Treats and Sweets!

 What a fun Sunday we had! Fun began on Saturday night with a trip to my folk's to take Mom home (the house always seems emptier after she leaves!). The kids weren't feeling very well and David had been feverish. I knew he was tired when I asked him if he was ready to go to bed and he said, "yeah."

Sunday morning we went to church with Mom and Dad and skipped Godfather's (much to my chagrin!) in favor of faster food at Burger King. Both kids like the mac and cheese, and Kassy ate more than David! We headed down the road for Brookings to trick-or-treat at Great Grandma's house. We put the kids in their costumes before we got to her apartment. David had fun playing with his sister puppy that he didn't argue very much when I put him in his Bedtime Carebear costume.

The kids played with Grandma and Grandpa Pickard and all was fine until David bumped his nose on the toy he was playing with. Bloody nose! Blood on the carpet, costume, his shirt, my shirt, used a LOT of kleenexes and wet wipes to get cleaned up. Lucky for me, Allen was fast with a rag on the carpet and got all of the blood out.

Back in the Expedition again headed for Grandpa Mike and Grandma Pam's house. Grandma knew of a good place to get David's hair cut (his 3rd, someday I suppose I'll lose count).  Then back to Grandpa and Grandma's for play time with them and Nate. Ate some candy too, of course!

Next we went to Grandpa Doug and Grandma Linda's house. Grandma fixed supper for us and we ate while Uncle Parker (in a gas mask) handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Kassy had a fever and wasn't feeling very well, which she evidenced at supper by throwing up in the high chair. Between David's blood and Kassy's puke, it's time to wash my sweater! After supper Allen, Grandpa, and Kassy went to get pedialite while Grandma and I went trick-or-treating with David. He did really well but wouldn't say "trick-or-treat" to the person with the candy. The last four or five houses he wanted to be carried, and he'd say, "Care-a-bear, carry me!" Grandma proudly introduced David as her grandson at the neighbor's homes, which totally blessed my heart!
