Mom's Gone Wild

We had so much fun last night. You should have seen these crazy mom's lined up as early as 5:30 pm for a midnight movie of Twilight! We got there at around 10:30 pm and got into the 12:30 am showing! We had such a good time and I have to say I was sooo excited to see this movie. As I stated in my previous post I just started reading the first book on Monday and had six pages left to read when we arrived at the movie theater. I took advantage of our waiting time and read the last few pages just barely before the movie had started. So that's why it was extra exciting for me since it was all so fresh! I loved the movie and especially loved the soundtrack! Of course movies are never as good as the books and all the details that are left out, but it was pretty good in spite of that! They had so much chemistry and even though it was already 2 hours long and 2:30 am I could have sat there another hour watching these fascinating characters! It was a blast, even though we all had hang overs this morning!!!
Tina, Myself, and LaRon were for sure Team Edward! Now Shauna announced on the way that she was Team Jacob. I wasn't sure what that meant since I haven't read the second book, but all I knew was it wasn't Edward and I was appalled! However after the movie Shauna reclaimed herself and told us she was now Team Edward! I mean He was pretty hot in the movie! (okay now I'm really sounding like a desperate housewife) And Wendy we called her the Twilight Virgin having not read any of the books yet! Thanks girls for a fun night!
LaRon, Julie, & Me
Reading my last few pages while waiting for the movie to start. Talk about waiting till the last minute, and talk about being a big dork!

My Crazy Girls

In this picture, they look so sweet and so innocent, but let me tell you they've been up to mischief this week. It's been one of those crazy mom weeks where I think I only had 2 meltdowns...:)

It started off normal with a Movie in the Park Night! They were actually really good and Ava sat on my lap the whole time watching Kung Fu Panda. Thanks to the Bishops for such a fun idea!
I turned my back for only a few minutes and found Ava upstairs in my Mac make-up. She had concealer all over her face along with much more. She was quite proud, and I had to laugh so that I wouldn't cry!

Then I heard Sofia running inside yelling "Save the Barbies" Because of the panic in her voice I ran outside to see what she was talking about and saw all of their Barbies being Sacrificed in our pretty tall palm tree! Hartman and I were laughing so hard at the sight of this...Evidently she & Isabella tossed them so high I couldn't even get them all down without help! Their little imaginations are so funny!

The ceremonial sacrifice of Mariposa the Barbie!
Now this was the icing on the cake! I woke up yesterday morning with a little Bug standing beside my bed saying Maaaa Maaaa like a little sheep! I opened my eyes and saw Ava standing right in front of me! I thought Hartman must have gotten her out of bed. We went downstairs and saw daddy outside. I asked him if he got her out and he said no. We both just looked at each other with doom! So we put her back in the crib to see how she escaped. In the video we were both laughing thinking it was cute. But later on that night when having to put her back in the bed about 5 times and skipping nap time all together, it wasn't so funny! You can tell she's pretty proud in this video! What a cute little bug!

Twilight Addict...I finally Gave In!



I know I'm late jumping on the band wagon. My sister LaRon had been trying to get me to read Twilight for a while now along with the other million mom's dying over it, but I just couldn't bring myself to start another addiction. I knew I'd like it, but didn't have time to get caught up in one more thing. I mean I already have two many tv show addictions, blogging addiction, and digital storybooking addiction, and not to mention my beautiful little girls and one handsome husband to take care of. So LaRon and my sister in law Julie along with some friends bought the midnight showing of Twilight's Movie on Thursday night and of course I want to see it. So I decided I better read the book before Thursday! I started it yesterday and yes I'm loving it ( I knew I would). I'm on chapter six and I hope I can get it read before Thursday night, Even if it means some late nights! My husband thinks we're silly girls! He'll think silly when he sees us in our TEAM EDWARD T-SHIRTS Thursday night!

Halloween (+Much More)

This Halloween was filled with so much fun! We took 2 trips to the pumpkin patch: one as a family and one as a field trip, we had 2 school Halloween parties, one amazing Hartner Halloween Party just for Mommy's and daddies, pumpkin carving, Trunk or Treat, and Trick or Treat! The girls got to wear their costumes 4 times this month which they loved! Notice Hartman's handmade freaky costume! He worked really hard on this in our garage one day! He even rigged it so he could pull a rope and move the hatchet! The work paid off because he won 2 costume contests! Hope you all had a Happy Halloween, I know we did!
Trunk or Treat
Miss Daisy Duck...aka Ava! She really got the hang of trick or treating. We would stroll up to the house, she would quickly get out and waddle to the front door and hold out her pumpkin then waddle back to the stroller! Towards the end her pumpkin got so heavy she was dragging it, but she wouldn't let go for anything! She loves those suckers!!! What a cutie!
Wonder Woman...AKA Sofia. Strike that pose. It's so funny, because if you notice this is Sofia's favorite pose! She does this in almost every picture...even when she's not Wonder Woman! We call it the Aunt Nanette pose. Because she did it one time and her Aunt Lynette laughed so hard that she does it all the time now!
Purple Fairy...AKA Isabella. Bella was so proud of this costume and picked it out herself! She was especially proud of the purple hair! She loved it! She said this was the perfect costume because the "Tinkerbell" movie had just come out! So cute!
He only made a few kids cry...
Grandma and Grandpa Stosich were able to be down here from Idaho for this week and enjoyed trunk or treat with us! The girls were so happy they were here!
Sofia, Hayden, Saylor, and Bella: Cousins and Best Friends
Fire Fighter E. Stosich and Scary Freaky Man....AKA Emily & Hartman! We had a lot of fun at the Hartner Halloween party! The skits were hysterical! Bees! Bees!
The Stosich Family at the Pumpkin Patch
Trying to get Sofia to leave the pumpkin patch was not fun at all. She kept hiding behind the pumpkins. I got the shot of her peeking her big brown eyes up to see if the coast was clear!
Stosich Sisters



Our little punkin
The girls like getting all the gooey junk out of the pumpkin then watching dad carve a scary face! Excuse the lack of clothes! I'm surprised Isabella wasn't stripped down in the photo as well, usually they are all naked!
Sofia's Pre-school Costume Party! They decorated cookies, had a treasure hunt, made spider webs, and played games. Thanks Tina! It's that pose again!

Isabella's Pre-school Costume party! They trick or treated inside Mrs. Mandi's house. The mom's were behind the doors in the house! Isabella thought it was funny to keep coming back to trick or treat to my door!
