Happy Halloween
The kids are so happy it is Halloween. Justin had a rough night last night. He was tossing and turning and having a hard time getting comfy. It was a long night for Bret and I. He told Bret in the middle of the night his ear hurt but this morning he woke up as happy as can be. Nikki and I were off to get my bangs cut. Then we stopped at Kohl’s. Nikki picked up a hot wheel motorcycle toy for Justin as a gift for either his birthday or X-mas. It is fun to have the kids shop for each other. We decided to get the kids vaccinated for swine flu. This morning there was a clinic giving the nasal mist one out with no mercury. So we stood in line for an hour and a half. The kids did great with it. I had a lollipop ready too. Now we just have to remember to get them vaccinated again in 30 days. Then we headed to Vena’s for a Halloween brunch. It was nice and we were really hungry. The kids decorated cupcakes…we are all eating like crap today. Nikki found the Little Einsteins rocket ship that she loves to play with and Justin played with the Geo Trax. When we got home we carved our pumpkin. Nikki was really into helping dad with it.
Justin and I were in the backyard cleaning it up. Right now the kids are relaxing watching The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Grandma/pa came over. The kids got lots of Halloween stuff and goodies from them. Alan, Roberta, and T came over too. It was a nice family night. T wasn’t too happy though-maybe teething. She loved the swing though.
We need to dress her up and retake Halloween photos. We just got pizza and then got ready to go trick or treating. The kids had a great time and looked adorable. Nicole wanted to lead the way with her magic wand. They were so cute going to people’s door and yelling trick or treat. Most of the time they remembered to see please and thank you. Watching the kids was a memory I hope to treasure forever as I had such a great night. The kiddos were so excited to have some candy tonight. Both picked out the biggest pieces to eat. They didn’t go to bed until 9:00ish but like I said it was such a great night. But I am so tired. Bret had on this cool shirt that lit up as you talked, he got all the attention tonight. Everybody thought it was so cool.
