Conversations

I made taco soup last week and when we sat down to eat the conversation went like this:

Max (after looking into the bowl I set in front of him with a not very excited look):
Can we have those other sandwiches with cheese in them?

Mom: You'll like it, it's taco soup and you love tacos! Just have a bite.

Max: But Mom, where are the tacos?

Mom: It is soup, which means you eat it from a bowl and the shell is not needed but it has lots of things in it that we put in a taco

Max: Oh, well I don't like it. I had this already when I was a little boy in Africa.

Happy Veteran's Day!

I've been reading deployment posts while the kids nap today (and even gagging a bit how much I missed him and openly wrote about it - so, sorry about that!) - and remembering Brig's time in the military... I just have so much appreciation for his service and the service of all the other men and women who have fought and continue to fight. It is no piece of cake and does come at a great sacrifice. A big thanks to our service men today!

He once wrote, "I'm just here to help out my guys and others around me, improve myself, and come home to you."

Grateful to say he did it all!

3 Months for Silas

We love our little Si Guy. He is so precious. He brings us so much joy and his gigantic smiles would melt anyone's heart. He endures daily maulings and handles being woke up from loud voices quite well. He gets chewed on and kissed plenty! (And as you'll notice, the sock matching has gone out the window with #3, along with the underwear folding too!)

Real Halloween Costumes

By the time Halloween rolled around, Peanut and Silas weren't loving their costumes anymore. They had already been wearing them... This is a picture from the Law School Halloween Party. Peanut was a Minion from Despicable Me, picked by Brig because she is little and fat and can't move her neck and laughs just like them. She was really funny. As for Max, he wore his Batman mask every day in October! And Max had begged Brig to be Robin, so being the good sport dad he is, he pulled it off (even if his cape was my black maternity skirt tied with a string!)

Halloween Night

Our friends had us over for dinner for Spaghetti and Eyeballs... thanks, Cherisse! It was awesome.

Pumpkinland

our 3 little pumpkins... we couldn't get Peanut to look up but she liked sticking her head through the hole!

Our Garden Pumpkins get Make-Overs

Family Night - Halloween Sugar Cookies

somewhere along the way, Peanut went potty and didn't get her pants back on!


Max was proud of his creation, he really liked the bat cookies and Peanut pouts in the background because she doesn't want to give them away, she wants to eat them all!
