Trick or germs
We take a break from our regularly scheduled swine flu update to bring you this special Halloween Report. But before we get to that, wanted to update everyone that Jack has joined me in the world of pork and came down with the H1N1 early this morning. Fever of 101, hacking cough and complaints that his chest and throat hurt bought him a stay-home-from-school pass that came with his very own day o' TV. I watched eight hours of kids' TV today. Eight hours that kept him quiet on the couch and me happy next to him with my laptop.
He was holding steady at 102 degrees tonight before bed, so we're looking at another day home tomorrow followed by a scheduled day off of school on Friday, making this a five-day weekend. Whoo-hoo?
Anyway, back to our special report.
Trick or Treat, or shall I say Trick or Germs, was awesome for both kids this year. Jack was an old pro and Emmie picked it up very quickly. After the second house, she realized people would give her shiny wrapped objects if she said the magic words, so she started saying, "tick teet" without being prompted and "tank you" about 50 percent of the time. Jack took charge, boldly going up to the houses and would have probably done the whole street by himself if we let him.
It was freezing, but everyone had a great time. Daddy was offered beer at one house and Mommy pilfered a full-size Twix from Emmie's bag. All in all, a solid outing once again.
Happy Halloween!
We met up with some friends from the neighborhood. Notice Emmie has her eye on their candy.
No, I don't WANT a sucker. I want M 'n Ms.
My parents never let me have candy. Just wait til they find out I am planning to eat all of it.
Jesus Mommy, you are so embarrassing making me hold your hand. Can't you just stand over there so I can pretend I don't know you?
People, I am a DRAGON. Not a dinosaur. Have you ever seen a dinosaur with wings? Stop being stupid.
Nooooo, not the Three Musketeers, Emmie! Don't you know you always go straight for the Milky Ways?
OMG, who stuffed a pumpkin under that woman's shirt? Oh wait. That's actually Mommy's belly. Nevermind.

Great post. I love the pics. My daughter was a bumble bee three years running because she loved the costume so much. I'll pray for Jack. I know the porky flu is worse on little kids than anyone else. And you look amazing for being 8 months pregnant.
We are oinking here too - both Maggie and my husband have it. So far I have been spared. At least Jack got to enjoy Halloween before getting sick! Very cute costumes! I love the look of realization that if they ring the bell - someone will give them candy!!
You do look amazing! Sorry about the sick kiddo! Great Halloween pictures.
oh good lord - you don't even LOOK pregnant. You look like me on a GOOD day after I've eaten a big burrito, and I'm nowhere near 8 months pregnant (or pregnant at all).
You're so darn cute! Love the dinosaur with wings caption-- srsly. My niece wore the same costume as Emmie-- too, too cute!
Poor Jack :( Hope he feels better soon (and you, of course)
I was so sorry to hear Jack was sick as well. Sometimes Kids' TV is a-ok.
Um, yeah, you're fantastically gorgeous and barely noticeably pregnant. Lucky brat.
So adorable!
Adorable pics! Hope your weekend improves quickly!
What a beautiful family! And what's up with the Almond Joy's? No kid likes Almond Joys. Those are for Mommy.
great pics. Love your little "bump" =)
great pictures! You look fabulous!
