20 Weeks

I do not want to pay our landlord fee of "you pay the first $75 on repairs" fee so I'm googling how to fix our toilet. I just finished putting Drano (or whatever brand it was) down the SLOW draining tub drain.  I love the Internet.

We took a nice walk in this nice weather to the local DG (Dollar General for you non-country livin' folk).  My arms are sore from pushing the stroller with three kids in it up the dirt road hill, but the burn feels so good.  The kids LOVED the trip.  I let them each pick a toy for under $5 and I loved seeing them look at the numbers (price tag) on the toys and say "Yes or No" to it.  Mali Su of course took the longest and bought something that was $5 unlike her siblings who chose $1 items.  She can never finish her art on time or pick first.

Aimi Lark is in a monochromatic phase with her wardrobe. I am letting her embrace her version of "matching."

Ok it looks like it's a lost cause on the tub and toilet.  I would have happily just called a plumber if it was my own place but being "forced" to pay this $75 makes me not want to.  Stubborn I know.  I don't make my tenants pay this type of fee.  I just feel like we're being "nickel and dimed" by our management company.

The boys (Malachi) constantly ask me to take pictures of them together.  This one is titled, "dirty silly faces required, clothing optional."

 Solomon's blond curls are so angelic.

 I made Nutella Hot Chocolate for after trick or treating and SOMEONE, I'm not naming names, was found eating what was left in the jar.  The jar may or may not have been taken from the trash to commit this act.

 The ONLY candy I look forward to eating (stealing) from my kids on Halloween is the Kit Kat bars.  Since when did they go from 2 sticks to 1?  They're kidding right?  It seemed like a cruel trick to me.  Sure they're a little bit thicker, but not much.  Ok maybe I like the Nerd candy too, but honestly sweets aren't my thing.

 Malachi came to me the other day and told me he looked like he was wearing a diaper.  He had on TONS of underwear.  It was all good til he went to the bathroom and couldn't pull them back up.  He has only been seen wearing one pair at a time since then.

My arms are still burning from pushing the kids up the hill in the stroller.  I think I found a new workout for me and burn the kids out so they will fall asleep from pure exhaustion activity for the kids.  

I love the FALL weather, it's my favorite.
