Happy Halloween!

The last several weeks in about 5 sentences...

Happy Halloween! Trying to explain the holiday is interesting. Why do we dress up, ring peoples doorbells, and ask for candy? I just don't know. But they caught on really quick and loved it. And now we have three children who don't like candy. Go figure. But I wonder where all the Reese's went...

Next, Jack's children's choir sang in church. Here's a snapshot from that.

Also, Ben's choir sang this past week. I haven't loaded up the pictures yet, but here's the link if you want to watch it. It's about 2 minutes right at the beginning. He did so great!!!

Random thoughts and I guess this post was more than 5 sentences...All 3 boys learned about Pilgrims and Indians this week. That only fueled rough play time. We just had to pray their Pilgrim hats and Indian feathers didn't get smashed. Eli's English has taken off this week. Watching kids learn a language is fascinating. They pick it up so quickly, and then plateau. Then spout off 50 new words and sentence structure falls into place, and then plateau. Anyway, he's doing great. Indoor play time, since it's been cooler and rainy, has gone well so far. The little boys can be entertained pretty easily, like with a balloon. A single balloon can bring at least an hour of fun. We've been explaining a lot of holidays lately. Those are some interesting conversations. Here are some examples: 1.) Why do Santa come in da fireplace? He so scary. 2.) If Christmas is Jesus' birthday, why do presents give to us? (Why do we give presents if it's His birthday?) 3.) I not like turkey. I want hamburger. 4.) I want Christmas tree for my birday (birthday). It so pretty.

I promise the next post will be slightly more interesting. As much as I want to remember the BIG milestones, the little ones can be just as important and funny! :)
