Halloween

Halloween was 2 days ago. I dislike that it was on a Sunday and Aidan had school the next day but it still went well. Aidan was Iron Man. Skylar also wanted to be Iron Man. Skylar at the last minute became very sick and with it being a little chilly here at night this past week, we decided no costume for her but warm pajamas and shoes & socks. She had a wet cough in her chest with a lot of head congestion :( (this is after I was also sick 3 days before for about 48 hours as well)

We were getting in the car, packing up the kids and the stroller to drive a few blocks away in our neighborhood to my sister in laws house to trick or treat with her kids when me and Joe felt really badly for Skylar. It wasn't as chilly as we thought it would be so we grabbed her pumpkin for candy, threw on a cute pink punk skirt, (over her ducky pajama bottoms) a skull necklace and a "play and destroy" T-shirt. she looked adorable. In the end it all worked out. It didn't get as chilly and she of course wanted to walk and trick or treat the entire time. We pushed the stroller the whole night for nothing :) I take that back, JOE pushed the stroller the whole night while I ran up to every door with her and listened to this cute sick voice saying trick or treat. At one house she asked the lady for a snickers bar for her daddy :) that was the best!

It's been awhile...

I work from home and the past few weeks have been crazy... I have lots to update and pictures to upload :) with coffee in hand, here I go.



First Aidan's field trip to the Green Meadows Farm, that is where we left off. There was confusion in the morning with my sister's truck not starting and she was chaperoning and they were an hour late getting to the school but they made the buses just in time! (charter buses too!) A neighbor drove them to the school so they could make it there in time. Lots of drama.

Aidan got to ride a pony, feed a goat, pet chickens and hold a baby ducky. Milk a cow, ride on a train/hay ride, & pick a pumpkin. All in all he said he had a great time. My sister says she will NEVER chaperone again :) success! She was only in charge of Aidan and one other little girl but because EVERY child was wearing the same tie-dye shirts :) she couldn't keep track of the kids. She said all of the other chaperones had to be on Valium because no one seemed to mind anything. She was frantic to keep a hold of her 2 kids and other parents would hand her more kids to do potty breaks and the kids would just run away and it was very funny listening to her tell me how crazy it was for her who will never ever do it again. :)
