Well, we had another successful Halloween this year; minus sick Tinkerbell. A few days before Halloween, Mikayla came down with a runny nose and fever. We were hoping she'd be well enough to enjoy to ghoulish festivities, but she was not.
The Friday before Halloween, however, she was able to bring treats to her classmates and enjoy a pre-Halloween shindig. The night before, Mommy slaved away making goody bags for both her and Aidan's classmates. They included sticky eyeballs, eyeball bubbles, Halloween pencils, pumpkin erasers and candy of course! Aidan's were topped with a monster sticker and Mikayla's had cute trick-or-treaters!
From what I heard, the classmates were appreciated of my late night creativity.
Friday my mom came in from Chicago. We hadn't seen her since June so it was nice to share the holiday with her.

The kids had a great time. They were pooped at the end of the night - especially my beautiful Tinkerbell. She had a fever the entire time and just wanted to sit in her stroller after this house. Good thing little brother Peter Pan agreed to take her bucket to the door to get her candy. It was great and we are already planning on next year - Adam's Family Values!
Since the wonderful Halloween weekend we have been enjoying some quiet time. Mikayla is feeling better now; however, her little brother and I have come down with the cold today. We are watching movies and sleeping on the couch together - hoping for a speedy recovery.
I'll close this post with some pictures of Aidan in his owl beenie made special by Nana.

I am soooooooooo happy to share in the Halloween festivities and enjoy all the tricks and treats with you and your friends. I too wish "Tink" was feeling better, but she was a real trooper the entire weekend. So sorry Mommy and Aidan are sick, but understand, because Nana came down with it last Friday and spent most of her weekend in bed...all worth it for sure, a cold is worth every minute of those smiles and laughs...see you soon Shorty, less than 90 days and counting. Love, Nana
