Halloween 2009

Christian asked to get in his "super suit" early in the day. We had a busy morning and both Mom and Dad were super tired. I wasn't going to be the tough mom and say no...it was Halloween and kids live for this stuff. Archer was also in his super suit early at the special request of his brother.


Archer wasn't feeling well. At first we thought it might be the flu, but there hasn't been much fever so we are now thinking more like a cold or just runny nose. Archer and Mom stayed home from trick or treating.


Christian however was escorted on his outing by Bacon, Egg and Darth Vader (aka Dark Mater).


I made Christian say the full phrase he learned..."Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat." I always remember my Dad telling us to say that.


Here is the Dynamic Duo for the one outside photo op since Robin was sick.



So to back up just a little bit. It was a rough morning. I had met Mom early to get the boys because Archer was up all night coughing and running a slight fever at her house. She will admit her worry factor goes up ten times as a gran so I picked them up early.
I was so focused on Archer and even thinking he might have the flu that well, I kind of forgot about the clock and let Christian miss his afternoon nap. Well at one point while I was out of the room and he was watching TV, he just took his own little nap.



It was a great Halloween that lasted about 10 days for us. Everyone is a little exhausted today and we are little off schedule with the time change.
