OUR MOTOR BLEW!!

Good morning, so we've had a very interesting start to the day. We were taking our Mercedes to the dealership because we had a weird car problem. Um, it still drove just fine, but every time you'd like let off of the gas it would just, it felt like it was grinding. So we weren't really sure what that was. We were driving it to the dealership right now to get it checked out and it felt like something blew. It's covered under the factory warranty still. Oh, thank goodness. He thinks he blew up the motor. So, it's parked. Can you guys see it? There it is. Just chillin' on the freeway. Just got back from my men appointment. Look how cute they are. I miss them being long and luscious. Um, so I don't think I've talked about it, but I lightened my hair. So I'm sure you can tell. Um, but this is stage one. On Saturday, I'm going to finish it off. Um, I'm really just going to have like a, it'll be pretty blonde at the bottom, but just like an ombre, blondish, brownish look for the fall. And I'll probably keep rocking my hair short. This is my real hair. I wear extensions all the time. I just put clip-ins in. But, yeah. Thought I should just do a little update. Since I haven't explained why my hair is kind of a little bit orange right now. It's not going to be like that for a few more days. That's it. Raiden, did you miss me? Raiden! Raiden! You're a wild child. Come on. You guys, I'm so depressed right now because my Mercedes motor blew up. And I've like gotten my regular oil changes. Like, I've made sure I've done everything for that car. I did a few of them. I took a few of them in. But, yeah. I'm like bummed out that it actually blew up. Like, it was the scariest thing. I like hit the gas. And I'm taking it to the dealership to get it fixed because it had issues. I hit the gas to get on the freeway. And it was like... Was that accurate? Maybe. Raiden? Raiden! Put it in. There he goes. There he goes. This is our gate to Narnia. You look so majestic on that porch. I can't find my like original OG hat, you know? Like my original one. Your original OG hat? I can only... I can't like sit normal either. Like, hey! Because of your belly? But, yeah. This hat is like so big. It's just like... That one's mine. Oh, this is yours. That's why. Ashley makes fun of me. She says I look like Indiana Jones. Raiden! Let's drop the freaking pumpkin dog. Look at him. Oh, the massacres. You guys, this was a normal haystack. Like a normal human one. Raiden demolished it. You realize like how hard it's going to be to get that hay out of that bark. Oh, yeah. We'll never get it out. We'll just have to get new bark. Look at the hay on his face. Raiden! Yeah, I wonder where your face has been. I smell poop. It smells like a dumpy. But, have we shown them this yet? Oh, I don't know. So, on Sunday... Yeah, you film me carrying it in. Oh, yeah. Oh, look how much fun they look like they're having in there. They are having so much fun. Okay, go ahead. Sunday, we are going to have my family over for dinner. We do like an annual Halloween Sunday family night, food, treat... Day. Dinner. We always do it on like the first Sunday in October. So, we're going to do it outside. We're going to eat here, out here on the patio. It's going to be so sweet. I cleaned out the fireplace. Yeah, that's why we cleaned down here. Otherwise, we wouldn't have. There would still be pink carpet right here that I ripped out. Oh, look at that. Why did we not get rid of that? Like we've been living with nasty rolled up old carpet just everywhere and garbage. This is like our dumpster. Did you get an owie, sweetheart, today? Where's your owie? Show me. You got two owies, huh? Okay, guys. I haven't done the room reveal yet because these aren't done. I'm not going to lie. They're just not done. Okay. All right there. But this is... These frames are all going on the wall. And you might be thinking, what in the crap are you talking about? This many frames? There's actually a few more that I need to spray. Okay. But you'll see. You'll see the design when it's all done. Hopefully, tomorrow. For real this time. So, this morning, I had just pulled all of the glass out of the picture frame so that I could spray paint them. And Simon and Cohen happened to be playing right where I was getting the glass out. And he kicked the glass with his foot. And it just like paper cut it. I mean, it was obviously a glass cut, but it looked like a paper cut. Just like straight across two of the stones. And they were bleeding pretty bad, so. He's being pretty tough today, though. Just feel really bad. Oh, don't fall. It's lava. You can't touch the lava. Oh, you're safe. Oh, no. Yeah, you are a ninja. Holy crap. Okay. You are a ninja. Simon, go do that again. Did he just say he's a ninja? Yeah, he did. That's the proudest moment of his life. Thomas just said that's the proudest moment of his life if you didn't hear