Halloween

31/Oct2014 – halloween

Well this year certainly didn’t go quite as we had hoped. Belle woke up at 4:00 in the morning vomiting. I hoped so bad it was a fluke and she was fine but no such luck. For Belle, it’s so much more complicated than just a stomach bug because we start dealing with blood sugar issues. So with that stress along with feeling sad that she was missing out on Halloween after so much excitement just made for a miserable day.

The boys got up, and dressed up in their Mario and Luigi costumes before heading off to school. They were so excited for a day of fun and parties in the classroom. When I picked them up in the afternoon Max came running out showing me a skeleton he made, and Logan came running out with a face stained of blue icing. They couldn’t wait to get home and go trick or treating. They were really anxious to get out and get going.

As the time to go out trick or treating got closer, Belle was even more upset that she was not well enough to go. This sad face ripped me up:

So with the help of Daddy and the other kids, we did a special trick or treating inside. Upstairs, everyone picked a room and closed the door. We dressed Belle in her princess costume and we went door to door a few times around, knocking and saying “trick or treat!” We loaded up her bag with treats and then put her back to the couch since she lost her energy pretty quickly. Here’s a few pictures, and I’m so glad the kids had fun in making Belle’s Halloween special too

After Belle was finished her trick or treating, I took the other three kiddos out. Inside I just wanted to cry that we weren’t all together but the kids had a blast running from house to house yelling “trick or treat!” And Logan was so cute telling everyone to have a happy Halloween. We were out for about an hour and the kids came home with full bags.
