Talking.....

So, lately the kids have been talking A LOT!!! They have started repeating everything that is said and it is so funny. Madison talks to her baby dolls all the time and I hear things being said to them that Dave and I have said to her. For example: "You need a nap" or "Do you need a spanking?"(LOL) She has also figured out how to put them in time-out. We have a little stool that is the "time-out stool" and she and Jackson both take turns putting the babies into time out. Too funny. They also have figured out how to manipulate a babysitter pretty well too. Yesterday, a friend of mine was keeping them for me while I was in a meeting and it was time for a nap. When they were told that it was time, the response was "two minutes please". Poor Melissa couldn't resist!! She gave them two more minutes and then tried again. This time, the response was "more minutes please". Melissa was smart this time and didn't give in. Oh how kids figure things out quickly!!

Candy Corn

The kids were candy corn for Halloween. They had so much fun! They really liked their costumes, but didn't want to keep them on their heads. We went to the church "Trunk-a-Treat" event and they sat in the back of the car and helped hand out candy. It was pretty funny. After that, we came home and handed out candy to the kids that came to our house. I think they had more fun saying "Trick or Treat" to the kids that came to the door than doing anything else.