him. Okay, Simon, show me your ninja moves. Show me what you just did. Guys, look at him being a ninja. Okay. Come on. Whoa. Nana, watch this. Holy crap. Watch this. Guys, that's called parkour ninja status. Ninja status? Ninja status. Go get him. Wear that dog out. Wear him out. I know, dude. I need to do this six hours a day to wear him out. Well, that's a full-time job right there. Yeah. Raiden, you're a full-time job. You hear that? Dude, who's a full-time? I want to kick myself in the nuts. In the nuts. Get that thing off me. I don't have a shirt on. You still have a six-pack somehow. I have a one-puff roll. I like your puff roll. It's cushioning. There's a baby in there, huh? More cushion for the pushing. Look at that, guys. What? Where did that come from, huh? Hey, there's my shoes. You got a dicky-do. There's my shoes. Woo! You better put that in or I'll be so mad. I will. I'll put it in. That's going in. This is the longest he's ever paid attention to. True. Raiden, you're getting better at that, huh? And he actually knows what to do. He drops it. Go get him. Look how scared he is of that rake. Hey, wait. Whoa. That's funny, Simon. It's too hard for Simon to move. Why is he so afraid of it? He's trying to scare him. He's too fast, huh? Yeah. Wait a minute. Dunna. What is it? Baby chocolate. Oh, I love this one. Baby chocolate. Every time our boys eat a Kit Kat, they sing baby chocolate. Open it. Okay, let's go open it. So, I will show you. Here's our little Halloween family room. Pumpkin head Harvey. Keyhole. It's a bowl of candy. It's like me, Mom. What do you mean? I trick or treated you, didn't I? Yeah. But I think you got a treat, not a trick here. That's a real pumpkin, huh, Simon? Is it heavy? That one looks like the one that you wanted to pick out, huh? Maybe that's the flat one. Yeah, that's the flat one, huh? Baby chocolate. That's the song. They sing to their chocolate every time they eat it. You are so silly. It's a Kit Kat. Yep, it's a Kit Kat, huh? We love it. We love them. Are we eating on the kitchen floor? That's how Dad rolls, huh? What did I make you guys? Yeah. Breakfast for dinner. We love this stuff, huh? I know these are my kids because they dip their eggs in ketchup. Dip, dip, dip for everything, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is this good? Our kitchen's done? Just got this in the mail today. It's one of those letter boards that you can change out the letter. See, there's a bunch of little lettering here. I love these. So, if you guys would like me to do a giveaway with them, let me know. Because I think that would be a really good idea. I think these are really popular right now. And they're super cute and just a cute little accent to add in your house. I'll show you guys what it looks like when I get some letters on it. Okay, I thought maybe I should open the bubble wrap so you guys can see it a little bit better. But this is what it is. Just these cute little letter board. Thank you, letter folk. Because I'm really excited to use this. I thought I would just show you guys real quick before I end this. Just how many letters come in them. So, there's tons of letters, like the same letter. Over and over again, there's like two sheets of these. You definitely have plenty of letters to say whatever the heck you want to say on your board that day. So fun. So, I'm going to get to twisting these suckers off and putting them in this cute little bag. Yeah. Come sit on my lap. Look how dark it is. Me and Cohen are the only ones awake. We are holding down the fort for the two boys that are sleeping. You got Simon sleeping. And we got daddy sleeping. Oh, look. It's twitching. So, it's just me and Cohen. Watch. Let's see if this is still good. Did it get any of the mark? Oh, I did the kiss. Okay. Hold on. You're stuck. Where? On your hand? Did it work? I got your wrist. So, I was just thinking tonight while we were watching The Boys Pigs Out of the Polar Express. We like holidays. Okay. We watch a lot of Christmas movies. But just how different life is now, like a few years ago, we never were able to spend time as a family. And now, since neither of us have J-O-B-S. No jobs. Or, I mean, we don't have 9 to 5 jobs. We just get to hang out all day and work around our schedule. So, it's awesome. And I'm super grateful for it. It's awesome to be able to see the boys. I mean, all day, every day, be with them and have watched them grow up. And to be with your husband all day. I used to miss him like crazy. He used to work crazy hours, like 16 hour days. And now, we just are home together all day. So, I was just reminiscing tonight and just super grateful for that. But thank you guys so much for following along on our journey. And we love doing these. They're so fun to look back on. I know in years to come, I will be exceptionally grateful that we did these vlogs. So, thanks for following along. And we will see you tomorrow.
