Tall Grass: Fall

Fall

I thought I'd get caught up on Fall, considering Winter and Christmas are fastly approaching. This is our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. We have been going to the same one since Kyler was little. So it makes sense in my head to drive 30 minutes away even though there are others just down the street.

It is pure torture for my kids to sit in one spot and let me take their pictures together. You would think 11 and 12 year olds would get over it, but they are actually the worst. Of course there is always the fight of who is not sitting by who and so and so is too close to them. Aaaahhhh... so much fun to do our annual tradition!

For some reason I didn't take very many or very good Halloween pictures this year. The kids were walking by so fast at the school parade, that the one picture I got of Katie and Jonas were totally blurry.

Jonas was a ninja... again. Katie was a pirate....again. Kyler didn't dress up and Sammy was a fat little bear. Ya... not too many pictures.

Kyler had his last football game of the season on Halloween. In... Tooele!!! The game was suppose to start at 3:00. Which meant they had to be there by 2:00, which meant they had to leave at 1:00. The game didn't actually get started until 3:30 and went into double overtime ON HALLOWEEN! Needless to say we had a late start this Halloween. But I did make some delicious chili. (I did not attend the last game of the season... because it was on Halloween) I guess all holidays can't be super great. That must mean Christmas is going to be fantastic.

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."

Jonas was singing the song "Down By the Bay", after he sang the part about a goose kissing a moose down by the bay he said, "Strange things happen down by the bay, huh mom."

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."
