It has been an exhausting few weeks, but I am trying to get into the spirit of things and get over my grumpiness, trying REALLY hard. Last weekend I finally decided we could make our traditional Halloween sugar cookies. It was quite the process.... with three helpers you never know what you'll get. We used the same pumpkin cookie cutter and came out with at least 8 different shaped/sized pumpkins! Talent, I tell ya:
EVERYONE got to frost....
Brayden was very serious about his job and he was in charge of the sprinkles. I have to say he did a very good job compared to where we started a few years ago.... however, the girls are still in training.
I'm not really sure how many each child ate, between baking, frosting and sitting down to actually eat one, but no one threw up from too much sugar, so I consider that a success!
While I was at my outdoor soccer game on Sunday the boys built this impressive Geotrax track while the girls napped. When I came home I was so shocked, it was really quite cool!
I have to make it clear that Kent and B each have their own train. No sharing b/n the two. I had to capture this pic. of Kent. He sat on the couch (after all the work was done) and enjoyed his soda and controlled his remote control train around the track. Whenever he wanted to change it up he had Brayden push the switch on the track. I tell ya, the guy knows how to play! :)Brayden's words:
This last week B has come up with some pretty funny thoughts. I need to write them down before they escape me. Grandma Phillips came over on Wed. night to help ease my craziness since Kent was out of town. I decided that we should get out of the house and have a Costco hot dog dinner and do some shopping. As we were loading into the ol' mini van, I said, "EEWW our van stinks, what is that smell?"
G-ma: "Yeah, it smells like dirty underwear."
Ellie: "My Daddy wears underwear, do you wear underwear?'
G-ma: "Why yes I do...."
Ellie: "No, YOU no wear underwear, Brayden wears underwear."
Me: I knew where she was going with this so I tried to prompt her, "What do girls wear?
Brayden: "BA-GINAS! (vaginas).
Sandy and I trying to stifle our giggles....Me: "I was thinking panties, but yes, girls have vaginas....
Brayden: "Boys have penises!"
I'm so glad we got that all cleared up.
Today I was folding clothes on my bed and I had the clock radio on.
Brayden: "Where's that music coming from?"
Me: "Dad's clock radio."
Bradyen: "Does Dad listen to that music to lull him to sleep?"
Seriously who says that?
