Have you ever seen the show "Kids Say the Darndest Things"? I think Bill Cosby was the host and he would as the kids simple questions to which they would reply some hilarious things! I saw this little questionairre on a friend's blog. Austin always says such random and off the wall things, I'm hoping we get a little glimpse of that with some of these questions. Hopefully nothing too revealing!!
1. What is something mom always says to you?
"Yes" (I'm glad he thinks so)
2. What makes mom happy?
"When I help you"
3. What makes mom sad?
"When I disobey or don't come down from the tree" (I really don't quite know what that means, but it was funny)
4. How does your mom make you laugh?
"When you tickle me and make a funny face"
5. What was your mom like as a child?
"silly and like to play"
6. How old is your mom?
"61" (ouch!! That anti-aging cream must have expired!)
7. How tall is your mom?
"REALLY tall"
8. What is her favorite thing to do?
"Run and play with me" (I've been running in the evenings when Marcus gets home but it's definitely not my favorite)
9. What does your mom do when you're not around?
"Get ready to give me a present" (*so sweet*)
10. If your mom becomes famous, what will it be for?
"Superstar Volleyball Player" (I love this kid!!)
11. What is your mom really good at?
"I don't know...play or cook?" (he really had a hard time even thinking of something...darn)
12. What is your mom not very good at?
"jumping" (guess I won't be a superstar volleyball player then)
13. What does your mom do for her job?
"coach volleyball and teach other people to play"
14. What is your mom's favorite food?
"Chicken Salad and Taco Soup" (those are definitely top of the list!)
15. What makes you proud of your mom?
"When you play with me and tickle me"
16. If your mom were a cartoon character, who would she be?
"Cinderella" (ain't it the truth!!)
17. What do you and your mom do together?
"Read stories and play games"
18. How are you and your mom the same?
"We have the same color pants and we live in the same house"
19. How are you and your mom different?
"You have really long hair and you're a girl, but I have short hair and I'm a boy."
20. How do you know your mom loves you?
"You hug me and kiss me and you say, "I love you"."
Austin is such a sweet little boy. It's funny to see the things he notices about me and sweet to know that he loves when we read, play games, and even when I tickle him....even through the protests.

Halloween Extravaganza...sort of
Well, I wouldn't really call it an extravaganza, but we definitely had a week FULL of extra Halloween events. Monday for preschool I had the kids go on a "treasure hunt" because we were talking about the letter 'X'....X marks the spot, duh! They were hilarious. We also finished up some halloween stuff and even learned a little. ;) Tuesday we had a halloween "party" at the library for storytime. Another reason for the kids to dress up and eat sweets, that's all that really mattered. Wednesday there was a carnival at the community center....more costumes and plenty of candy!! I was already done with Halloween before the day even came. j/k 

Friday's preschool was a little halloween party that the two other mothers and I put on for the kids. We really are amazing!! ;) The kids (and even we) had a really great time. We read a story, sang some songs, made candy necklaces, decorated cookies, created spooky scenes, bobbed for apples, ate donuts off the string, wrapped each other as "mummies" with toilet paper, played musical chairs and of course had snacks....whew!!
Craft time with all the preschoolers....decorating cookies.


I lost track of how many apples Cali bit into and threw back....gross!!
Open wide and say Ahhhh....Austin was a pro and Cali wasn't too bad herself.
Both had powder everywhere!
The Mummy Returns!!!
Halloween Night was short and sweet! The kids had a blast and we were only out trick-or-treating for about 45 minutes. Cali learned how to say "trick-or-treat" and we all had a really great time!!
Austin could barely carry his bag anymore but wanted more...please?
I don't know who had more fun...Marcus or the kids? ;)
I hope everyone had a safe and happy halloween. We sure did!
