Happy Halloween & then some...

Wow - this last week has been absolutely crazy at our house. Last Monday morning Nate woke up sick (and I mean the yucky sicky) and Mark was feeling under the weather, too. So, they both stayed home and tried to get better. Tuesday, Nate showed signs of getting better and Mark was on antibiotics for strep throat, so all was getting better. Then on Wednesday, Nate started to feel ill again, but because there was no fever and he was keeping food down, he went to the sitter, where he proceded to share his germs. Thursday, Lynnette (his sitter) was sick, so Mark and Nate stayed home again! Halloween Friday all was good and we had a great time.

Here are some photos of Nate as Tigger and Mark as a bigger Tigger (that was last minute and turned out really well). Nate was so excited when he saw himself in the mirror as Tigger, and then more excited when he saw Daddy as Tigger.

As they went out tirkc-or-treating on the busiest Halloween street in town, I stayed at our friends' house with some other moms and handed out more than 5 bags of candy. Wow! We barely get 5 trick-or-treaters at our house each year!




After a busy Halloween, we headed up to Dubuque on Saturday morning to help Mark's Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Bob move. By the time we got there at only 9:30 a.m., almost everything was moved already! That made for an easier day than I expected! Nate had a great time playing with all of his cousins and other relatives who were there. There sure is no shortage of attention for our little man. Nate also spent a great deal of time pulling Gandma all over by her fingers so he could show her this and that and play with just about everything. I think both Nate and Gandma had a great time!
