Halloween and stuff...

This was a fun Halloween (yeah, right). I had an upper respiratory infection and felt like poo. Emma went to be Thursday night w/ an obvious ear infection. So, the 2 of us spent Friday morning at the doctor's office. :) Luckily, Emma didn't act like she felt bad until she laid down. At any rate, both of us are better now (I'm still slightly stopped up).

We took the kids to the mall on Halloween night. That actually worked out nicely. We weren't outside in the cold (not that it was that cold) and the kids got more candy than they would have in the neighborhood. We spent about 30-45 minutes walking around getting candy and then the kids were ready to go home! HA!

This year, Josh was a race car driver; Callie was a witch; Emma was a ladybug (same as last year). They were all excited about going trick or treating this year. It was a lot of fun, even if we didn't all feel well.

Josh has a busy 2 weeks ahead of him (well, now about 1 1/2 weeks). He has a project due at school. He has to do a report and a diorama on the hammerhead shark. That should be fun!

He also has a Gingerbread house to decorate for Scouts. They take them to the Fantasy of Trees to sell. It was a lot of fun last year. Hopefully, we can do something pretty this year.

Josh also has to do a book report on a Thanksgiving book. I guess we'd better find that book soon! I don't think that one is due for another 2 weeks.

On top of that, the next 2 weekends are booked. Phil's parents are coming down this weekend and I'll write more about next weekend later. :)
