The kids had a great time! This is as close as Carson ever got to wearing his Thomas costume, but once he realized that if you knocked on people's doors they would give you candy. I love that revelation at this age, it's too funny! Except that when we took his tiny over-flowing bucket away to dump it in the stroller, he had a full-blown, two-year-old tantrum screaming at us to "give back canneeeey"!<br />The pics are in reverse order, but you get the idea :) Now on to Thanksgiving and Christmas projects.<br /><br />This is our "haul"! Insane amount of candy<br />Notice the abundance of Almond Joy; Christopher, for some reason, thought they were "Superman candy" and said they were his favorite... ug, you really can't argue with a 4 yo in front of the person offering them free candy. So whenever they let him choose, he would pick Almond Joy. Yuck. Clearly we need to coach them next year on the ones to pick!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9wVQYpMF1l8/TrKrod4irnI/AAAAAAAADSU/eDWhzl7yqRs/s1600/IMG_2280.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670783592517774962" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9wVQYpMF1l8/TrKrod4irnI/AAAAAAAADSU/eDWhzl7yqRs/s320/IMG_2280.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br />Carson in his raincoat, er, costume.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_eKfx1uwN-E/TrKroGJRQFI/AAAAAAAADSI/0bWW7NC7CH8/s1600/IMG_2272.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670783586145484882" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_eKfx1uwN-E/TrKroGJRQFI/AAAAAAAADSI/0bWW7NC7CH8/s320/IMG_2272.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br />Calista riding in her box-stroller<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FyOvnN2lUU8/TrKrnAP3fSI/AAAAAAAADR8/RmkJriNkqhI/s1600/IMG_2267.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670783567382674722" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FyOvnN2lUU8/TrKrnAP3fSI/AAAAAAAADR8/RmkJriNkqhI/s320/IMG_2267.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GKbXiAlTc9g/TrKrm0jNMSI/AAAAAAAADRw/Hcm5xmk57G8/s1600/IMG_2268.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670783564242563362" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GKbXiAlTc9g/TrKrm0jNMSI/AAAAAAAADRw/Hcm5xmk57G8/s320/IMG_2268.JPG" /></a><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div>Super Mario Bros to the rescue.

So just for fun, I wanted to compare pictures of the kids around 2-3 weeks. It may just be that they are all newborns and "all newborns look alike", but I really can't tell the difference and had to keep going back to see who is who!</div>

So today I will attempt to introduce bottles to Calista. I am really hopeful since my last two children never touched a bottle, though I would have to blame it on my lack of "doing". <br />
And as much as I have tried (which really isn't much), I have no idea why blogger keeps taking my pictures and orienting them any which way it pleases. I have tried to fix this and just don't have the time to waste on it anymore. I am sure that whoever thought that it would help people to "auto-flip" your pictures for you, but once again, the computer does not recognize how "I" actually want my pics. So sorry, I really did try to fix this, but couldn't, so you get to view the pics all *dilly-wampus*. Enjoy!<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PZqH-yxr7Rk/Tmd3yVRFV8I/AAAAAAAADI4/LxGr6K_Fi7Q/s1600/IMG_1769.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" nba="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PZqH-yxr7Rk/Tmd3yVRFV8I/AAAAAAAADI4/LxGr6K_Fi7Q/s320/IMG_1769.JPG" width="320" /></a>So Calista gave us two really good weeks of sleep, barely waking up, feeding and falling right back to sleep. Iknow the last thing you want to do is hear about me complain about lack of sleep, but now miss fussy pants feels like she can be awake and use me for her pacifier. I've tried all the tricks and two different styles of pacifiers and (sigh) i need more sleep than 3 broken hours for the third night in a row. Christopher never took a paci or bottle, but i don't remember having such a hard time getting him to settle back down. My other two boys I trained to take the pacifier. Ok, that's all the whining. I'll just try a couple of more styles and hope that something takes. I guess that's why there's so many kinds out there.</div>
Anyway, to catch you up on what we've been doing since she was born:<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Day 3: released from hospital</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Day 5: walked around Mt. Vernon</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Day 6: downtown to see White House and Memorials</div>
Day 7: downtown to see Museums<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Day 9 and 10: Kings Dominion Amusement Park</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Day 11: Memorial Day BBQ</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So maybe this hanging around the house is not exciting enough for her. Is she going to be a whirlwind, fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants (what does that actually mean?) kind of girl like her momma? We'll see! Anyway here are a few pictures of our adventures! Enjoy</div>

I have to blame Facebook for my lazyness. Take pic with phone, add caption, upload, you're done. Not to mention the time consuming effort it takes to upload pics from camera, upload to blogger and then come up with witty, entertaining things to say. So there you have it. Oh, and plus our laptop died (and has now been added to "things Colton gets to take apart"). In the midst of adding another Atchley to the family, I thought I better give you an update so I won't feel guilty that all of my blogs will be dedicated to pics of our new bundle. So much more has happened that I wanted to share, but here are some of the highlights, enjoy!
<br />
<br />April:
<br />Colton turned 9 and had a Sonic themed party at the bowling alley!
