Halloween 2016

Halloween! It's here....and it's on a Monday. BLAH.
Wiggy is my only child that is concerned about dressing up, so she picked out her costume weeks in advanced---which is a miracle for us. We are usually at the Halloween store at the last minute trying to find something. Tubbs and Bubba are concerned about getting candy but the costumes don't mean much.

This year Wiggy chose a Cleopatra costume and it was beautiful. Lucky for her she even got to wear her costume to school, which has never happened before. The school did an incentive for kids who got perfect attendance...and it worked.
I bought Tubbs some name tags and he was an "Identity Thief." 
We were invited to a friend's house to go trick or treating in their neighborhood. We are friends with all of their family, so all of the boys went out in a group, running door to door. Bubba's buddy invited him to his house and it was in the same neighborhood, so they handed our candy and did a little trick or treating. I took Wiggy out and walked with the other mom. It was a nice, relaxing evening. Meanwhile all of the husbands stayed behind, coking and joking, and handing out candy.

Tanner was Elliott from ET. :) Everyone in their family was someone from an 80's movie. It was pretty entertaining.

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.
