccer practice with Daddy. The babies and I got everything ready. Juliette has been devastated that her breathing dog Belinda was left under the airplane seat. She talked about her daily and was assured knowing that she could talk to Santa and surely he would find her and bring her home.
Well, instead, guess who Belinda found while she was flying through the air? Nutmeg! This time Nutmeg came home in a special dog carrier so that she would not be dropped from the broom!
The babies were hilarious. Tyler was terrified of her and backed away whenever I tried to have her talk to him. Thomas was unphased. He thought she looked like a nice maybe a little scary looking kinda lady. I tried everything to get a good picture with them and her....
100 pictures later.... and we did end up with two precious ones!
Well then the kids got home! I was hidden in a bush and got to video the whole thing! Mom and Don timed everything perfectly and arrived home at the same time. This video is ONCE and a LIFETIME... I may not ever be able to pull something off like this again!
As a Mom, the shock, the aww, the joy and the magic brings tears to my eyes! Juliette realizes that she is stuffed but in her eyes, her little mind still tells her that Belinda is filled with magic and really flies in on the broom to come to us every year!
It was time to try the babies' costumes on. Once again, Tyler is not all up on this whole costume thing. I dressed Thomas first and had to hold him so Tyler would begin to approach and pet the puppy...
Then slowly Tyler got comfortable that underneath it was really Thomas.... It was first worth a look
and then worth a hug but not ready to look and hug...
Then "Hello it is you my sweet brother!"
See after all there is nothing to fear! They are getting all prepped for the big day!
The big kids' costumes came today! Besides Belinda, there is nothing quite as exciting during Halloween than the arrival of the costumes.... Juliette was crazy about her long blue hair as part of her matching Belinda witch costume! The outfit even came fit for witch shoes with a point and buckle! And then there is batman... yes no words needed for that guy!
Keep the Fall coming! We love it... we love the weather, the magic, the excitement, the giggles, cooler evenings. I am thankful for all of this! Enjoy each day my friends!
My cup runneth over!
