Wainscott Family Photos

Do you know what you call those who use towels and never wash them, eat meals and never do the dishes, sit in rooms they never clean, and are entertained till they drop? If you have just answered, "A house guest," you're wrong because I have just described my kids. ~Erma Bombeck

Scooby Doo - SCARES ME!!!

Friday I let the kiddos go to Blockbuster and pick out movies to watch...Chase just HAD to get a Scooby Doo movie...

Soooo this is how he watches the Scooby Doo movie because it totally scares him to death...scares me too really...it is about Ghost Pirates - YIKES...(totally not by best mommy moment by any means...I have it hidden now, boxed and ready to return to Blockbuster!!)

He watched it several times each time hiding and saying "ooohhh this Dooby Doo mobie is SCARY" and each time I said, "Why don't we watch something else or go play upstairs...," "No fanks Mommy, I just hide while I watch it..."

I am soooo waiting for the Ghost Pirate nightmares to hit tonight - ahhhhhhhhhhh



This is him watching the parts with the actual Scooby Doo characters...happy boy...



OH NO - HERE COME THE GHOST PIRATES!!!

PS...In case you were wondering, Chase informed me today that my car was totally not as fun as Dooby Doo's MYSTERY MACHINE!! Darn it!!!!
