Halloween....and such

Since I'm averaging a blog about every two months right now, I thought I'd just throw out a couple cute stories and photos of our kiddos taken since Camdyn was born (along with our Halloween pics.)

Grayson entered his "why" phase early in the summer which has made for some pretty interesting conversations. We've also been realizing that 3 must be a lot like raising a teenager with the exception that he's still somewhat snugly and we can still put him over our knee and spank him. But, he recently learned the phrase, "It's not fair" (which we have no idea where he picked that up) and he's quick to grunt as he reluctantly walks off to follow whatever instructions we give him. And when I ask him about his day after pre-school, after answering a question or two, he is quick to say, "Okay, Mommy, I'm not going to answer any more questions." (3 going on 13....Lord help us!)

The other day we were at Chick-Fil-A and Brad said...

Brad: "Okay, buddy, I need you to eat two more chicken nuggets before you go play."

(Grayson then slams his head on the table in defeat)

Gray: "I have no choices!" (in the saddest, most pathetic voice you've ever heard)

Another day, I was changing Camdyn's diaper when Grayson said...

Gray: "I'm going to teach her to go potty on the big "boy" potty when she gets bigger."

Me: "That's a great idea buddy. Mommy would love for you to teach her that."

Gray: "I'm going to teach her to push her "tee tee" down so she doesn't spray."

Me: "Actually, buddy, she doesn't have a "tee tee" because she's a girl."

Gray: "She's going to grow a "tee tee" tomorrow???" (Oh my, I hope not)

Me: "No buddy, only boys have "tee tees." (Thankfully, that was the end of that conversation.)

And some cute pics of our kiddos....
