- I got this mask. - Ooh.
- Light up, uh-oh.
- [Stephen] Is it not lighting up?
Oh no, dad.
- No, no, it was lighting up earlier!
- [Dad] Did she take your candy?
- Did you get that out of the freezer?
I've been saving those for after the kids go to bed,
I need my twix.
(chattering)
Good morning SOTY family,
and good morning to the eight or ten men
outside my window right now working on our pool.
Guys, I am really, really regretting
not getting blinds on my windows sooner.
They're literally right outside my window.
(upbeat music)
Electric blinds, electric blinds.
(upbeat music)
Guys, it's needed.
♪ City lights are makin' me wanna be ♪
♪ Something else that I'm meant to ♪
♪ Spendin' time reminiscin' of what used to be ♪
♪ Not letting go when I want to ♪
- However they choose to get their energy out
is good for me.
Keep going, guys, keep going!
- I have so much energy!
- So Jamie's been a little bit on edge today,
she woke up and there were people in our backyard.
Of course they were supposed to be there,
they were there to fix the pool
but I forgot to tell her about it
so I think it made her a little bit nervous
but, pool's getting finished, that's gonna be awesome
but what I'm thinking is, with Jamie a little on edge,
it might be the perfect time to pull
a little Halloween prank on her.
(upbeat music)
- Guys, all I have to say is that
you know you have reached true motherhood
when you can clean one handed while
holding a child watching Netflix.
- [Character] One, two, buckle my shoe.
- She's seriously totally attached to me.
- So I'm thinking something scary
has to happen outside that window where
she saw people this morning.
Maybe I have something fall down at night
or somebody has to pop out and scare her.
Let's see what I can find here.
I'm not sure the chicken head is gonna be scary enough.
Hopefully they have a Halloween section.
It's getting close to Halloween, at least.
I gotta find something.
(energetic music)
Hot dog man is terrifying but not scary enough.
That's a little too creepy for me, but look at this.
This creepy mask will glow in the dark
so if I'm outside the window at night
it will be like flashing in her face,
that'll be petrifying, but not over the line.
I like it, I'm gonna put that on
and I gotta get a black outfit.
Time to scare my wife.
Hooded cape,
creepy mask,
this might be a really good prank.
I'm not an expert pranker but I think I can do it.
All right so now that I've got the mask and the cape
it's gonna be perfect for hiding outside
or maybe I'll have my teenager do it.
Stephen's probably better at that than I am
sneaking around, then I can set Jamie up
and be inside to catch the whole reaction.
I think that might be the better option.
Either way, I'm for sure gonna need the kids' help,
I gotta let them in on the prank
and make sure they don't tell mom.
Some of them like to talk.
Parker.
- I am totally getting the mother of the year award
right now because I am late to Taylor's game.
Like 12 minutes late guys.
Shh, don't tell her.

- She did good, guys, like really good.
- All right so we're taking a quick Blake
(laughs) quick Blake?
Blake, you got me, you got in my mind.
A quick break from my plans
which I haven't told the kids about yet
but either way they're gonna be awesome
and we're gonna watch Stephen's football game.
Mom's at Taylor's soccer game,
I got the rest of the kids here
they're running off to the park,
and I'm gonna watch the game.
(bouncy music)
Stephen's team is struggling little bit.
He's playing good and playing hard,
I think they can make a comeback, let's see what happens.
But first I'm gonna go check on the girls,
see what they're doing at the playground.
We found Parker, whoa!
Blake, what are you doing?
She's trying to go up the slide
Parker's going down the slide, and Payton's climbing around.
Guys, Stephen is struggling, but the girls are having fun.
(upbeat electronic music)
Well, you can't win 'em all, so that's too bad,
but let's go pull that prank on mom
I think we can win that one.
So Stephen,
what was the final score?
- What was the final score?
- 28 to?
- 54.
- Zero.
It's all right, we all get beat sometimes.
It's what you do after you get beat that matters,
but Stephen, I have something fun that we're gonna do.
- Hmm?
- You down to help me prank mom?
- Oh yeah.
