The kids had such a fun time picking their pumpkins and couldn't wait to get home and put them on the porch. Ryan and I didn't pick pumpkins, but we do get the priviledge of hearing "do we get to carve them yet?" for the next three weeks. The best part about the whole experience was bringing home a big bag of honey crisp apples... there's simply nothing better than a nice juicy honey crisp with fresh carmel - YUMMY!
Being a parent of small children does come with a few perks, one of them being, watching them do hilarious things. The other day, I was in the shower and Boston was supposed to be sitting on my bed watching a movie. He came in the bathroom and said "Mom, the man's here." I said what man? I was confused and a little freaked out at the thought of a man being in the house. He told me it was the "mail guy" and I asked him if someone was in the house and he told me "no". I figured maybe Boston opened the front door and saw the mailman drop off the mail. I turned off the shower and told Boston to go shut the front door, knowing full well that if he had opened up the front door, that it was still wide open. I heard the front door slam and then a few seconds later the door bell rang. As I'm scrambling to get dressed, I heard the UPS truck drive away. I was dying laughing thinking about this poor guy on the front porch having a two year old leave him standing on the porch for who know's how long and then coming back only to slam the door in his face.
Another precious moment happened this past week with McCall. Ryan has been pretty sick, so it is hard for him to sing to the kids at night. One night I was in with Boston getting him to sleep and Ryan was with the girls. He was having a hard time singing, so he told Olivia that McCall would need to sing songs tonight. She wasn't too happy with that, so he told her he would stay with her while McCall sang one song. She was alright with that, so he laid down and told McCall to go ahead and start singing. He was preparing for a sweet primary song (which he usually sings), but to his surprise he heard the following being belted out: "Oh, say can you see...." McCall continued to sing the entire Star Spangled Banner, as Ryan muffled his laughter. He couldn't stick around to hear what came next, but couldn't wait to tell me all about it.
We are enjoying this time of our lives and look forward to sharing more of our experiences.
