Taycee: "I am hungry" Kaden: "Don't worry Taycee mom is driving on the 3-way (freeway) that is the fastest road. The 2-way is a slow road but we are not driving on that so we will be home soon for lunch!"
---
We were eating dinner and Taycee said, "hey mom renember last morning when I drove to the dentist and got my new rubby tooth" I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about so I said "um no not really" to which she responded "yes you do, I growed big and you growed little and I put you in my car seat and drove us to the dentist so he could put my new rubby teeth on" as she said this she was rubbing her front two teeth. It must have been a dream, a very realistic dream, because she still comments every once in awhile about her rubby teeth.

We took Chris to the train station to get his car after we had picked him up in Salt Lake. When Taycee saw the car she said "OH! Those Lamenites stole our car and drove it to the train staion. I bet they got on the train and got away." We have been reading a lot about the Lamenites in the Book of Mormon right now. It is going to turn her world upside down when we get to the part where the Lamenites are the good guys. haha

When we got home Halloween night we were exhausted. Chris and I had both commented on how tired we were. We were laying on the floor in the living room and Kaden was eating a bag of skittles on the couch. Kaden said "whoever is the most tired..." he paused for just a second and Chris shot his hand up into the air thinking he was going to say something like "gets to go to bed." but then he said with all his enthusiasm "gets to rub my feet!" we laughed and laughed. I have no idea where that sentence came from but he totally got Chris.

We have a quiet book we take to church every week. It has a monster with a pouch that I usually put a small treat in for the kids. Today as we were walking into church Kaden said "I wonder what the candy monster has today" I told him that it was fast Sunday so the candy monster didn't have anything in his pouch today. After Sacrament meeting Kaden asked Chris what was next Chris told him he had to go to primary. Kaden said "no aren't we going home." Chris told him no and Kaden said "but it is FAST Sunday, not LONG Sunday."

I have been trying to be better at recognizing the kids when they do good things. One day Kaden had cleaned up the table without being asked. I gave him a treat and then heard Taycee running in from another room she said "mom I just stinked in a different room, can I have candy too?"
---
Kaden went to throw something away in my garbage and found a few pages of his old homework. He pulled them out of the garbage and marched into the kitchen waving them in the air. He said "MOM! I found these in the garbage, what were they doing there." I tried to explain that I can't keep all of his papers because he has so many but he wouldn't hear it. He said "No mom, when we take my papers out of my folders we put them in a special place, the garbage is NOT a special place."
Just a few of the funny snips out of my day!
