Trick-or-Treat

Yesterday Evelyn had a Harvest Party at school.  The kids got to dress up in non-scary costumes.  Ev decided she wanted to go as a cheerleader.  So she did...pom poms and all.  When I pick her up she proceeds to tell me that Kyler wants to be her boyfriend b/c they're both 4.  Then she says not to tell Jacob b/c she doesn't want him to know.  Aren't boys supposed to have cooties?  She's too young for this! 

Last night was also trick-or-treat.  Jacob went as Iron Man, Evelyn was a fairy princess and Aiden was a mouse.  And Claire...well, she's too tiny for a costume.  She slept right through the whole thing.  Jacob and Evelyn had fun running up to the houses and getting the candy.  Aiden, however, didn't do much trick-or-treating...he didn't want to be carried up to the houses, nor did he want to hold anyone's hand.  He wanted to run wherever.  And in our neighborhod there is a mass amount of trick-or-treaters runnng all over like crazy people, not to mention it was dark out...so it wasn't really safe for him.  He stayed in the stroller most of the time.  All in all it was a pretty fun night.  The kids always love dressing up. 

Claire didn't have a costume so she wore her little ghost shirt

Our kids are doing so many funny things these days that I thought I would try this whole blogging thing to share some of the things they say and do that crack me up each day.  Like for instance today- after I picked Jacob up from school, we went out to Kroger to pick up some medicine for Matt.  Jacob asked, "are we picking the medicine up at the puh-harmacy (pharmacy)?"  Hey, atleast he was sounding it out.  And tonight for dessert I made peaches and cream parfaits.  Everyone had theirs in a glass, but I gave Aiden's to him in a bowl.  He kept sticking his whole face in the bowl.  It was hilarious!  It's moments like these that make me want to freeze our children in the stages that they're currently in, but then we wouldn't get to see the new and exciting things that await. 

I also hope to post some of my great deals I get with coupons too.  Not sure how often I'll get to update this since 4 kids keep me quite busy these days.
