Kathleen's Halloween
When asked how Kathleen would be dressing up for Halloween, I replied that she would be posing as a small girl, asleep in her bed. Here she is, ready for her big night. This costume is so popular, we'll probably be using it again next year.
Aw, you guys are missing out...we always have enjoyed at least visiting special neighbors or people in the ward, but not a full trick or treat...and it was BEAUTIFUL out last night!
We did ward trunk or treat...no real trick or treating, but today as we pulled into the church parking lot, Meg said "Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat?" So who knows how long she will be associated going to church with free candy? Maybe we should have just stayed home!!
We're a family of nine traveling the world one country at a time.
Brandon's a diplomat and the rest of us (Ashley, Kathleen, Sophia, Edwin and Joseph, Eleanor, William, and Elizabeth) are just keeping him company.
"Joseph, YOU commudist!" when Joseph called him a communist.
"Please immigrate," whenever he wants to spin.
"Hi, Sophia!" whenever he addresses Kathleen.
"He/she's screaming," whenever anyone cries.
"Thank you you're welcome," whenever anyone tells him 'you're welcome.'
Eleanor's Wisdom
"When I'm grown up, my mommy name will be Ashley."
"I'll be the marshrutka driver and you be the lady, Mommy. 'Get out of the freakin' road, lady!!!'"
"Jesus can give me a kiss on the iPad.... We need to get him out of there."
"Thank you, Daddy, for taking me to Canada!" while on a layover in Toronto.
"Go pee-pee on the rock, teddy bear. Good job!"
What Joseph Said
"Hey, look! I'm fishing for women!" while dangling a potholder from a string.
"A grandma is a mom who is really, really, really, really, really, really old" - to his grandmother.
"When I'm all alone I'm bored and have nothing to do except talk to strangers and hop in their cars."
"I need to drink my milk so that I don't get crickets."
"Fruit comes from trees. Pigs are made of bacon and ham." after Brandon tried to tell him that bacon grew on trees.
Edwin's Edicts
"If you bring a stegosaurus to a t-rex fight, your stegosaurus is gonna get eaten."
"When I was just a baby pumpkin my mama told me, son, always be a good baby pumpkin, don't ever play with toy guns. But I shot a green bean in Reno just to see it fall off the vine."
"I made a HU-NORMOUS plane the other day. It was as heavy as a baby kitten."
"I squashed that spider LIKE A BUG!!!"
"It's okay to flush bugs. Just not ones that are as big as the planet."
Sophia's Statements
"Why do Aztecs greet each other by touching noses?"
"Mom, why do hobo mothers chew up food and spit it in their babies' mouths???'
"Where DID I put that baby?!?" - while playing with Eleanor.
"Mom, there's a lot of dying in this!" while reading history.
"Mom, come see the coffin we made for Joseph!!!"
Kathleen's Truisms
"Mom, we just made a new musical with Eleanor as the star. It's called 'Baby Get Your Gun.'"
"When Ferdinand and Isabella got married, there was a Spanish baby supernova!"
"This is like shooting a gun... only safer," while putting library books in the return slot.
"Florida, Virginia, Tennessee... Georgia?!? That's not a state!" while looking at a US map
"Sophia, Max is French... you know, like french toast sticks."

You mean you didn't want to drag a 2 year old around late at night in the cold and dark to beg for candy? Spoilsport.
Great minds think alike - Nathan just had his second Halloween in that same costume.
Awww... poor Kathleen!
