Pirate Halloween
Mommy the map, Samuel the treasure and Joseph the pirate trick-or-treating at daddy's work.
My little skeleton. He wore this under his costume on Halloween night. His favorite pajamas at the moment.
"Arrrrrgh" favorite little pirate!! His cousin Elena was a pirate as well. 
Daddy with his boys. They enjoy playing with each other.
Trick-or-treating with the kids. Destiny was sick this night and Kayla and Robert would follow in the days afterwards. So would Joseph. We got lots of candy and the kids even heard a scary story about Jack and not keeping the Sabbath holy by fire on cushions outside. We even went to the mall before this, so there was even more candy.

The cake, courtesy of Joe. It looks great and tasted great too!
Our birthday boy. He was so excited to have friends come over for a party. He is wearing one of his birthday shirts.
The goody bags. Candy, toys, and play-doh...what more could a kid ask for...
How about more candy and toys and play-doh? Our pinata that you have to pretend is a dinosaur egg. It split in two after a few rounds. And yes, I did have the kids blindfolded the first time around, but soon realized they were to small to do significant damage even without the blindfolds.
Presents are fun for everyone. He loved everything he got from his friends.
Samuel "walking" before the part began. He is learning fast 
Uncle Eddie helping Samuel get goodies from the pinata...or wait...maybe they weren't for Samuel after all. 
Pure candemonium. The kids left with lots of sweets and little goodies. Fun was had by all who came. I guess I can't vouch for the adults. :)Scared
We took Joseph to one of Joe's coworker's homes for a haunted house. Since then, we have had issues with Joseph being scared of things that he never used to be afraid of till now. Last night he ran downstairs after I put him to bed and said that he heard a noise that didn't sound like talking. I put him back in bed and he asked me to check his closet. I showed him there was nothing there. He was still really scared and wanted to sleep in our room. After discussing it with Joe, we agreed and he came to sleep in our room. I turned out the light/fan in our bathroom. He looked over at me and said, "Whew. I am glad we found out what was making the noise so I don't have to be scared anymore."
After a week of fevers ranging from 100 to over 102, Joseph's temperature tonight was normal. We didn't go to church today because he has had a fever since last Sunday. My temp was a little high, I just hope I don't get sick. I wasted my time and money going to the doctor on Thursday because he said it is a virus that would run its course and to make sure he rests and gets lots of fluids (as if I wasn't doing that already).
Samuel officially crawled last night. When we tried to record it, of course he wouldn't do it. He has been moving lots, but this is the first time he held himself up and moved. Also, he has decided that he likes to chew on his wipes. I can't get him to suck on a pear or eat pasta, but give him wipes, paper and plastic and he opens wide.
Last night I had Joe help me sort through Joseph's toys. It is hard for me to get rid of anything, so Joe was a big help. All our over abundance of toys are listed on KSL to sell. Joe also listed some of his stuff. Most of his sold already.
On another note, my time as a stay at home mom are nearly at an end. I am looking for jobs right now. I have applied a few places, so I guess we shall see if people want to hire me. It will be sad to leave my boys everyday again. They are my life and I love them so much. Spending time with both of them makes me happy. Don't get me wrong, there are trying times as well, but I am grateful for the past 6 months. I do hope and pray that we sell our house so that I won't have to work, but until then, I will do what needs to be done so that we can have a house and food on the table.

Conversation with Joseph:
Joseph: "Mommy, I wish I had 2 mouthes."
Mommy: "Why?"
Joseph: "So I can kiss both your eyes."

Sick again?
So Joseph has a fever right now. It is a low grade fever, only 100.7. Samuel's temperature was at 99 when I put him to bed. At least tomorrow is Joseph's 4 year check-up and Samuel's 9 month check-up. Kayla and Destiny are both sick and we went trick or treating with Kayla, Robert and Jessica yesterday.
Joseph learned a couple of new dinosaur names because he got them for his birthday: pachycephalosaurus, utah raptor, and camarasaurus. He loves dinosaurs so much. Today he set them up as a country.
Samuel is on the verge of crawling. He rocks back and forth and kind of hops to where he wants to go. He may not crawl but he is everywhere. Everyday he gets stuck under the fireplace ledge in our basement family room.
It is so fun to see Joseph and Samuel interact. Joseph makes Samuel laugh a lot and he follows his big brother's actions. Tonight he would roll and hop to wherever Joseph happened to be playing. He would then proceed to laugh when he caught Joseph.
I forgot to mention that we got called as primary teachers. Of course we have been in the ward for almost 2 years and this is our first official calling. We have the 7 and 8 year olds. There are only 4 boys in the class. Today Joe stayed home with Samuel who was having a very rough go of things and had a slight temperature (apparently he screamed the entire time Joseph and I were gone). I only had 3 of the 4 boys today but man were they a handfull. I was at my wit's end by the time we were done with the second hour of primary.
