My Monsters (and other random pics)

So here is my family. Faces only a mommy could love, right? Sam is adorned by the Scream mask, which Tom has used to scare the nieces and nephews for the past ten years. Today he picked up this new little beauty for a few dollars in the Halloween clearance aisle.

Then, can you guess what happened next? That's right, Tom slipped quietly up the stairs and scared the kids to death while they were in the bathtub. Sorry Toots, he's all yours and he'll never grow up . . .

We tried to get Tommy to play along, but he was NOT in a picture-taking mood. (He actually wasn't afraid of the masks--they had a blast chasing each other around playing "monster." He just didn't want to sit still for a picture!)

He soon went into meltdown mode (a common occurrence at our house) and I had to give up.

Tommy Tinker on the tiger at the mall

Daddy and Tommy watching Star Wars . . . Tom is sooo excited he'll finally sit still long enough to cuddle up for a few minutes of Star Wars . . . Sammie used to love watching them with Tom, but now she's moved on to more girly shows with me.
