Don't you love innocence.....

So last night we were on our way home from my mom's ward carnival and we stopped to see Michael while he was on duty. Sometimes are stops are very brief depending on how busy he is but we got to chat for a minute. We usually talk about the calls he has been on, etc. But last night Anna chimed in. The conversation went as follows:

Dad, can I ask you a kestion? When you take people to jail, how long do they have to stay there? Well Anna, it depends. On what Daddy? Wellllll, umm how naughty they were. What kind of naughty things do they do to go to jail? We then got side tracked on Halloween candy and then we left. So one the way home we had this conversation...

Mom, is jail like timeout but for big people? I guess so Anna. So do they set a timer and when that beeps they get to get out? (Now at this point I am cracking up at the thought process she is putting into this). Well Anna, some people have to stay in there longer than others, it depends on what the Judge says. What is a judge? They decide how long they stay in jail. Ohhhh, they decide how long to set the microwave timer. Cool mom. Can I have a piece of candy when I get home?

That was the extent of the conversation. It was hilarious.

Carving Pumpkins

Last night we went over to Brooke and Chad's, had family night, ate dinner and carved pumpkins. The kids were interested for about two minutes and then we took over. We had tons of fun! Thanks for a great night!!

Gymnastic of the Stars

Enjoying the show

We were able to get some great tickets to see the gymnastics of the stars event. During the Olympics she LOVED watching the gymnastics and when we saw that the Olympic gymnasts were going to be here in Dallas we had to go. Michael and I took her out on a date. We had such a fun night together.

Preschool Days....

The girls wanted to see the cuffs but didn't know what to think once they were on. They all decided they never wanted to be handcuffed again.

Thanks to Occifer Michael for teaching stranger danger

Each of the Girls made their own Police vest, badge and hat

Today was my day to have preschool at our house. I lucked out and had to topic of Stranger Danger/Seat Belt Safety. With a little pleading, Michael came to the rescue and made a brief stop at the house to teach the girls (plus he looks handsome in his uniform). They were all excited to see a real police man, but boy were they quiet when he got there. They were all interested in his police gadgets on his belt and asked tons of questions. Thanks a bunch to him, the girls had a blast!

Pumpkin Patch...

You have to show your mean face when you are wearing such a manly shirt
Anna and Ally in all the pumpkins
He would rather ride

This is one of our family's favorite fall activites. We all end up going a couple of times.

Sleeping Babies.....

Anna kept feeling like she was going to throw up (funny it never happened). So I gave her a bucket. Silly girl just wanted to get out of her bed.
He loves his Ya Ya

The Prince and the Pea (I count 5 different blankets)

I think there is nothing better than sleeping babies. I am lucky because both of my kids are great sleepers and always have been. Blakey is a crazy sleeper though. We always laugh when we look at him at night. He always looks so uncomfortable.
