Sugar High

We went to the All Saints Party tonight and the kids had a blast. Sugar's pumpkin won 2nd or 3rd place for her age group (don't remember which) and I won 2nd for mine. Sean and The Captain (Jessica's blog) won for their pumpkins.
The kids certainly had too much sugar. Some fun from the night...
Friend: Regina, I saw your baby over there and there is no mistaking it's one of yours.
Regina: The baby or Hammie?
Friend: The baby. I saw her in the stroller over there, by herself...
Regina: Oh, that's what gave it away.
Friend: Huh?
Regina: A baby by herself. That's gotta be one of mine. A baby, in the stroller, in a corner, by herself, definitely one of mine.

Car ride home, 10:00 PM

Sugar: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Boo starts singing along.

Singing has turned into shouting, just shy of a scream but still technically singing.

Both start accompanying themselves with the drums by banging on the car.

Hammie: No...No....No (screaming)

Boo: Let's pretend we are rock stars.

Sugar: Yeah. And we sing
Boo: And I am Saint Princess Julia

Sugar: And I'm Saint Princess Clotilde

Both back to their loud drumming Twinkles...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Same car ride

Boo: How I wonder what you are...

Sugar: That's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it

Boo: Uh huh uh huh

Both: ewww ewww ewww ewww eww eww eww eww ew

continue chorus adding drums

Hammie: POO POO

Mommie continues looking out windshield

Hammie: Mommy, poo poo (he often says this but only has to pee)

Mommie: Hold it buddy.

Hammie : Poo poo

background uh huh uh huh

Mommie: We are almost home, you just have to wait.

Hammie: Poo poo

Mommie turns back around to continue looking out windshield.

Chorus: That's the way, uh huh uh huh

Daddy: Let's go get pancakes (YES, our conversations really are this random)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Same car ride

Girls: Since you been gone. I can't breathe for the first time. I'm son of an on, yeah yeah. Thanks to you, now I can, I can what I want.

Hammie: ya ya

Daddy to Mommy: You know, with their memorization abilities we really should start teaching them, and by we I mean you...starts laughing.

Mommy: chuckles back then continues looking out the window ignoring the rest of this tidbit of conversation.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Same car ride

Girls are now singing/shouting the Star Spangled Banner providing their own cymbals

Daddy: Girls, ok. We are close to home it is time to start calming down.

Girls continue with their patriotism.
Daddy: GIRLS. We are about to pull into the drive way. It is time to calm down. I know you had fun tonight but we are home now, fun time is over.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It's amazing what a little ok, a lot of sugar will do. These kids are normally in bed between 7:30-8. It is now 11:15 and I can still hear Hammie talking in his crib.

Now, if I can only find where they hid their stash of candy...
