Taylor and the Turkey
Taylor saw a picture of a turkey cooked and on a plate, looking yummy for Thanksgiving
Taylor: "What's that?"
Mom: "A turkey"
Taylor: "It's down"
Mom: "I guess that you could say he is down"
Taylor: "Who downed him?"
Mom: "The butcher"
Taylor: "He died him?"
Mom: "Yup he died him"
Taylor: "Ooooooo"

Yummy Rice Cereal
The twins got to finally start eating solid food. I have put it off because I just was not ready for the mess. Drew was very ready to eat and Lana was just starting to show signs of interest and it it is the same way with their first bites. Drew ate and Lana wasn't sure about the food.
They have been great but a little backed up with eating the solid food and that causes other problems. The twins just have not been sleeping well since we moved. I know the 2 hour time change caused a problem then with daylight savings and starting solid food and moving. I think it might be getting back to normal but it has been a rough to weeks. I feel like we are never getting sleep. Poor Dave has to deal with it also because the twins are sleeping in our room. Hopefully they will start sleeping through the night soon or I might just go crazy.
It is crazy how sometimes we forget that Heavenly Father is always with us and forget to confide in him and ask for his help. The first week we were here I was so frustrated with the lack of sleep and I would get so upset at night with the twins. My patience was very thin. Suddenly I realized I needed to pray for patience and the ability to cope with stress. Things quickly changed! I feel so much love for my children and that allows me to relax and just cuddle them and be ok. It was just a little reminder to pray and remember that we always have someone to help us if we are willing.

A Cow and 2 Monkeys
We headed South to Grandma & Grandpa Bramhalls for Halloween. We figured we did not know where to trick or treat here so we took Taylor to G&G plus he could go with his cousins. So, everyone had so much fun, well besides our drive to G&G (that is story for a later time).
Then after dinner we got dressed and headed out. The kids were so darn cute. It was so much fun to go with the cousins, everyone in the Bramhall Bunch dressed up as characters from Alice in Wonderland. They were darling but I didn't end up getting a picture of the whole family. Taylor was a cow. That has been what he wanted to be for months and he never changed his mind. We ordered the costume online and when it came it was a little small, but we were not about the send it back. The twins were monkeys. Loved it. As cute as they all were we didn't realize it would be 70 degrees and 86% humidity so costumes did not stay on long they were sweating profusely.
When we got back, Grandma had sugar cookies for the kids to decorate.
