Halloween 2010 - can we get a do over?


Halloween is one of our family's eagerly awaited holidays, like many families with little kids. Having 5 kids to dress up, I got all geeky and tried to steer them towards a theme. Perhaps the Wizard of Oz, flatly rejected. Violet only wanted to be a princess - again. Jack showing a little more flair chose a knight. That I could work with. We already had a one dragon costume that Jack wore when he was a baby, so I got one more and had Ben and Dash be dragons, Jack the knight and Violet and Georgia renaissance princesses. Feeling like going all out, I got Ron and I king and queen crowns and was very much looking forward to trick or treating at Uncle Luke's house with Bianca.
When Halloween rolled around it was wicked cold out and I was really sick. Not realizing how sick, we went ahead and I tried to press on. Well, lasting one house with a dragging me and whiny babies I headed to the comfort of Luke's house and let Ron continue with V & J. They were happy as clams and had fun filling their entire bucket full of candy. In all the hub bub we never took any pictures of all of us or the babies at all. Too bad, they were super adorable all together. Meanwhile, still really sick, I went to the MD later in the week - my b-day :( - and was diagnosed with pneumonia! There goes almost an entire month of feeling crappy/recovering. No wonder I am so behind on this blog.

Yikes, that took the fun out of things. Jack's costume is really great though!
