They were fantastic. In fact, when I told them that they could say TRICK OR TREAT SMELL MY FEET to my mother-in-law, they were shocked. “But MOMMY, that’s not NICE!”

Sheesh.

Ha, I love this story. So…how did they do? Any social gaffes?

Ann, my kids also dislike the things I like the most. Tootsie Rolls, for example. Mmmm . . .

Rebecca, Charlie is pretty tall for his age; he and Henry are both in the 75th percentile for height (I’m saying it that way because I don’t know how many inches either of them is, not because I’m obsessed with the percentiles. So you know). But their daddy is 6′4″, so they’re pretty much just freaks.

But cute freaks!

My 11 year old came out with a very polite “no thank you, I don’t care for them” at the grocer last night.

I told her it would have been better to say thank you and put it in her sack rather than hurt someone’s feelings.

So was I teaching her dishonesty? Maybe but I didn’t tell her to jump up and down and say it was her favorite candy ever. A quiet thank you was enough.

Besides, it was a 3 Musketeers, I knew she didn’t like them, and I knew I’d grab it as soon as we were safely out of sight.

Charlie is almost the same age as my Drew. He was also Mr. Incredible but Drew doesnt seem nearly as tall as Charlie. Is he very tall? I love seeing your pictures and hearing about your boys. They are so similar to mine. Thank you for making me laugh every day!
