October

It seems that September was only a few days ago but in reality October is more than halfway over. This month started off with 3 very sick kids. With fevers reaching 104 and a visit to the doctor the kids have found themselves competing in sleeping marathons against each other. The first weekend they were sick they slept the "entire" weekend waking up for a few minutes to only fall back asleep a short time later. It was a very quiet weekend. We knew the moment they started to feel better because suddenly someone was sleeping too close to them or taking all the blankets where hours ago they didn't know the difference. They have been better now for a week or so and it's nice to have them all feeling better again but I can say that it was nice to have such a quiet house for those few days.

As for the week following illnesses we have just been preparing for Halloween. The kids are anxious to go trick or treating and wearing their costumes. A day doesn't pass when Hunter will ask me how many more days until Halloween. It makes it exciting to know he's so excited....so we are anxiously awaiting the end of the month, ha ha ha. I'm sure it will be here before we know it.
