Happy Halloween!

I did have time to download from my bigger camera - I'm hoping I will find some time soon!

First, I was working from home one day and lost Taco (Its happening more and more lately - he is quiet and sleeps). I finally found him in Heidi's play area. :)

I took on the first part of a much larger project to get the house organized! I went through EVERYTHING in the morning room. I threw away so much! So many stupid bracelets and happy meal toys and broken things. We also organized it - now we have all the baby doll stuff together, all the art stuff, all dress up stuff, kitchen etc etc. Next up - the BASEMENT!

Halloween is always a good time. We had lots of trick-or-treaters and gave away a lot of candy.

So... Lucy is in two preschool classrooms and I sometimes get confused on what each class is doing for the day. Her one class had Halloween on Friday and I didn't think the other class was doing anything. So poor Lucy didn't have her costume. Luckily, we had some quick thinking teachers and she was a chef! I guess she owned it and made the St Jude website even. Lucy is a good sport.

Halloween Preview

Lucy had a rough week. She got a rash and some red eyes over a week ago but never a fever, no real discomfort - just a rash. We went to the football game and no big changes and overall ok. Fast forward to Tuesday morning and she woke up with head-to-toe itchy rash. Long story short and three doctor visits and more scheduled - they don't know why. All have come to the conclusion that Lucy's body is fighting off something and she seems to be winning. Some different creams and a whole lot of Benadryl - she is doing better. Still don't know 100% why but we are going to a specialist specialist on Thursday to see if we can answer why. Nothing to be too worried about - might be connected to her strain of Molluscum Contagiosum - who knows... Doc says she is happy, she is not itchy anymore and things are healing.

Our neighbors had a birthday party and come to find out - it was a Halloween-everyone-dress-up kind of party. I was a last minute Disney tourist - fanny pack and all - Chris decided to dress like our neighbor, Jason. It was quite funny throughout the night.

The girls got to wear their costumes for the party. Yep - nothing homemade this year - not enough time. I think they are cute just the same :)

Go Huskers!

We had a fantastic weekend! We took a mini trip to Bloomington, Indiana for the Huskers vs Hoosiers football game. It was only about 5 hours away and we figure it was a good first experience for the girls and Husker football! The girls were great. I think there were as many Husker fans as Indiana fans there at the game! Everyone was nice, everyone had fun and we were glad we could do it. The girls also enjoyed staying in a hotel - kids love hotels! It was nice to get away with the family and enjoy some Husker football too!
