Halloween 08'

This year we had a hectic but fun Halloween. We went to my sister's for her annual pumpkin carving party. Katie won a prize. She was sooo excited to win. Grandma also won a prize, I think she was more excited than Katie. Halloween was a little stressful. Getting all the kids up and ready in their costumes by 8:00 and sitting at the school waiting for over an hour for the parade to start. Luckily Grandma watched Sam, I'm pretty sure there would have been a major melt down if he would've attended. Meanwhile I'm thinking about all the things I need to get done at home before the night starts. After the parade I watched Katie's 4th grade performance. It was pretty cute. I finally got home around 10:45 and started a huge pot of chili. It was delicious if I must say so myself. Later on the kids' cousins came over to go trick or treating. I don't know how many of them actually ate dinner. They were so excited to go trick or treating they couldn't think about anything else. (Candy for dinner is way better than chili.) Finally, off they went, and I stayed home and passed out candy to all the cute kiddies. They all came home with tons of candy, and stayed up late eating candy and watching scary movies. Fun times and fun traditions!

Only one lame incident of the night... one of my neigbors that shall remain nameless but his name rhymes with "Lady Bensen" came over and demanded my car keys so he could take my car somewhere. UUUHHH NO! Then he said he wanted to talk to my mom so he could take her car. UUUHHH NO Dumb Ass! Then he left all pissed off and put out. Whatever! You know what Napolean.... You can leave.

Last night Myke was laying down by Sammy. He likes to distract you while he's suppose to be going to sleep. As he was laying down he looked at Myke and started reciting every word he knows. Uh-oh, no-no, here you go, thank you, up, binky, blankie, night-night. He thought he was sooo funny.

The other day I was in the other room and I hear my kids talking. By the way they aren't even suppose to be eating downstairs.
Kyler: Just bring me down a plate, so I can put crackers on it for Sammy.
Katie: O.k, Maybe we should just bring the high chair downstairs.
Kyler: Oh yeah, just bring the high chair downstairs
Katie: O.k
Mom: Noooo!!! Do not take the high chair downstairs
Katie: Mom said No
Kyler : Oh
Sometimes I wonder... seriously wonder

Jonas colored two identical pictures of Santa Claus. I showed them to Katie, wondering if he might have accidentally taken one of the other kids' at school. She said,"They aren't the same mom, Santa's standing on his head in one of them". I looked at it and I was holding one upside down. Okay Katie?!

Sometimes the kids bring woodchips home in their shoes from the school playground. There happened to be one by the front door. Sammy was scootin' fast towards it, with a look of serious intent on his face. Katie picked it up and then it was gone. I told her to throw it outside and she just looked at me. I said, "Where did you put it?" She looked caught and said,"I threw it down the heater vent."

Jonas said,"I want a webkins for my birthday." Myke said," Do you know what I want for my birthday?" Jonas thought about it for a second and said,"me to be quiet."

I got braces about a month ago and they are very painful and irritating. Kyler still has his braces on too. Today they put a power chain on my teeth which really hurts. So, I was talking to Kyler in the car and I said,"braces are the most annoying thing in the world, don't you think?" Kyler said, "no, they're not that bad." And I said,"what could possibly be more annoying?" He just looked at me and said," You....complaining about your braces."

Katie was telling me how she liked one of her friend' s outfits, and that she wanted an outfit like that. Her other friend said,"Oh now you like her clothes, you wanted to wear clothes like mine last week." Katie said, "That was one day, (kid's name). And her friend said,"nu huh you did it yesterday too, we had the same shoes on." Katie looked at her and said, "Yeah, that was just an accident".

While I was brushing Katie's hair before bed, Jonas came in to inform us that the Oympics start in three days Katie says excitedly,"That's so cool Jonas, are you going to be in it."

On Sunday we all went to The Gateway with the Walkoviak's. When we were walking back to our car in the parking garage Jonas said,"Mom, wait for me, I'm too young to die."
