Happy Halloween!

This year Mallory was Nancy Drew, Courtney was Princess Wildflower, George was a police detective, and Lily wore the traditional kitty costume.

We attended the trunk or treat put on my the 3 youth groups in our building, carved pumpkins and had dinner/trick or treating/scary movie at a friends house.

We have all had too much candy, but cannot wait to do it again!

I'll be back to regularly posting soon.

I think we are on the mend. Slowly. This past week my mom was babysitting for some friends that went on a cruise. That gave us a total of 8 children and 4 adults in the house. The kids are all great and get along well so that was no problem. Then one got sick, stayed home from school, then seemed to be better. Wheww thought that we had scrapped by. That next night though, holy cow. 5 little girls all throwing up. At least the 4 oldest could hold bowls. Lily.... Lily... Lily. At least hers was the least disgusting I guess. One after another took turns, Mom and I taking care of them. Only the girls seemed to get it. The boys were all fine. Where were Kevin and dad? Oh they both worked the night shift the night all the kids were sick, and were trying to sleep the next day while I took care of the 6 kids at home, and myself. Yup, I managed to come down with it too. The older kids seem to be on the mend, the extras have gone home. Dad took Mallory, Courtney and George on an Adventure today so that I could rest while Lily does. As long as I remember to take some advil and some liquids I do much better. Hydrateing for 2 is rough!
