We did all the usual Halloween festivities last week: pumpkin carving for Family Home Evening, costume party at school, and of course Trick or Treating. We had a lot of fun in our new neighborhood. Tess was dressed as a cheerleader and Miles was a firefighter. Tess literally ran from house to house with her two cute neighbor buddies, Jaxsen and Forrest. Miles toddled along with me for the first 10 or so houses, and then he was content to just ride along in the wagon, holding his pumpkin bucket on his lap. I don't even know if he realized there was candy in it!(on a tangent, Miles has become completely obsessed with "Signing Time." He would watch 4 or 5 hours a day if I'd let him. It's like his new binky or comfort object; if he falls down or gets hurt, he'll tearfully ask for "Sigh-nimuh." Anyway, in this picture he and Tess are showing the ASL sign for "scared.")
I like your blog! Cute photos! I think I have most of the Signing Time videos memorized. I check them out because my little girl is hard of hearing, so it is a great teacher for me, and also a lot of fun to watch.
"Kidisms" (things my kids say that I want to remember)
June 2019
I was chatting with Bryan and Miles, and Bryan happened to do the Dirty Harry line, "Go ahead, make my day." Miles was a little familiar with it, but not quite sure and he asked, "isn't that the cowboy...what's his name, Clive Eastman or something?"
April 2019
We were talking about the stupid name Heinz gave to their new fry sauce ("Mayochup"). I mentioned that I also saw "Mayocue" sauce in the store. Clever Bree said they should sell "Mayoturd." Hahaha!
January 2019
I was helping Bree with her piano song; she is just starting to learn about key signatures, sharps, and flats. She pointed to the sharp sign and wondered about the "hashtag."
Tonight we were chatting and Bryan joked about how he likes "livin' on the edge." Miles said, "Mom likes livin' on the edge too...as long as she has a good book." Haha, that boy knows his mama!
December 2018
We got some Ghirardelli chocolates for a gift and Tess wanted some, but she had a little bout of dyslexia and asked for "ger-da-helli" chocolates. So now when we are bugged with each other, we just say "Ger-da-helli!" to each other.
November 2018
Bryan took the kids to the church to play ball, and Miles was running in the parking lot and tripped right over his feet and biffed it. He stood up, exasperated, and yelled, "I hate these GIGANTIC feet!" Poor guy!
August 2018
Bree was making a "potion" with her friends and proudly came to show me her creation. She said she made "hansitizer" (hand sanitizer) and when I asked the ingredients she said "water, dish soap, poppy seeds, and sriracha!" I'm not so sure that hansitizer would get hands very clean!
July 2018
Bree was packing a bag for a sleepover at G&G T's house and tried to shove a big stuffed animal into her small backpack. It wouldn't fit, and she pulled it out, saying, "Hmmm, she has constipation. She doesn't like being in small, tight spaces." I guess she mixed up claustrophobia with constipation, hahahaha!

Tess is a dang cute cheerleader. And Miles is a hansome fireman. Sounds like it was a great time.
