Well, we of course had an interesting past few days. Thursday I got a call from the school nurse that Aaron had thrown up. Poor Baby. When I got there she said that there was a stomach bug going around, one minute you are fine and the next not so much. Apparently when you throw up at school you can't come back the next day, so he missed the costume parade and the Halloween Party. Hm..He didn't seem to notice though because all day Friday we played video games. And by Saturday he was totally better.
Friday night was fun. We got the kids dressed up and ready to trick or treat. I had to take tons of pictures which the kids were not fond of but oh well. Andy took the kids up and down the street and I passed out the candy. One good thing about an army base is there are set times to trick or treat and then it's over, so no one rings your doorbell a hundred times. Anyway, Andy said they were really cute and very polite. I sat on the swing in front of our house and talked with the trick or treaters. I let the kids pick their treat and most of the kids only took one. I did have a few that took a whole handful, but almost all only took one. It's a good neighborhood. After a while the kids and Andy came back and Kara ran up to me all excited and tried to grab more candy from our bowl. I let them have first pick of a treat before they went out but I guess Kara didn't understand the only one from our house rule. We were totally out of candy after 30 minutes and I passed out four bags of candy. YIKES. Then we came inside and tried to take more pictures. We put Kara's little outfit back on and she got all excited and yelled, "More Candy!!!" We did tell her we were just taking pictures, but she was still miffed that we didn't go out and get more. Hm..
Saturday we went to a chili festival on post, which was nice. Aaron and Andy got to go for a helicopter ride. Kara was too small so she and I did the bouncy houses and looked at the fire truck. She was upset though. She really wanted to ride in the helicopter.
