I love my crazy kids...

I don't know if it's the weather or all the Halloween candy the kids are still eating, but my kids have been hysterical lately. There are many times throughout my day where I want to run into my room and lock the door and never come out. Then they will do something so funny that I will laugh so hard that I cry. I love to laugh. Laughing can get me out of my worst moods, which is why I think Heavenly Father blessed me with such funny kids. So, I wanted to write down some of the funny things they have said or did lately so that I won't forget them.

Talan cracked me up the other day when he was playing on our sit and spin. Most of you know what a sit and spin is, but the new ones have a Simon says game on them. The sit and spin will say, "Simon says spin." And , if you do it correctly it will do another command. But, if you spin when Simon doesn't say, it will make a losing sound and say, "No, Simon didn't say. " So, while Talan was on the sit and spin this is the conversation he was having with the toy.

Talan: "Simon did say!"
Talan: "What is wrong with you?"
Talan: "Simon's a jerk."

By the time he said Simon's a jerk, he decided it was time to walk away from the sit and spin. I was laughing all day after that.

The other day while I was in the car taking Talan to preschool, I asked Kylen what his name was and his answer was Jesus Christ. At first, I thought I didn't hear him right so I asked him again and he said Jesus Christ again. Part of me was laughing and part of me was looking out for the lighting bolt! Jayden and Talan think this is hilarious and now Ky thinks he's funny, so if you ask Ky his name don't be surprised when he says Jesus Christ. Jarrad and I think he says this because when you close your prayers you say, "In the name of Jesus Christ," We try to correct him, but what can you do. For now, our kid thinks he's Jesus.

Then there's Jayden, who has my sick personality of laughing when people get hurt or do something disgusting. He cracks me up because he'll do almost anything for money. I will try to get him to eat gross things for money. Then, he'll think about it and then barter the price if it's something really gross. I know, I'm just as bad as the kids and I admit it. On Saturday, we went to a Chinese Buffet and they had crab legs and mussels. Well, Jayden comes back with both of these things on his plate. The crab legs are fine, but the mussel was disgusting. So, we all watched as his put the mussel in his mouth and we all watched as 10 seconds later it came back out on his plate. I was still gagging when I told him I would give him a dollar if he ate the rest of the mussel. His reply was, "That is not even worth it." It must have been bad, he'd usually do anything for a dollar! Words cannot express how much I love my kids and the entertainment they give me freely everyday!
