Oh...Halloween.

Okay soooo....this has been a very long week. Both girls have been sick since Sunday. By Wednesday night, both girls had croupy coughs and so we packed them up for a field trip to the Stollery because really, we weren't sleeping anyways listening to their poor barky coughs. 

I ended up taking Ellie again this morning at 8am because she needed more meds. Luckily it was not busy at all and the girls actually wanted to play in the kids area. It's so strange, but I usually wait for less time in the Stollery waiting room than at their own doctor's office. And the Stollery has toys and kids tv.  Way. Better. 

Anyways.

All that being said, we did take the girls out for a bit of trick or treating last night. They were really tired (because the night before they were up in the night at the hospital) and so they were really excited and then faded very quickly. We were home by 7pm and putting them into bed. 

But it was fun to see so many decorated houses in our neighbourhood! Some were super scary, others were just fun, and we made our way around with Wren's pal Drake and his family. I didn't take any pics, sorry. It was so windy and too crazy trying to get out the door.

Kenton and I really enjoyed taking the girls around, we find that Halloween can be messed up at times (unsafe candy, weirdos, people acting stupid, etc), it's also a great way to meet your neighbours and get to know your neighbourhood a little better. And it's kind of fun getting a glimpse into people's homes when it's dark out! 

The girls loved it. Ellie ran around in her giraffe costume and Wren chose her dragon one over a mermaid (it was chilly out!) and obviously they are super happy to eat the candy now. A little too happy.

Wren woke up still sick enough to not go to preschool, so we took it easy. They played some babies and Ellie kind of missed the concept of giving her baby the bottle...

Ellie giving Wren a silly smile...she knows she's a ham.

I am ready to get out of the house this weekend! Wahoo!!
