Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!

I took the kids to IHOP this morning for breakfast since "Dee" was home sick from preschool yesterday and today. She has a bad cough and has been running a fever. They both got those chocolate chip face pancakes with the cool whip and extra chips on top. They both also pretty much ate the cool whip and the chips and drank their chocolate milks. Sugared up long before trick or treating! Oh well. Poor Dee even missed her party at school but she said she didn't want to go today even though she was much improved from yesterday. Hopefully she'll be done w/ her fever and can go back tomorrow- I've gotten dependent on her being out of the house! =/

And happy 2nd birthday to Liam =D He was Tigger tonight for trick or treat and Carrie was a pirate. They were pretty great looking! He was incredibly distracted by all the "pretties" along the sidewalk while we were going house to house. First he found some leaf stems that he ripped off his mittens so he could pick up. Then it was a red leaf. Then it was a magic dandelion. Then a blooming dandelion! He was more enamored with everyone's pumpkins than with the candy- to him they're just shiny wrappers. Except for lollipops. He totally gets what those are ;) He got one at the second house we visited and chattered about it the rest of the night, including using it as a microphone and singing into it while waving his arm just like Rob does in the video a few posts down! Too funny. It was much warmer this year (MUCH warmer) and we started at 6 when it was still light. Dada thinks we had around 40 kids... lots of them were our kids' age. A handful of junior highers and the rest were all about 8 or under. Everyone pretty much was done once it was dark even though it lasted until 8 PM officially. I think Liam and Care Bear were in bed by 8:20 or so...

He had a slice of pumpkin pie today since I made three of those instead of cake this year. He dug right in and ate it all up. Most of his words are food words, like his Hinrew did too. But "book" is another very favorite, along with his no. 1 word= NO! Eh, he's two. Egads, he's two!

Sorry this post is so scattered- wrapping up to go to bed. The pictures, we did get them, are awesome, so I'll try really hard to figure out how to post them soon! We have so many! Thanks to Kay (I think- a singing card- what were you thinking?! Haha), Mar, and Pap & Grandma Barb for the cards that came today. Nana, yours didn't make it yet. Love y'all! =)
