Halloween 2012

Happy Halloween!!!

We met up with our friends and walked the Harber loop again this year.  It seems the group just grows more and more each year and so does the fun!

These are the outfits the kids wore to school.

Thanks for the bat shirt Nona!

Pianalto Hayride 2012

Saturday afternoon the Pianalto's had a potluck and hayride.  This was a first for Colton and Taylor.  We all had a great time!  The kids got to play together while the adults caught up (as much as we could between feeding babies, changing diapers, etc).  Kraig was playing in a golf tournament so all the guys pitched in and helped me wrangle the older kids when needed.  Thanks for having us Casey, Justin, Colby and Ava!  Thanks for taking pictures for me Stacy, Lindsey and Jason!

I didn't get many pictures of Lauren because she didn't want to sit by me...she wanted to sit by Mr Jason on the back.

Colton wanted to hold my hand (and I wanted to hold his) the whole hayride!  I loved it!

Chewing on her hands (they hayride put her to sleep!)

Colton kept blocking his eyes from the sun so I gave him my sunglasses.  He only wore them for a short time and gave them back but I had to take a picture.  Love this boy!

Lauren Has Strep

Lauren started complaining her throat hurt Sunday morning.  I thought it was just allergies since the weather keeps switching back and forth from hot to cold and back again so I didn't think much of it.  Monday when I picked her up from school she was still saying it hurt but she was not running a fever so I still thought it was just allergies.  By Monday night she was not wanting to eat because it hurt and was more tired than normal.  So I called the Dr office and they luckily were still open but didn't have an appointment until 8:30 pm.  Kraig took her while I stayed home with Colton and Taylor.  It turns out she had strep.  :-(  So the doctor gave us a prescription for antibiotics.  Kraig dropped it off at Walgreens and came home.  Lauren went to bed around 9:30 but the prescription wasn't ready until 10:30...so I picked up the prescription, woke Lauren up (she was totally out of it btw), gave her the meds and went to bed around 11.  We all slept great that night and she stayed home from school Tuesday.  By Tuesday afternoon and 2 rounds of meds she was feeling great!

Stats:

43.44 lbs

44.88 inches

She fell asleep on the doctors table while waiting for him to see her.

Colton's 3rd Birthday Party - Chuck E Cheese

Sunday afternoon we celebrated Colton's 3rd birthday a little early.  He wanted a Chuck E Cheese party even though he has never been (except when I was pregnant with him.  Click here for that party).  The only thing he knew about it was from TV commercials he has seen.  It's a little crazy in there because there are other parties going on right next to you but the kids had a great time and Colton got to spend time with his friends and play games!

Thanks for celebrating with us!
