Sailor Girl and Tigger!
Last night was Halloween. I wasn’t sure if I was going to take Chloe & Josiah trick-or-treating or not but since all my students after supper cancelled I decided that we would go out for a little bit. Jen came and dressed up and went with us. Oh, and a family from church who has kids about the same age as Chloe wanted to swing by and say hi to Chloe, so they came with us for a couple of blocks as well. All in all, it was fun. Josiah wasn’t crazy about sitting in the wagon–he would much rather be pulling it. No, scratch that. He would rather be pushing it backwards. So you can see why we had a battle about that. 🙂
Chloe and her friends from church: Indiana Jones, Mario, Spiderman and Sailor Girl!
We made our rounds to say hi to all the neighbors and then made our way home. We were only out for 1 hour (and didn’t go very far at all!) but going up and down every sidewalk to every door with little kids is quite time consuming. By the time we got home EVERYONE was tired and ready to be done. Which was good, because Chloe said she didn’t feel good and laid down on the couch. Then as we were getting the kids into bed she threw up… So, I guess she was right!
Today, this is how she spent most of the morning...
So, both kids are now sick. 🙁 I’m working at disinfecting the house before my lessons start coming. She may have caught the Croup that they say Josiah has, but Tim and I are not convinced that’s what it is. But who are we to say differently…? Either way, they are sick and, Croup or not, they need a couple of days to lay low and get better.
I’ll post pictures of our pumpkin party tomorrow!
Amazing how quickly they get sick. Try as I might, I can’t see a single inkling of on-coming sickness in those pictures. She just looks as happy and energetic and excited as ever. Sorry she got sick. She sure made a cute sailor girl! And your little tiger is very cute, too!
Love, Mom
