Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween! The kiddos had so much fun this October getting ready for Halloween. While J was out having a good time hunting, we decided to have a little fun ourselves. We went to Gardner Village one weekend, then the American West Heritage Center the next. They also had fun choosing their costumes. They had a Halloween Carnival at school that they participated in and they had a Halloween Costume Parade at school on Friday. They then attended a Halloween Party at a friend's house. They can home all smiles and exhausted.

Which leads us up to Halloween, M started saying she was really cold and she started running a fever. Saturday she could kick the chills or the fever so we choose to take her in to the doctor. She ended up having what I have been dreading...the swine flu. After getting the medicine in her she started to perk up and so wanted to go trick or treating, but she had to stay home. She did get her costume on for pictures. It was sad, because for the whole month she had been looking forward to it. My parents came out on Halloween night and watched M while J and I took O and C to the ward trunk or treat. It wasn't the same without M. J's mom wanted them to come in to her house to show her and grandma great their costumes. So she did get to trick or treat at grandma's.
