Trick-or-treating

I have never been a huge fan of Halloween-I don't really like candy (or I should say I don't really want to like candy) and I definately don't like to dress up in some ridiculous outfit to be cute or funny or whatever, but...Halloween is fun with little kids because I DO like to dress them up in ridiculous outfits

Ridiculous outfit #1

Ridiculous outfit #2

and I DO love to see them so happy and excited but I still don't like the candy bit. Anyways, Jon, Josh (dressed up as a Man U fan)

Ridiculous outfit #3

and I took the boys trick-or-treating around our little neighborhood. Clay and Eph were dressed up as geeks or nerds and Kai was dressed up as a lobster (he was so miserable in that costume-it was too small and the legs were stuck together in the tail so he couldn't really move around).

Incredibly cute but ridiculous outfit #4

Doesn't Kai look thrilled to be a crustacean?

The boys were so dang excited they were running to each door which was absolutely hilarious since they were both wearing pants WAY to small for them (all part of the costume).

Clay was a little tenative about the spooky houses especially ones with fake moving spiders. The boys were over it about 10-15 houses in so we didn't have to battle them to go home which was great. They ate some candy and after they went to sleep I gave Jon and Josh all of the candy except about 5 pieces for each boy. This morning when they looked at their candy buckets, they didn't even notice! Overall, we had a pretty great Halloween...maybe next year I won't be able to chuck the candy so easily.

This little lobster is all tuckered out!

On our way home.

After the boys were down Kai wanted to try their nerd glasses on...so cute!

Funny Things my Kids Say

Eph: When we both grow up and live next to eachother maybe when your mother (wife) leaves and my mother (wife) leaves I can sneak up and go to your house and we can play. Clay: Adults don't play and it's not your mom it's your wife.
Mom: Ouch, my foot is really hurting! Kai: You're still alive Momma.
Kai and I were going back and forth with the,"I love you to the moon, I love you to the sun, etc." I said, "I love you to Venus" and Kai responded, "I love you to the penis"...LOL!
Clay: Ephraim, why do you always copy me? Ephraim: Because I love ya.
Kai was playing with his train the other day and I overheard him saying, "You can do it Thomas" and of course I was thinking Thomas the kid's engine, and then I heard him say, " You can do it, Thomas Monson"...LOL!
Kai always sleeps in my bed. One day I asked him why he didn't like his bed and he said,"It's too fluffy."
Whenever asked any question from "What is your name?" to "What do you want to do today?", Kai always responds with "Quesadilla".
Kai spent a couple months calling everyone "boob-butt" (boob was taken from the recent Horton Hears a Who movie).
When Kai wants to be picked up he says, "Grab me".
All my boys sing the song Paradise City by Guns N' Roses...embarassing.
When you ask Kai his name he says "Coc-head"- he means coconut head.
In between Conference sessions they played the movie "The Other side of Heaven" and during the scene where the rats are chewing on his feet Kai yells, "Wake up Dude!"
Ephraim says' That's ridiculous!"
When I ask Kai anything he shakes his head violently and says, "No-no!"
Clay told me that he was making funny faces in his class and that the girls were laughing. I asked him if the boys laughed too; he said, "no, they got mad". He told me he likes girls better then boys because they're "pretty". Oh boy!
Clay had some food stuck in his throat and I told him to drink some water to wash it down. He said, "I think I need to use a screw to get it out"- OUCH!
I told Clay that if he ate all his veggies he would be big and strong like his daddy. He said, " Well, that's not strong enough".
Clay turned to me after a meal and said, "Thanks for making dinner Mom". Then he turned to Jon and said, "Thanks, Dad". Jon responded a bit surprised, "What for, I didn't do anything?" Clay replied, "For working". WOW!
Josh came over and was checking out our pear tree in the front yard and Clay put his face up real close to him and said, "Jesus made the pears, Uncle Josh." Josh said he felt like he was in church! HA HA
Clay was being a stinker and I told him to "please be more obedient Clayton Ryan" and he responded, "I'm not Clayton I'm Nephi" and my mom told him that Nephi would be obedient to his parents. So, after some thought he replied, "Oh, I'm not Nephi".
When they don't like a food the boys say its too "spicy".
When something is too hard for the boys to do they say its too "heavy".
My boys both say, "I don't want that ever ever again, so there!"
Clay informed me the other day that he also liked Momma's milk (like baby Kai). I told him that he drank cow's milk like Mommy and Daddy and after a moments thought he said "No, I just drink seahorse milk!"
