Clark Family: Trick or Treat!

Trick or Treat!

This year we got together with a bunch of friends and went Trick or Treating in our neighborhood. It was a lot of fun - I think it was fun for the kids to be with their friends.

Because we went around 6:00 at night and were gone for at least an hour, we missed most of the giving candy out and so we have a case of CaNdY OVERLOAD - all the candy we bought PLUS all the candy from trick or treating!

After the first couple blocks, Anna decided she was too exhausted to trick or treat anymore, and took a nap in Daddy's arms!

To help those who don't live here and know all my friends' kids, here are a list of costumes and kids so you can know who is who...
King - O'Rien
Black & Yellow Fireman - Corrin
Knight - Gavin
Frog Prince - Kameron
LadyBug - Shelbi
Red & Yellow Fireman - Joe
Fairy Princess - Nadia
Cinderella - Evelyn
Race Car Driver - Samuel
Horse - Anna
Dinosaur - Hyrum

Moments that Make Me Smile

December 1, 2008 - We were watching PBS Kids, and in between shows, there was a lady who was getting the kids to act like different animals. One of them was a crab. The kids on TV were supposed to "crawl like a crab." Well, it didn't look like crawling to me and Samuel pointed out: "They do the potty dance!"

October 27, 2008 - While I was making lunch, Evelyn, in a hurried and panicked voice, says to me: "MOM: THE SINK IS BURNING!" Turns out that she saw the steam left over from me draining some noodles... No need to panic this time ;)

October 27, 2008 - This morning Evelyn had been singing the "Five Little Ducks" song over and over again. Then one time she paused and commented: "She sure is quacking a lot!!"

October 26, 2008 - Thayne and Samuel were sitting on the couch and Samuel said to Thayne: "Daddy you please eat me?... (he paused for a minute, and when Thayne didn't "eat" him he continued) ... I tasty!" What a clever boy!

October 26, 2008 - In Sunday School, our teacher started by asking us a question: "What makes you happy?..." Thayne quickly raised his hand and said: "My wife!" .... AWE!! So cute!! What a wonderful husband!

September 20, 2008 - I ran a few errands today with just Hyrum. When I got home, Samuel - as he's running to me keeps saying Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! - comes up to me and gives me a Big Ol' Hug and says: "Mommy, I missed you so much!" - - It's such a good feeling to know you're loved! - - Then he said: "I was whining lots..." I guess he whined when I left! It 's so wonderful that he's starting to use more complete sentences and even correct how he says words - way to go Samuel!
