Bagels thoughts on Halloween decor.



Meet one of the triplets. Creepy I know. Yes he is huge, and he is one of three. Years ago, I found these three. And I bought them to decorate my new house. I fell in love with there big heads, and spooky eyes. I place two outside, on my mini flag holder. And one to scare you when you use my bathroom. (hung on a tack between the toilet and the sink)


But as Bagel and Spike get older, I fear them freaking out, and not liking my precious Halloween triplets. I thought I would get them out. Show Bagel and see what she thought of them...




As worried that I would have to make my poor triplets stay packed away for another year. She embraced them (literaly) and as soon as Spike was off to bed, she took full advantage of his saucer. I love my kids.

Happy Halloween Bagel!

Maternal Mirth said...

Those creep me out ... we've already covered that.

Dominique said...

Snot just flew out of my nose I laughed so hard. Only your kid.... Btw, I noticed your bleeding skulls in the bathroom, reminded me how my Aunt got every member of our family one at Christmas time last year(we're as odd as your family). I need to find it and put it out... but probably not in the bathroom.

Jenalyn said...

I think these things are cute with their big heads.

Hilarious, she cracks me up.

Yeah the triplets are in full force.

This Mom said...

Let just say the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Can you say Mini-me???

I think they are creepy.

Unknown said...

Haahaa! Too funny. I popped onover from SITS and wanted to send a congrats to you for being featured blogger.

Ritch in Love said...

That's so cute!

jewelstreet said...

Who wouldn't love the triplets?!

Kimmie said...

How creepy... leave that in the activity center when people come over and see what they say! Happy SITS day!

cat said...

Cool kid! Sometimes they really surprise us. Off course, in my little corner of the world we have no Halloween as you know it, no pumpkins, no harvest festivals. No really!

Mandy said...

I love the one in the exersaucer. :)

My First Kitchen said...

Yeeeeah, those are creepy. The odd proportions that drew you close are exactly what drive me away. I'll probably dream about big-headed skeleton babies coming after me tonight. :) Your kids sound really adorable. Congrats on being the featured blogger today! Have a fun SITS day!

Shanda said...

That's so funny, even if they do creep me out...just a little.

Anonymous said...

Awesome. The picture in the walker is the best!

Hippomanic Jen said...

Hi, just saying hello and enjoy your SITS day!

Creative Junkie said...

Ummm - they're a little creepy, but in a cute sort of way. Does that even make sense?

Heather said...

Creepy is what it's all about, right?

My youngest would love your triplets. He's into scary stuff (usually).

Congrats on your sauciness. Hope you have a commenterrific day (yep, that's a word, and if it wasn't, it is now).

Heather said...

ok, i must admit, my husband and i are not the biggest fans of halloween because of the scary decorations. we like nice looking things. :) but, i'm glad your daughter was ok with them since you love them so much!

happy SITS day!

Cristin said...

Happy SITS day!! Love the skeleton in the exersaucer... a little creepy yes...but wicked funny.

Mary Anna said...

How funny! My 3-year-old loves the Halloween decor - he's even named most of the stuff. He likes to hug the skeletons goodnight in the evening.

Mary Anna said...

Oh, happy SITS day!

Anonymous said...

That's just so awesome.

Kelly Deneen Raymond said...

LOL. Those are creepy and funny! Glad that your daughter took to them okay. :)

Brandy said...

I love them...although I would be a little freaked out to have them watch me pee.

Casey's trio said...

Congrats on your SITS feature! I'm not sure my triplets would take to your triplets too well...they are in their scaredy-cat phase right now!

Anna Lefler said...

That. Is. AWESOME.

XO

Lisa @ Boondock Ramblings said...

I'm creeped out by it actually, but I'm glad that you like it and so does your little one!

jori-o said...

Yeah, they are cute in a very freakish sort of way...love that you put one in your bathroom!

koopermom said...

I like those! They remind me of Nightmare Before Christmas! Glad you don't have to get rid of them!

TidyMom said...

Oh that is too funny, a little creepy, but funny! LOL

Happy SITS day!

Cassie said...

Ha! My youngest would probably drag that little skeleton around the house by his big head and love all over him!

Knocked Up in Bama said...

Lol...man, I love Halloween and the Triplets are frickin awesome! You gotta post a pic of them on the flag pole blowing in the breeze. :)

Girly Stuff said...

Skeleton bobble-heads...

I hope they enjoy the bouncer as much as my kids did! It really tuckers them out for the night!

Unknown said...

Happy SITS Day! A little creepy for my taste, but funny nonetheless! Kids are so cute when they find something they like! :)

Anonymous said...

Don't ya just love Halloween? Those 3 will be with you for many years to come I imagine. Cute blog!

S Club Mama said...

thinking those are kind of creepy but my mom would love to decorate with them!

nikkicrumpet said...

