One of the joys of having children spaced so far apart is that I get to experience two different stages at the same time. Halloween was a blast with the babies! We had soo much fun. Emma only made it to a few houses, but Jake and his BFF Bradley went on and on and on! The tricky part is keeping all the chocolate and sugar at a moderate level each day!  |
| One of my favorite Halloween Activities - we make rice crispies with Peanut Butter & orange food coloring; form them into Balls, stick a green apple licorice stick in the stop and paint a face on the front with black icing. Rice Crispie Pumpkins! My kids have been doing this forever! |

| This one looks like Squid Works from 'Spongebob" :) |
 |
| Jake was Optimus Crime for Halloween - yes, I said "Crime" - he can't pronounce his "P's" ;) |
 |
| The cutest little witch ever! |
We're also trying to potty train Jake and I just don't remember any of my other children being this difficult. He just refuses to use the toilet. I've tried everything! Any suggestions???
Kameron, on the other hand, went trick or treating this year without really dressing up. Yes, he was one of those annoying teenagers who is obviously just out to get candy and not really doing it for the "spirit" of Halloween (no pun intended).
Speaking of Kameron, currently, he is on his way to the Walnut Creek Kaiser Hospital to donate his Wii Game Console to the Pediatric Ward. It seems that Netflix has made it so easy to stream movies using either our Wii or our PS3, that we caught Kameron watching a few inappropriate movies in his room. Needless to say, this was a lesson we felt needed to be learned. So the Wii is going bye bye, but rather than just throwing it out or taking it away, he get's to physically walk it into the hospital and give it to some kids who are little worse off than he. We're hoping he get's something out of it.