- I got a couple really good ideas
I wanna run by you, and I think you'll be the perfect
prankster for it.
- Shh.
Hey girls, get downstairs right now!
- What did you say?
- I was trying to scare them
and uh, they had headphones on.
Gosh, didn't work at all.
- That creeped me out.
- Boo!
Really?
Guys, sad to say that I think I'm losing my touch.
I'm not scaring anyone anymore in this family.

- I'm pretty sure that is not what
the theater's meant for, but I love it!
I think you just lost your theater round.
- Nooo!
(girls exclaiming)
- All right it's finally dark out
I've been waiting all day for this,
and mom is getting the girls showered
and ready for the day.
Stephen just went riding his bike, thinks he's cool.
- [Stephen] Okay.
- [Dad] All right.
- [Stephem] What we got?
- You ready for the prank?
Let me show you what it is.
I got this mask.
- [Stephen] Ooh.
- Light up.
Uh-oh.
- [Stephen] Is it not lighting up?
Oh no, dad.
- No, no, it was lighting up earlier!
I'm gonna have to play with it and see what's wrong.
All right so I think I need to get batteries for this thing.
(whooshing)
I probably left it on in the trunk of the car
and now it's dead so not all pranks go smoothly, guys.
I'm gonna run as fast as I can to the store,
mom is giving the girls a bath
so I have a few minutes I think.
Come back, get Stephen decked out and prank time.
(creaking)
All right.
She didn't see me.
(door creaks)
I'm just gonna put this stuff out here
for Stephen to put on in the dark.
I gotta figure out how to get Jamie in front of that window
and Stephen scare her.
Fingers crossed I can pull this prank off.
All right now I gotta find Stephen.
I can use him for this part.
- Dad!
- Jeez Louise, you're not supposed to scare me.
Come here, come here.
Do you want in on a prank against mom?
- Yeah.
- All right, I need all the help I can get.
I have to use you to figure out how you can get mom
close to the window upstairs so we can scare her.
You think about that, I'm gonna get Stephen in position.
- Okay.
- Let's do it.
Stephen what are you doing?
We gotta get ready for the prank, come on!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Have you figured out how to get mom up there?
- I think so.
- [Dad] What are we gonna do?
- Well I know how to open this.
- [Dad] Open, what in the world?
You know how to get in the secret box?
- You put it there so that we can't get it.
- Ugh, they know how to get into my candy.
Oh.
- Which one would mom like the most?
- [Dad] Mom's favorite's Twix.
You're gonna lure her out of the room with candy?
- Yes.
- She's currently laying on the bed
with Parker and Blake?
- Yeah, watching.
- Watching baby shark.
♪ Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo ♪
- Please don't sing that.
Aww, look at these three having the time of their lives.
- It's late.
- I feel like I haven't seen you
hardly at all today.
- I'm tired, I know.
That's life with six kids and places to go
at all times of the day, it's been crazy.
- Mom, I found Twix!
- Those are mine.
- No.
- Did you get that out of the freezer?
Taylor!
- [Dad] Did she take your candy?
- Did you get that out of the freezer?
I've been saving those for after the kids go to bed
I need my Twix!
What in the world?
(chattering)
(bangs)
(screams)
What is this?
(laughing)
What in the world?
What is this?
- [Dad] We team pranked you!
- We pranked you, mom!
(cackles)
- [Dad] That's actually terrifying.
- This is gonna be perfect for Halloween.
He's gonna stand out by our door and scare everyone.
- [Dad] Bah, I can't even scare him.
- Boo!
- I think we got mom.
- And I got my Twix back.
- Wait a minute.
- All right guys, so seriously I have been trying
to scare the kids all day long
- You were trying to scare the kids?
- I have, like, kinda like startle them,
and it hasn't been working at all, like I failed miserably.
- I'm not a good prankster so I was really happy
that I at least got a startle out of you.
- Well, I didn't know that you had that planned
so I guess I got what's comin' for me.
Well guys, it's time to go to bed and put these kids to bed
so we're going to be ending our vlog.
So make sure you subscribe to our channel
