October - Going Out With a Bleh!

October hasn't been a healthy month for us in 2009. The kids all had the flu early in the month and we were just getting back into a routine when, bam - hello, stomach virus. William started throwing up early Thursday morning and was home from school Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately this meant that he missed the Kindergarten Halloween Carnival. Poor kid. He felt much better by late Friday but then Henry was up pretty much all night with it on Friday night and Jay got sick late Saturday afternoon.

That pretty much decimated our typical trick or treating ranks, as our "Jay takes the kids trick-or-treating while Rhonda hangs out and reads a book while dispensing candy to the neighborhood kids" tradition didn't quite work out the way it usually does. Instead we put a candy bowl out on the front porch and I took William (the Jedi Knight) and Tessa (Snow White) trick or treating instead. We had fun and came home with lots of candy and treats to share with Henry when he is feeling better.

Luckily we did make it to the ward Fall Festival on Wednesday night before the plague, I mean the stomach flu, struck. So you can see Henry in his Yankee gear and Tessa in her unlayered Snow White look, complete with matching Snow White shoes.

I normally love the month of October, but this year I'm not sad to it go.

Bring on November!
