Halloween 2005!

Our Halloween didn't go quite as planned this year. Zander woke up from his nap feeling pretty warm. I took his temp & it was 102. He woke up about 4 pm & we wanted to start Trick or Treating at around 5:30. Gave him some medicine & he snuggled on my lap. He drank some water & did eat a little jello. The kids saw some kids out across the street so they wanted to get their costumes on & go! So we did. We figured we'd put Zander in his for the houses we go to around here....just 5 or 6 of them & then head to New Ulm & drop him off at Grandma's. So we did the houses here & got in the van & headed to town. First we stopped at Eric's & then on the way to Grandma's, Zander puked....and puked. First time one of the kids got sick in the van. I've wanted a new van for about a year or so but have sinced changed my mind. The kids are just too hard on it!! And this was the icing on the cake. Most of it was on his costume though & some on the carseat. So the van was fine...but when cleaning it out today I found some gum on the floor in the back. Thanks for telling me about that Nick. Ugh.

So we turned around & Zander & I came home & Phil went back to town with the kids. Gave Zander a bath & he was much better after that. Put him to bed about 7:15...he woke up an hour later when Phil & the kids got home so I gave him some more medicine & then another hour later he was up again. He snuggled for awhile & then back to bed & woke up fine this morning. Back to his usual self of getting into everything he isn't suppose to!! Glad he just had that bug for a few hours!

Since we weren't able to get any pictures last night, we all put on our costumes tonight & snapped a few!

At least it was Zander that got sick & not one of the other two. He had no real clue what he missed out on! Although after just going to one house, he figured it out pretty quick!! By the 3rd house, he went right in & took what he wanted from her bowl!! I think he would have had a blast!!
