Happy Halloween!
Halloween was kind of an after thought this year. I say this every year, but I am not a fan of this made up "holiday." But I participate for the kids...like most moms do.
This year Wiggy was going to be "Foofa" from Yo Gabba Gabba, but we couldn't find her a costume locally. So we did nothing. Then the day of "Trunk or Treak" at the church arrived and I had to do something. Magically, that morning I got an email from Old Navy that said all of their costumes were $5.
Perfect.
I called and had them hold a costume in a 5T...a cupcake.
Even more perfect.
Tubbs picked out his costume a few weeks earlier at Party City. He wanted to be something else, but they were all out. He settled on the "Red Ninja."
Bubba didn't want to buy a costume, which was kind of unusual...but it made my wallet happy.
The night of Trunk or Treat, five minutes before we headed out the door, he decided he was going to dress up. At first he was a hiker....then that turned into a Cub Scout. So, he grabbed his walking stick and his uniform...and he was set.
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
