Halloween

Megan after our trip to Grandma's

Today is Halloween and boy was it a fun one.  It started with taking Tyler to school and staying for the parade of costumes.  After we dropped him off we headed to the cafeteria to get seats for the parade.  We got seats close to some friends and Tony's mom met us there.  Tyler was one of the first ones to come out behind his teacher (he loves being the leader).  So we saw him for a couple seconds and then had to wait for the rest of kids to go by.  It was pretty fun since I knew a lot of the kids through the primary at church.

Megan woke up extra early this morning so she was pretty tired and fussy most of the time.  She fell asleep right when it was all over.  So then we walked home and put her to bed.  Lucky for me she stayed asleep for another hour.  Tyler got out early today so I had to have a neighbor come sit at my house while I walked to the school to get Tyler.
Earlier this afternoon I took the kids to go trick-or-treating at Grandma's house.  We hung out at my parents for a while and then we stopped at Grandma Margie's.  Then we headed back home to get ready for the evening.  I got a take-n-bake pizza from Costco and so I just had to cook it and we had us some easy yummy dinner.

Then it was time to get the kids dressed and start the trick-or-treating.  Megan was going to just go to a couple of our neighbors houses to show off how cute she is, but since the weather was so nice she got to go with the boys to the truck-or-treat.  She feel asleep at the truck-or-treat and so Tony just kept her with him while they did more trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.  They came back about two hours after they started.  Tyler said he was done and his hands hurt (not really sure why, holding his bag I guess) and then Josh was done too until he saw the neighbor girl out and then he wanted to go more with his friend.  So Tony took Josh to a couple more houses but then Josh got tired and was done.
Both Josh and Tyler LOVED handing out candy.  They would fight over who would get to give out the treats to the kids.  I had to have them take turns to solve that problem.  We let them stay up and pass out candy until about 8:00 and then we turned out our lights and put all the kids to bed.  Megan was more then ready for bed.
Last night we carved our pumpkin.  Tyler named him Jack.  Tyler wanted him to be winking, so I did the best I could.  Tyler helped me take out the seeds and the icky stuff.  He was really into it this year and it was fun to do that with him.  Josh sort of watched, but wasn't very interested.  Tony feed Megan while we did the pumpkin.

Speaking of Megan...that poor baby.  Still has the runs and today threw up all over me and my moms floor this afternoon.  I did give her some chocolate - that probably wasn't the best idea since she already had a fussy tummy.  I did take Megan into the doctor on Monday and she told me that Megan just has a bug and since she is so small it just takes her longer to get over illnesses.  So that pretty much sucks.  I thought maybe she was getting a little better, but now I am not so sure.  She did seem to be more happy today, not as fussy as she was.  I just hope that she gets better soon.

We did decide to just move her into her crib in the boys room.  Since she can kneel and pull her self up, we had to take off the bassinet of the pack-n-play and put her at the bottom.  She didn't seem to like that at all.  So we moved her in the crib and she seems to do better in the crib.  We can still hear her when she wakes up in the night and she hasn't woken up the boys yet, so that is really good.  Sad to say, but I am so glad to have her out of our room now.  I love my baby, but I need sleep.
