Wyatt said this about twenty time is the car tonight. Obviously the quiet game doesn't last very long in our car.
We just got home from the ward Trunk or Treat. The entire eight minutes after we stepped in the door, Talia had us all laughing. Lincoln told them to take their costumes off, and put pjs on. They both started stuttering and scrambling, "but, Mom...Mom said....we could have...Mom said...one piece of candy." (They already had a ton, I am not that mean.)
We let them dump their candy on the floor to see all of its glory.
Talia started to open a box. I noticed it was HOT TAMALES, and motioned for Lincoln to watch her. Both of us were laughing as she took a bite, after I told her it wasn't a good choice. Lincoln was handed a half chewed piece of candy. She started to unwrap her second choice, and I began to pick up her pile of candy. She wasn't happy about that, and franticly started gathering arm fulls of sweets at her feet. Then she sat on them, and fluffed her dress so not a single piece would be seen. I said, "Talia, your pencil is right behind you. Get it before it rolls under the stove." She wouldn't budge! She knew exactly what I was trying to do.
Then it was up to bed. It is hard to put a sugar wired three yr old to bed.
(Natalia was dressed as Cinderella, and Wyatt was a knight. They looked wonderful.)
This weekend was supposed to be my family photo day. I had to cancel because it has been raining here for two days straight. Today actually turned out to be a nice day, but it was still so soggy. Speaking of rain, Wyatt went to a pumpkin patch with his class on Friday. In my gut I thought they would cancel the trip. Rain filled the entire forecast. He was wearing an undershirt, and a long sleeve t-shirt, and then I put him in a windbreaker. I should have put him in a winter coat! Poor boy was freezing. He did have a good time though. They found his Transformers lunch box this week. It was in the lost and found. (Did they check there before?) I jokingly asked him if there was a moldy sandwich inside as I opened it. There was a moldy sandwich inside! SICK! It was over a month old. Thank goodness for ziplocks!
Today, we went to the gym, to Mimi's Cafe for lunch, then Wyatt had a birthday party, and then we went to the church. It was such a busy day, and I can't believe it is over.

I love the candy stories. The costumes sound so cute! It's fun to hear about your busy day! BTW: Where did you get that foam machine?
Moldy sandwich...GROSS! Sooo funny! Im glad to know you have busy days too...=) but FUN days!!!! A shut down is something that the "chevron oil refinary" does once a year in October to clean out the BIG machinary and do major repairs blah blah blah, its a really big deal i guess and you can choose to work it if you want, its 30 days straight, 13 hour days---they buy your food all those days tho and you get special "pay" for those days, which is WONDERFUL...but as im going through the month i dunno if it is all that wonderful...i have no husband =( its to the point that I cry everyday..lol, im pregnent and hormonal and i miss him and TIRED...im sure you can relate! But it is paying for us to go to disneyland in Feb....so i guess in a way its worth something...lol
im sure counting down the days!
I wanna see pics of your kids in their costumes!!!
I love that Talia sat on her candy like a mother hen protecting her eggs. Too funny. They did look like a cute little knight and priness Cinderella at the party.
I hear you on the busy day! Sorry your picture day got canceled. Mostly, I'm sorry for me. But oh well. I'll be 2 weeks fatter when we take them.
That is really gross about the moldy sandwich. Gross. But funny.
Your kids looked so adorable at the party - I loved Wyatt's shirt! The imagery of Talia sitting on all her candy was hilarious!!

I love the hot tamales story. I could picture the whole thing. I hope yesterday's family photo day went well. The weather finally got nice for you. The next time you do that I want to be your lovely assistant so I can learn from the master.
