Halloween!

This year both girls wanted to go as Disney characters. Claire chose Tinker Bell, which fits her perfectly because she looks like a little Tinker Bell.


Poor Abby had spiked a temp of 103 the night before and had thrown up all night. I took her to the doctor that morning and she has the flu (H1N1) and an ear infection, which the doctor said is very odd! This is the first time she has ever had the flu and WOW was she sick. She was so sick she could have cared less that she was missing Halloween. She did feel better enough that evening to sit on the couch and watch the kids get candy. The picture below is kind of deceiving because she does not look that sick...believe me, she was! We promised her we would take her out next weekend in her costume to do something fun.



Claire and her buddy Gilbert.


She totally got into trick or treating this year!! After every house she would run back to us and say "I got ANOTHER piece of candy!" That girl loves herself some candy!

It got a little chilly as the night went on, but she lasted the entire 2 hours with only one small pit stop to go to the bathroom and get bundled up more. She filled both her bucket and Abby's!

pumpkins and plays

I posted this one just cuz it is cute. Claire had said something crazy (shocking) that made Abby crack up!



Abby's class did the five little pumpkins play on Friday. Abby was the third pumpkin: "but we don't care!" She did awesome. My shy little Abby was not shy as all, and said her line very well. I couldn't get the video camera to work to get video of it :(. It is hard to believe that this is just hours before she got stricken with H1N1!




Here are some pictures from carving pumpkins. Here is Abby all into it. She decided not to carve hers she just drew all over it with marker.


And of course, Claire freaked out and wouldn't put her hands inside the pumpkin!