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree....but those things are pretty cute!

Jaden Paige said...

That is hilarious! My 1 year old daughter did much the same thing... My mom bought a creepy halloween skeleton whose eyes light up green and he makes that high-pitched halloween noise- I thought it was going to scare her, but she loved it! She kept asking us to turn it on... I guess you never know what they'll like :D

Jaina said...

Those are a little unusual, but I like them. I'm glad your kids do too. :)

Amarie said...

Yay! The Triplets get to stay! :-)

Cat@3KidsandUs said...

LOL Those are pretty funny. My poor daughter would be screaming bloody murder if she saw those in our house.

AFRo said...

Crack me up. I think we underestimate children and their acceptance of new things... even the scary ones. Good job mommy!

Stitchblade said...

Those things are cute and creepy all at the same time! Where did you find them?????

Laurel said...

That was hilarious. What makes me think that bagel is like Momma!

Michelle said...

Love the skeleton in the saucer. Very clever girl you have there! :)

Inspired Kara said...

HYSTERICAL!!!

Avery Tales said...

The triplets have the "only their mother could love them" look! Really, this post cracks me up!

Marrdy said...

They scare me but it has been said...like mother like daughter!

KiKi said...

Congrats on your royal sauciness! :-)

LOVE.The Triplets!!

Jacie said...

Happy SITs day! My kids would freak out if they saw those. We have to just stick to the happy looking cartoonish pumpkins and such. I don't mind though. I'm not really into the creepy stuff either. I'm a scaredy cat too.

La Pixie said...

Im not gonna lie. as a kid, those would have scared the poop outta me. youve got one brave lil Bagel!

Lisa@BlessedwithGrace said...

FUnny. Congrats on the Saucy blog feature. I think my 16 month old daughter would hug and play with the "scarey doll" as well.

Genevieve said...

jeepers, creepers...where'd ya get them eyes! yikes. :)

Nina said...

How funny! Obviously you had nothing to worry about.

Kimberlee said...

Oh I love it!! I could see my little 3 year old nephew doing that same thing!!! Ok so sadly I would probably have to dare him to do it but yep he would do it!!

EmmaP said...

ok - so I am totally loving this! I really think you should do a "spoof" blog, about you and your triplets - hahaha - and take several pics of the "triplets" doing normal every day kid stuff, like in a swing at the park, eating happy meals at mcdonalds, buckled in their car seats - hahaha! i can see it now! Love the saucer!

Karol said...

Those are awesome little guys! My 6 yr old would love them, 2 yr old yeah, not so much!

*happy SITS day!

Heather said...

That is too funny! Kids never cease to make me laugh with their creativeness. Going to read some more!

Andrea said...

That's hilarious!

Jenni said...

My four year old has this fascination/fear of creepy Halloween creatures. She insists on looking at them, then screams and runs away. It makes it fun to taunt her a little. . .which my husband never passes up.

ChezChani said...

One might look nice in a hoop skirt perhaps, or gauchos?

magpie said...

hahaha- gotta love it!!! like mother, like daughter, eh??

Teryn said...

What a crack up! Sounds like she's got quite the personality.

Lavender n Lattés said...

Cute and funny! Great post!

Anonymous said...

Umm WOW lol :)

Rhonda said...

Congrats on your SITS day!! Enjoy!

Cass said...

So funny! My kids would run the other way screaming! Happy SITS day! Enjoy!

AJ @ A Little Bit Nutty said...

My kids would love those. I actually saw some like that last week and thought of buying them for them as treats. lol

Michelle said...

Those are some weird looking guys :) What fun for Halloween... although that might be a bit of a surprise when using the powder room ;) I love the guy in the saucer. Too perfect!

Unknown said...

How nice that bagel actually likes it. It weirds me out. But good for her to have found a new friend! Happy
SITS day!

kimberly said...

yes, this looks familiar...and my girls would be fighting over the "baby" holding it with a blanket, trying to put a diaper on it and shoving a bottle between its teeth. funny!

~Trish~ said...

LOVE it!!!!!

Rhea said...

Totally freaky, but awesome Halloween fun! Love it! Glad your Bagel embraced the triplet fully. :o)

Natalia said...

Ha!!! Totally reminds me of my kiddo...she *loved* the Crypt Keeper (discovered by flipping channels and her spotting him) and would literally whine through whole Tales from the Crypt episodes as I pleaded with her to understand he only comes on a couple times during the show and I had not changed the channel. I went with it because the alternative was Barney. *shudder*

Susan said...

Too funny! My kids would be freaked out if I had those laying around.

Honey Mommy said...

Those are creepy!

I don't know if my boys would take to them or not!

For some reason I want to caption that last picture: Fed your baby lately?

Being Honest said...

So funny! My daughter is the same way...she's always loved the spooky stuff.

Jen said...

So funny! My girls would be terrified! LOL

Anonymous said...

