Three Little Pirates

I'm a couple of days late with the Halloween photos, but better late than never. All three boys were pirates this year and the most exciting part of their costume (for them) was the swords. Tony and I must have told the boys to stop 'sword fighting' at least twenty times throughout the weekend. We were a little disappointed in the photos this year as I didn't notice there was a big smudge/mark on the right hand side of the lense (hence the blurriness). We went trick or treating in my mum's neighbourhood and the boys surprisingly filled their bags with lollies. Most people here have a negative attitude towards Halloween so they don't dress-up and don't decorate, but at least the majority of people still hand out lollies. We all had a fun time and the boys loved decorating the front of our house. Happy Halloween for this year... and may next year be just as fun.

The boys look so great =)

Looks like they had fun and you've got some new decorations? Love the huge pink and black spider!

Christopher had a look too and now wants to play pirates with Noah and get a sword.

Funny Comments

Ashton walking into the supermarket quietly whispers to himself: "Please can I have macaroni and cheese, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

Ashton: "I want to live with Jesus." Mummy: "Why?" Ashton: "Because he be nice to me and he gives me bread and water!"

Mummy, examining Ashton's legs, and thinking: My goodness, what hairy legs. Ashton, unimpressed with Mummy's examination, pulls away: "Don't touch them. I'm growing Daddy legs!"

Hayden gets upset at Ashton: "Right Ashton, that's it! I'm telling Jesus on you!"

Ashton with a cold: "I'm snotty as a piggy."

Hayden: "The sun is burning my eyeballs."

Hayden: "Mummy, how come your penis is missing?"

Hayden: "I get the bigger piece of cake because my skeleton is bigger."

Hayden (3yrs old) sees me get dressed in the morning and stares at my breasts with a confused look..."What thooooose be for???"

Hayden: "I don't want to finish my pizza, it's got blood all over it."

Hayden: "Ashton hit me in the heart."

Hayden learns the planets at Preschool: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Penus!

Hayden (shopping with me and whining): "My brain hurts forever because you haven't buyed me anything."

QUOTES

Like the changing leaves of fall...My little boy is now a man.

Boys are God's way of telling you that your house is too neat!
--Author Unknown

There never has been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between a mother and a son.
--Author Unknown

Boys are found everywhere - on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.
