Halloween, Swine and so much more!

Let me preface this post by letting you know why it's almost mid November and I am just now finishing up posting about our October festivities! In short, we've been battling swine flu since Halloween night! It started with Logan, I sent Ryan to my parents to keep him healthy and he still ended up getting sick a couple of days later. When my mom called to tell me he had fever, I knew it would be swine too, but what I didn't realize is that my mom would get sick also! Thankfully Jeff and I have stayed healthy, but we do have prescriptions for Tamiflu sitting on the counter should either of us spike a fever!

So, let me get you all caught up on what happened BEFORE H1N1 infested our home!

Let's go in order...

FALL FESTIVAL

Getting this pic was pretty funny... this is just the best one!
Crime fighters!

Don't think Ryan liked his mask very much!

Logan loved his costume!

Showing off his muscles!

How cute are these princesses?
The cutest triplets ever!

Playing some carnival games

Climbing on the obstacle course...

and finishing on the slide!

The only time he was still was when he had to wait in line for the obstacle course!

This is pretty much what we saw the whole time we were there.

Logan had a blast! He made it very clear that he was not ready to leave when it started getting dark and we headed to the car! I'm sure he's already looking forward to next year's festival!


A DAY AT THE FARM
Next in that week came our playgroup outing to Old McDonald's Farm. This was such a fun time for all of us. Thanks so much to mom for watching Ryan so that Logan and I could really enjoy our time with friends!

I would like to let you know that I did not make or even suggest that the little cowboy wear the cowboy hat. When we woke up that morning and I told Logan we were going to the farm for the day, he immediately went on the search for his cowboy hat. He wore it around the house from 7:30am, through the drive to my parents' house and kept it on the whole day! I surely didn't think that would happen, but am very grateful that I didn't end up having to carry it!

I LOVE this picture! He looked up to watch the birds and I just had to snap it... looks like he's saying the pledge, doesn't it?

After the farm, I ran some errands and the boys hung out at my mom's house.
How cute is this?

HALLOWEEN
The night before Halloween,
Logan spent the night at my parents' house.
He LOVES his train table there and as you can see, Husky now goes everywhere with him... even on the tracks!
And before coming home to go trick or treating, this is when the symptoms of swine started to show themselves. Poor kid was in for a rough night!

Ready to go trick or treating!
Poor kid was so excited, did about 3 houses and decided he was done. He tried to go again and again with each of us, but the costumes freaked him out a bit and it was very obvious that he wasn't feeling really well. He ended up sitting with us to hand out candy for awhile and then joined Grandpa and Daddy inside watching the UT game.
