Brenden: I can't take it anymore. I can't wait any longer.
(Gets up from the table and grabs a weird Asian snack from the cupboard that we've had since before we got married)
Me: I didn't know you wanted to eat that. Ever.
Brenden: I always want to eat everything.
(Trying to reassure me about my exam tomorrow that I haven't studied for)
Brenden: Maybe you will have a dream tonight that will teach you everything you need to know for the test. You will wake up in the morning, "Oh that was a weird dream. Now I don't need to study."
(Talking to me about how long it's taken me to do my homework)
Brenden: Homework does take a long time when you have to do the imaginary problems too.
(Fighting over whose music we get to listen to)
Brenden: My music makes me smart. (pause) That was rude. I'm sorry.

Snippets of our conversations
(Or ridiculous quotes from Brenden.)
Me: Do you think that the Mozart effect really works?
Brenden: I don't know but I think we should try out the Mahler effect on our kids. And Wagner, too. (Clarification: Not on Wagner but the Wagner effect.)
Me: I don't think we should make them listen to Wagner. I think that's a decision they should make for themselves.
Brenden: BLASPHEMY! We can't leave them to make these decisions on their own. We have to raise them right.
Brenden: (after fixing me a late night grapefruit snack) I licked all your food.
and later...
Brenden: I want a grape fruit too. It's good for colon health, right?

Happy Halloween!
We realize this is a bit late but Brenden and I wanted to share some of our Halloween adventures.
The Saturday before Halloween we decided to finally cook some of the shrimp my mom brought up when she visited earlier in the month. It had just been sitting in my freezer waiting for us to have enough time to actually cook a real dinner. One of my roommates was thoroughly disgusted when she realized Brenden and I had to peel the shrimp (which still had the heads on them!). She's never had shrimp so she didn't realize it was totally and completely worth it. Oh the joys of preparing seafood. We snapped some pictures to share. And this is how you know Brenden and I are complete weirdos, when we share pictures like this:
We actually took a few others with shrimp brains in the sink but we realized those would probably make people throw up so we decided not to share those. Who knows? The above picture may have been enough to make someone sick and our efforts were in vain anyway.
We went to the Ballet West performance of Carmina Burana and the Four Temperaments later that evening. We didn't enjoy it as much as we'd hoped we would. Oh well. It was still an enjoyable evening.
On Halloween, Brenden and I got dressed up:
And we lit a candle we bought back in September for Halloween:
It's a little crazy (and sad) how busy we've been. But that evening we were able to go to the Courtyard at Jamestown and sing to the residents there with a group of volunteers. It was incredibly enjoyable and all of the residents really appreciated us being there.
Anyway, that was our Halloween! Hope yours was good too! :)
