Happy Halloween

Sadly, Nicholas came down with something on Friday. It's the flu or a bad cold, but not pneumonia. The doctor sent us to the hospital for a chest x-ray to be safe, but that came back just perfect. Whatever it is, we're treating the symptoms and not letting him in public until he's better.

He was absolutely and completely devastated that he could not participate in the karate party/demo that he'd been practicing for for weeks. So, we did our very best to still make it a happy Halloween for him.

We carved pumpkins. Megan's is a kitty and Nick's is a Star Wars fighter thingy.We went trick-or-treating with our friend Sierra Fringer, the adorable bumble bee. We didn't know if Yoda would want to come at all, but he did a few houses...with his mask on...not touching anything. When he wanted to go back home, Dave went with him. Megan and I continued on with Nick's bag in hand. I was so proud of Megan. She picked as many Kit Kats as she could for her brother. Even more surprising was when neighbors said she could take more than one candy she replied, "No, I only want one, thank you." Hahaha!
Then we came home to start the bidding wars for the spoils. That's the most fun for them, I think.
