Sitting here on my plane ride home from Nashville, it occurred to me that I haven’t written anything since Isabelle's "barf-a-thon" last week and all of you might be wondering how she is doing. Well good news, Isabelle is up and about and feeling 100% better than she did this time last week. However being the great share friend that she is, Isabelle decided that her Papa should have the flu too so Michael had his own "marathon" this past Sunday and Monday but he too is feeling much better now...thank goodness Mom/Grandmama was home from her trip to help watch Isabelle!Roxy and Jazzy-the prettiest flowers I have seen.

We decided to keep Isabelle home from daycare both Thursday and Friday last week, since she had a low grade fever on Thursday and we wanted to make sure she was all better for trick or treating let alone the annual Halloween “photo shoot” with her and all of her friends on Friday. To add to the low grade fever on Thursday, right before bedtime Isabelle slipped off her stool and knocked her chin on the corner of the coffee table leaving a nice cut and bruise for Halloween pics! What a day Thursday was…no sleep, no appetite, still feeling a bit under the weather and then ending the day with a bonk. Maybe we should have had her be a boxer or a hockey player for Halloween instead of a ladybug :)

Like we mentioned, we kept Isabelle home from daycare on Thursday and she was all fired up when Friday's Halloween shenanigans came along. After trick or treating at Nana’s house, the 2007-2008 babies all met at the theatre for our photo shoot. This year we knew we were in for it! With only 2 non walkers, there was a lot of chasing and running around going on. We did manage to get one group shot, minus Mia, before escapees or meltdowns occurred. I think the video footage of all of the parents may be even funnier than looking at the photos we shot of the kids! Look out school recitals! The recital picture
Check out the escapee sequence below which literally happened all within 2 minutes...(featured in the pic: Cavenaugh, Sophia Mangione, Kyle Kempfert-Chapman sitting in Paul Mangione's lap, Isabelle, Mackenzie and Roxy and Jazzy Price behind them.
Watch "Cow-venaugh"...the escapee
Up he goes...
I am outta here...
See ya!
And, we lost them...
That night after chatting with our neighbors in our complex, we headed over to the Wiese’s for their annual Halloween Block Party. What a blast that was. They had 2 bounce houses; one big one for the older kids and a smaller one for our rugrats, ordered in Mexican food and chairs lining the driveways and they even blocked off that section of their street to any traffic. The girls were all over the place and Super Dad (literally, that was Michael’s costume equip with his red “Super Dad” shirt, camo pants, tool belt with all of the dad necessities including diapers, wipes, Lexi , a sippy cup, a baby blanket for a cape and of course, a flask of Jack!) was throwing them in and out of the bounce house all night. They couldn’t stop laughing.

We took Mackenzie and Isabelle out trick or treating the easy way...in push-able cars J The “bonnet” served as the candy collection place while the girls were seat belted in, cruising around being a bunch of lookie-loos. Then Amy and I decided it would be fun to play bumper cars with them and race up and down the street. The girls loved it and so did the other trick or treaters we ran by and we are sure that some of the older adults thought we were a little crazy but we didn’t care. The kids were in bed by 8:00 allowing for some adult Halloween time until around midnight when we headed home before turning into pumpkins.The girls
Trick Or Treat!
Trick Or Treat! We hope that everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween!
