Well, in true form, I seem to have a caught a cold. Not any old cold... but a BAD one. I've lost my voice, which I seem to do at least twice a year, and my kids actually seem quite amused by it all. In fact, a few days ago when I woke up with barely any voice left, Jacob came over with a confused look on his face and this was our conversation:
Jacob: Mommy, why are you talking so quiet?
Me: [said in a barely audible whisper] I lost my voice
Jacob: You lost your voice? [looking more confused than ever!]
Me: Yes, I lost my voice.
Jacob: Is it because you're sick?
Me: [nodding yes in agreement]
Jacob: Mommy, it's good you lost your voice.
Me: Really? Why?
Jacob: Because you can't yell at us when we're naughty if you've lost your voice
OUCH! Truth hurts, doesn't it?!!
On a much BETTER note, my youngest Evan cut his first tooth last week. I'm not sure why but I feel such pride in the fact that he's cut his tooth. It's not like it takes any skill (I'm fully aware of that), but I feel like he's crossed that first big milestone. Next he'll be sitting up and before you know it he'll be crawling all over the house. His little smile gives me such joy. In my mind, I've nicknamed him the one-toothed wonder! :)
I'm including pictures from Halloween last week. We had a blast with the kids. We had the Little Einsteins Rocket (Jacob), a cute little chinese girl (Aubrey), and a frog (Evan). We went to our ward's trunk or treat party and then came home so that the kids could trick or treat a little here on our street. Aubrey was terrified of everyone in a costume. In fact, she wanted to be held all night. Can't blame her really. To a 2 year old, seeing Frankenstein and all other kinds of spooky goblins barrelling towards you can be pretty scary... even if they have big smiles on their faces. Dallin and I dressed up like Hawaiians complete with a grass skirt and a coconut bra, although I didn't wear the bra to the ward party. I just don't think I could have faced the bishopric with a coconut bra on. I don't know... maybe it's just me. But nonetheless, we did manage to get some good pictures anyway. I'm trying out this new slideshow on my blog. It has a bunch of pictures from all of our Halloween adventures this year. Enjoy!!
