The end of September was a pretty good one and the beginning of October has set off my soon to be 8 year old son’s birth month. The past few weeks have been full of getting ready for Halloween, tricks, and of coarse more my kids say the darnedest things moments.
We’ll start off with our getting ready for Halloween trip. The intention was to go to Spirit Halloween to get the kids their costumes and walk around a little. Of coarse the kids dad ends up searching and finding decorations for his apartment. My son gets his Spider-man costume and my daughter gets a punk rock vampress costume and we try them on, then walk around the store. We are by one of the displays that you can push a button and it does something. I note a sign that says jumping spider and suddenly the spider jumps. It made me and my daughter jump but my son was so scared by it he ran off madly screaming. I wish I had it on camera because it was so funny! He has a love/hate for scary things.
This past weekend my son wanted to go to the prison graveyard. Again his love/hate for scary things is very strange. We got this one on video this time. Here is the video because it’s so much better than explaining what went down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCMdWTDo-qw&list=UU_xxXsDnJv9sRGPHiJp5M3A&index=1&feature=plcp
Finally, today starts October, my son’s birth month and here is the conversation we had today:
Me- Hey Jerod! Happy Birth Month!
J- What does that mean?
Me-It means it’s the month you were born.
J- Does that mean I get to do anything I want?
Me- On your birthday you can do just about anything you want. (knows what’s coming)
J- That means I get to boss you around on my birthday.
Me- Bahahahahahaha