The pic with the triplet in the saucer is fantastic! I wonder when fear of skeleton figures kicks in - my son is two and a half, and hasn't clued in yet.

Jennifer P. said...

Aaaah...they're like little Hollywood babies made to go on a diet :)!

Can I just say I LOVE your hair! (maybe I'll be so brave one day...), and I also love your music. We music player bloggers are a dying breed we are.....SOLIDARITY :)!

Have a fabulous SITS day!

Andie said...

Very cute Triplets! I would love to find something like that here! LOL Glad Bagel loves them.

Sandra said...

Oh my Gosh! how did you get your sonogram picture on your site!

Your hair is fab. I'm new... so excuse the falling over myself.

Congrats!

KatBouska said...

Ok so I'm actually NOT a fan of skeletons...but those are actually kind of cute. I don't WANT them per se...but for you...they're cute.

My kids would flee. All a bunch of wussies over here.

Mammatalk said...

Those creatures would not be welcome in my house. Too scary.

Melodie said...

They're cute and creepy all at the same time!

Lindsay said...

My aunt gave my daughter an antique, 3-month-old baby sized doll awhile ago. My husband would freak me out all the time by posing the thing in positions I'd find my daughter in (or be scared to find her in), and it got me every time. Even creepier was that it looked like our niece. A serious dead ringer.

I don't know how many times I'd find the doll trying to get my computer, going through the dog food, climbing up the blinds, sitting in the middle of the floor when the baby was supposed to be sleeping.

Blessings Abound said...

How spooky! My kids would be scared to death if I had those in the house, lol.

Laural Out Loud said...

I LOVE those skeletons! My daughter would've been all over them, too. She loves scary things.

Eve said...

Nothing like a skeleton in a saucer! What a great find - the triplets are so unique!

Sarah said...

Flipping hilarious! Happy SITS day!

Esther said...

Those are freaky. I can't work out if I like them or not...they're friendly but weird. We don't decorate for halloween over here but I don't think I'm the sort of person who would have skulls and ugly things around. I'd ge more into the pumpkins and cute signs.

Cute Kid!

Happy Featured Blogger Day!

Cheryl said...

I love them! Nice to meet you. I am over from SITS! Congrats!!! Stop by and say hi,

Melissa Lester said...

Uh, ma'am, I think you left your baby in the excersaucer too long.

sassy stephanie said...

O.M.gosh. If I ever have a Halloween party again, I am SO going to use the baby skeleton in the exersaucer. LUV it.

meg said...

My son walked by as I was reading this post & said "Either that's the most elaborate baby costume I've ever seen, or Gerber's isn't providing the nutrition it use to!"

Caitlin said...

Happy SITS to you! I love your blog! I think that these little guys are..well...cute and creepy. Odd combo, but there you go. It cracked me up to see him in the excersaucer- at first I thought that maybe you had put him there to scare your kids! HAHA! Not that sick though, eh?

Mary said...

What a fabulously adorable baby you have there! I bet the other mommies at the park bug you nonstop for playdates! :)

lynn said...

That would definately freak me out if I didn't know it was in the bathroom. I scare easily!

Happy SITS day!

Alison said...

That's soooo funny. I have no idea what my kids would do--I'm too lazy to have Halloween decor.

Aubrey said...

Oh! I love them! I would have fallen in love with them too.
I'm glad you didn't have to keep them away for another year!

Yay on being SITS feature blogger today!!

Hannah said...

HAha those are disgusting!!!!!



that [engaged] girl

Jen said...

I would have been freaked! So cool your kids reacted like that :)

(p.s. found you through SITS)

Dee said...

what doesn't scare them makes them stonger... man they are freaky! LOL

What A Card said...

Hee, hee, my kids are also very amused by scary Halloween decorations. And yet scared of Elmo. Perhaps they are smarter than I give them credit for :)

G. said...

that's so funny! I didn't get a chance to comment yesterday so, I'm backtracking today!

Amy said...

Happy SITS to you one day late. I love the skeletons but I am not a Halloween person. Cute photo op :D

Bebe said...

Happy Belated SITS day!
Oooooh those little guys are creepy!
Hugs, Bebe :)

Live.Love.Eat said...

Congrats on being featured yesterday! LOVE the name of your blog.....

Unknown said...

Hehe you are my kind of blogger- too funny. ;)

Bramblemoon Farm said...

BAAHAHAAHAHHA My daughter is 8, but she's always taken the Halloween stuff and played with it WITH her Barbies. Barbie will have bat and skull friends during October:)

mrsmouthy said...

Maybe try dressing it in one of those blue sparkly Cinderella dress. Then it would be beautiful and definitely not creepy in any way. :)

Ronnica said...

Creepy! The skeleton we had as a kid was one of the paper ones with movable parts. We loved putting him in strange positions.
