Monday night, our good friends invited us over for a Halloween party (dinner, dessert, cookie frosting). The kids were Pebbles and Bam Bam and John and I dressed up as Fred and Wilma (thank you Shari for the costumes). I must so say myself...we looked pretty awesome. BUT, I didn't take ONE picture! I can't believe I completely forgot to. I'm tempted to have us all dress up again just so I can at least get one picture.
Tuesday night we carved pumpkins. Brooklyn thought it was pretty neat but didn't last too long because she wasn't feeling well.
sick little girl
My pumpkin turned out special (I was trying to be quick)...ha ha. Even Brooklyn would point to it and say "special" :)
John did a zorro pumpkin. And poor Jake...wasn't feeling that great either and drooling all over the place.
He was done by this point.
On Halloween (Wednesday) Brooklyn woke up feeling the most sick she was all week...fever, cough, runny nose, and would cry and say, "body..owie!" I made a bed for her on the couch and she laid around and watched The Little Mermaid and Nemo most of the day. (I don't like having sick kids, but I did get a LOT done that day).
We still had our traditional Halloween dinner of chili and cinnamon rolls - it was delicious. We decided not to take the kids out trick-or-treating. With them not feeling well and not knowing the difference whether we went or not, plus no candy for John and I to be tempted to eat.
For the most part, we've started to feel better (although Jake has gotten a little worse). Brooklyn learned how to climb up on the changing table and I find her there all the time now picking out different bows she wants to wear.
We took the kids to the park the night after Halloween to get out and have some fun. Brooklyn loves the park, especially swinging and going down the slide, which she does all by herself now.
I love these kiddos!
Beck you HAVE to dress up again so I can see your costumes. I was dying to see them! Sorry they were sick... that sounds awful. I hate when Charli is sick. Sounds like a relaxing week though. Does the changing table look like it is going to tip over? I feel like mine would tip if Charli did that.
ReplyDeleteJust LOOOVE your special pumpkin. It is really "spesh"
ReplyDeleteGlad the kids are feeling better. I cannot believe how much your kids look alike. They are truly adorable. I miss you guys.
Um, I'm gonna need to see your costumes! I waited WEEKS to see them :) I love your couch bed, just like your Mom used to do when you were sick. Your house is looking really cute!
ReplyDeleteWHAT? No pictures? I need to see you guys all dressed up! When the whole family matches - that is rare! I am sorry the kids weren't feeling well, we had a crappy weekend right before halloween too -- stomach bug! EWWW. Glad that's OVER! WE are so excited to see you guys this week! xoxo

ReplyDeleteSad your kids were sick! I TOTALLY think you should get back in your costumes for a picture. I WANNA SEE!!! Your dinner looks YUMMY
ReplyDeleteJust stopped by your blog! I remembered you found mine a while ago. I love your special pumpkin! That's what happens when you have two sick kids that want your attention...the pumpkin suffers. ;) Glad the kiddos are feeling better. Hope you guys have a nice thanksgiving! See you when you get back!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I loved your costumes!!!! You guys looked great! You totally need to take a family pic!!!!
ReplyDeleteAddie had STREP THROAT on Halloween. She went out with her friends and got sick about 10 minutes into it. They said she was laying on the ground and too weak to go trick or treating-so sad! Hate when kids are sick for the holidays. The dinner looks delicious!
