All grown up and playing "House"!: Halloween, anyone?

Halloween, anyone?

The kids asked if they could play dress-ups (Sadie and her friend, Sammy pictured here). Lane had been down for a nap, and as soon as he woke up and saw them all dressed up, he immediately asked, "When can we go to Halloween?" Followed with many incessant phrases such as: "PLEASE can we go to Halloween now?" and currently, in a very demanding voice: " "LET'S GO TO HALLOWEEN AND GET SOME CANDY RIGHT NOW!!"

I was thinking of starting on those fresh fajitas for dinner in a little while - but a mini candy bar does sound yummy, Lane. Thanks for the laughs.

Anny Case said...: Most everyday is Halloween at my house. I dress up like a grad student and consume treats. I'm afraid I'm candy-dependent -- which is slightly better than being addicted to alcohol, but only slightly. What darling photos!; March 8, 2009 at 4:02 PM
Rosalee said...: I found this post quite funny and appropriate. For the last week Emily had been asking me when Halloween is so they can go trick-or-treating and get some CANDY. (What is it with the Groberg genes and candy?
I love the stuff.); March 9, 2009 at 9:51 PM

OVERHEARD

Emerson LOVES to play with the chickens - the other day he was chasing them around the backyard with a plastic fork with a piece of bark in it trying to feed them "Bite Bite" he would say as he poked the fork at their beaks!
At the indoor roller-rink the other day after Lane had fallen down about 2,00 times, he kept getting back up and trying it again. He went out with Maelynn and the disco ball was spinning. As he fell again, he looked up at her and excitedly said, "I just fell on a rainbow!"
While flipping through a little book Lane says to me, "You know what mom? I wanna make something." "Oh, yeah, what's that, Lane?" "Well, it is a special food that has fish and broccoli and donuts and red peppers in it!" "YUMMM!"
Lane was using the bathroom and while I was waiting for him he said, "Mom, did you know that Heavenly Father made this toilet for us?" I said, "Actually, it was made by a man for us to use." "He quickly replied, "Oh yeah. That's what I said. Like Dad or some other worker made it!"
Greg was bargaining with Lane in an attempt to motivate him to use the potty. Greg said, "Lane, I will pay you a quarter if you go pee in the potty, and 2 quarters if you go poo in the potty." Without skipping a beat, Lane responded, "And how much for a fart?"
Tonight I was asking the kids if they wanted me to make them grilled cheese sandwiches. Lane quickly told me, "Mom - I don't want a girl chese sandwich, I want a BOY chesse sandwich!"
Sadie says to me while sweeping up the kitchen floor: "Mom, I would absolutely HATE to be a little crumb. Because I would have to go in the stinky garbage bag and then live in the big stinky garbage can. I would NOT like that at all. I would NOT want to be a little crumb."
IT'S OFFICIAL... Lane inherited my "literal" bug. This morning he was being very grumpy so I said to him, "Lane, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" To which he replied, "No Mom, I woke up IN my bed!"
