A little bit of this, a little bit of that

1. Caden informed me today that cuddling makes him feel orange.

2. A couple nights ago, Tyler puked, peed, and puked again on the living room floor in a span of three minutes.

3. I'm pretty sure that Job and I are related.

4. We have a house full of toys and fun things to do and yet Tyler insists on playing in the garbage can ALL. DAY. LONG.

5. We've been in Carlsbad almost 7 weeks and I still have a few boxes to unpack. Truthfully, they're probably going to be sitting there for a while longer.

6. I *think* that our baby factory might be closed for good. These kids have been giving me a run for my money lately.

7. Tyler has an aversion to most yellow and orange foods.

8. I got asked to leave the pediatrician's office a couple weeks ago because we follow an alternate vaccine schedule. I have never been treated so rude in my life. I have a son who stopped talking and regressed into his own little world after receiving his 12-month shots, so we space out the vaccines a little bit. I know, I know. I'm a rebel.

9. I scared Kenzie half to death the other night with a video that I showed her on Youtube and now she can't sleep. That's what you call great parenting right there.

10. We found a new neurologist for Cierra, but he's all the way in Albuquerque. It is going to a long drive back and forth to appointments. Her first appt is November 29th.

Halloween in Carlsbad

It was a typical Sullivan family Halloween here in Carlsbad. We bought Caden three different costumes and they were all "wrong" for various reasons. He ended up wearing a costume that we borrowed from Karen and the other three costumes were packed away in hopes of being used next year. Last year we only got Caden one costume and he wore it everywhere, everyday. Except on Halloween. He refused to wear it and went trick-or-treating in his regular clothes. Oh Caden.

We went trunk-or-treating at the church on Wednesday night, downtown trick-or-treating on Friday night, and regular trick-or-treating on Saturday night. Kenzie only dressed up for the ward party and went as the corpse bride. Cierra was the red queen and dressed up for a halloween party, trunk-or-treating, and downtown trick-or-treating. She was so sick of getting the make-up on that she went trick-or-treating in her regular clothes on Halloween. My kids are a bunch of weirdos. Tyler was the cutest little cow ever. We only dressed him up for the ward party. There was no way I was wrestling him into that thing more than once.

All in all a success.


*Two random bits of information-orange kit kats are gross and it is really funny that everyone here thinks that Carlsbad has a downtown.
