fall melange

 Y Halloween party:  Jack Sparrow, Pippi Longstocking, Alfonso in black.

 Last year Cole refused to put his hand in the pumpkin. 

Asked about swimming lessons:  "I didn't like her [instructor] cuz she was a girl.  But she was nice.  Now don't talk about it anymore!"

Late one night when he should have been sleeping:  "Can I wash my hands?  Cuz I put my fingers in my butt. Cuz it sounded like sumptin' was in there."

Needed to tell us something "so important" after bedtime:  "Is Santa coming tonight?"



 Wacky Wednesday at school.  The first year Nolan actually participated!

 This girl has a lot going on.  Always!  

Evan describing someone to Avrie in the way of "he has less hair than me." -  Avrie:  "So, none?"

"Is God like a remote control?  You know, like (demonstrates a remote control,) and He makes you do stuff?"

Screaming at ear-splitting decibel tonight during a meltdown:  "YOU'RE A MEANIE!  I HATE YOU!  YOU ARE SO MEAN!"  And then Dad laughed in her face which took ear-splitting to a new level.  And then she groveled in fine fashion and everything was okay. 

The Beauty in the midst of the beasts.We had a candy noshing party by the glow of the pumpkins.  Asleep before the sugar hit their systems.  About a 24-hour delay for the Beauty.

Can you tell who is in charge of bedtime around here?
