A bit late but.....Happy Halloween!!!!!

Hope it was great for everyone! Both the kids got way too much candy, Kenny is wired (that is putting it mildly) and two missing pumpkins compromised our Halloween fun.



As you can see we had a black dancing cat and a scary pirate. I was completely amazed that Dude let me put some face makeup on him. That is a first! Daddy took both out and I stayed home to clean up and guard the pumpkins from disappearing again. They ended up meeting up with friends and had a ball going out together. Daddy said it was funny watching Kenny. He is so impatient (cough Daddy cough) that he would knock on the door, yell "trick or treat" and if the people didn't answer right away, he was pounding on the door! Gonna have to work on patience I guess. Hopefully now we can get back to normal, and Dude can relax a bit and get back on schedule.

As for the school issue, well Kenny has basically proven that taking his EA away is not a good idea. The closer we got to Halloween, the more hyper/excited/uncontrollable he got. It helps that we have already said that I have no problem going above the Principal's head to the Board and I will get all my ducks in a row, so to speak.

And thank God, no sign of the swine flu but we have all been sick with a cold. Lots of coughing, stuffy noses and sore throats. But no fevers! No flu shots yet either. We are still siding on the no side for a bunch of reasons. Call me crazy, but until you see what the chemicals in food do to Dude, I can't see how adding extra through a shot is a good thing. I'm still going to research and talk to people, but don't know if it will change my mind.

And will someone please tell the rain to stop! I know it's not snow, and I know that I should be used to it after the summer we had, but holy crow, ENOUGH ALREADY!!! That is all.
