The boys found where we put all their Halloween candy and they wanted it tonight. They would take a bite of a piece of candy and decide that they didn't want it and then get something else. Of course dada couldn't let that go to waste so I ended up eating a fair number of candy tonight. My stomach now hurts from eating all the candy. I had a Take 5 candy bar for the first time. I'm not a big fan of chocolate covered pretzels, but the Take 5 was quite good.
I have been losing weight over the past month or so. Although the weight I am losing is just what was gained after the babies were born. Not getting to work out + not getting sleep = eating more to stay awake = gaining weight. It's not like I'm overweight, but I am outside of my comfort zone and would like to lose ten more pounds. It's hard to do when I eat the leftovers from the kids.
We learned that Calvin and Brayden like regular M&Ms, don't care for peanut M&Ms, like Hershey's chocolate bars, don't like Take 5, like Nerds, don't like Snickers. I noticed that they didn't care for candy that has any sort of nut in it. They also really seem to like Milk Duds. It's funny to see them eat Milk Duds because they get the caramel stuck to the roof of their mouths. It's kind of like giving a dog peanut butter.
Erin had asked me to do something and called me James so Calvin decided to call me James. It's not the first time, but it's kind of funny. I tell him my name is dada, but he says "no, James".
Brayden and I were hiding from Calvin tonight. We put giant pillows around us to hide. Brayden always says "sshhhh, hiding from brother" to me when we're hiding. Calvin will run over and jump on us.
Calvin figured out that he can play with the washing machine and dryer. We have the Samsung front-load washer and dryer where the controls are on the front. Calvin kept turning the power on and off. I'm sure he liked seeing the lights come on and off and hearing the noises it makes. I have to say that I'm less than impressed with the front-load washer and dryer. They seem to do a good job cleaning, but they I keep thinking that the clothes have a weird odor about them. It's almost like a mildewy odor. Maybe it's just me.
I went to a manager's offsite meeting today for work. The meeting was held in a hotel conference room. When I was walking into the hotel I noticed people that were wearing costumes. I thought it was a little strange since Halloween was a few days ago. Then I kept seeing more and more people wearing strange costumes. I can't even begin to explain the strange costumes that I saw. Eventually we decided to ask someone what was going on and they said that there was a Japanese Anime convention. It was a bit odd, but who am I to judge? Anyway, it did add a bit of entertainment seeing all the goofy costumes.
