This year Halloween was on a Friday....the best day of the week!
Thursday after school Tubbs decided he wanted to dress up and asked me to take him to Party City. Let me just tell you that going to this place the day before Halloween might be one of my biggest mistakes in life. I think it took us over two hours to get in and out. Ugh. But I am happy to report that Tubbs did in fact find a costume....which I completely doubting an hour into the excursion.
After we got home and ate dinner we did the traditional pumpkin carving.
At school the kids aren't allowed to dress up, but in after school daycare they could so Wiggy made sure to stuff her back-up costume in her backpack. Luke and I had parent teacher conferences in the afternoon, so we got to see Wiggy on the playground playing in her Elsa costume. She wanted to bring her wig to school too, but I nixed that idea.
After picking up all the kids after school, we headed to an early dinner at Tony's Pizza. After dinner we came home, anxious to get trick-or-treating. Bubba had no idea what he was going to be, but he knew he wanted to get candy, so he grabbed his pumpkin off the porch, carved a hole in the bottom and put it on his head. That kid got comments on that costume at almost every house. We thought it was quite comical. The pumpkin head was a good idea for Bubba since he can't smell anything. He pulled it off well.
Happy Halloween!!
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.
