Boys Will Be Boys
OK. My children have embarrassed me before (like S yelling, every time we go in Target, "Mommy! Did you toot!?"), but this one is definitely towards the top of the list. When I picked S up from Sunday School last Sunday, one of his teachers informed me that he got in trouble for spanking the other teacher. Yes, he SPANKED HIS TEACHER!!!! Any reason it couldn't have been another kid? Not that he should be spanking anyone. To make matters worse, he refused to apologize! So he got to sit in timeout for TEN MINUTES until he decided to apologize. Can we say stubborn!? He has way too much of his daddy in him :)
Now, I realize that you are all probably finding this quite humorous, and I'm sure, once we change churches, that I will, too. How do their little boy brains come up with these ideas? He thought it was very funny when we asked him about it -- and it didn't help that E busted out laughing, too! I think that might be the source of many of his ideas, despite the fact that those two are like oil and water. If you think of a good idea but don't want to get in trouble, get little brother to do it. I wouldn't know anything about that, personally, though. I also have a feeling that as they get older, the ideas won't go away. They will just become more creative. I think I should be very afraid!

WAY too much candy!!
D got a little carried away with the kids and their pumpkin carving. They had a blast, however, and it did turn out very cool! Nothin' like encouraging the violent tendencies of your children!
It did not snow this year on Halloween, but it was quite cold (low 40's), so Spiderman, Minnie Mouse, and the Dolphin bundled up when they headed out to trick or treat. I kept running into friends while we were out. I stopped and chatted and then had to run to catch up with the fam again. I consider that my extra exercise for all the candy that I will no doubt eat!
When we returned and the kids emptied their bags, we realized that we had WAY too much candy!! The doorbell started ringing again so I just grabbed handfuls of the candy we got and gave it to other kids. Hey, I have no self-control when it comes to chocolate!
By the way, have you ever seen a dolphin play the piano? It's quite cute!!
