Updates and Halloween

Emma had surgery on Monday. She had a 2nd set of tubes put in, tonsilectomy and partial adenoidectomy.

She has done awesome! She doesn't seem to be in any pain, although, we are giving her Tylenol (at the request of the dr) because it seems like day 3-4 is worse than the 1st couple of days (scabbing starts to take place).

She is eating and drinking just fine!! She's in a happy mood and talking up a storm! :)

We took the kids to West Park Baptist Church last night for their Trunk or Treat. I guess that's the place to be. There were hundreds of people there! We only stayed about 20 minutes - long enough for the kids to get their candy. :) The Chick Fil-a cow was there. Callie wasn't impressed. She kept saying, "I do not like that cow!".

When we got home, we told them they could each eat a piece of candy. Callie immediately went for the pink tootsie roll she got at our neighbors. She was so excited to have a piece of pink candy! :)

Emma didn't want to eat her candy, only carry it around. :) We were going to let her have some Reese's Cup since it's pretty soft. She didn't want it - she just wanted to carry her pumpkin around. However, when it was time for bed, she cried and cried because she couldn't take her candy upstairs. She kept saying, "My candy! My candy!".

Josh had a great time, too. I think he wanted to stay longer, but I could tell he was getting tired, too.

Since we weren't home, we didn't get any trick or treaters (well, we got 2), so we have 5 bags of candy. I guess it will all go into the freezer. :)

I'll post pictures later. We just took a few before we left.

We debated about whether to take Emma or not. We went ahead and took her since we knew we wouldn't be out too long. We bundled her up in a sweater and carried her the whole time. I don't know if she really had fun or not, but I think she was glad to get out of the house.
