So we are continuing with the state of busy here. This weekend we had a fall festival at the kids day care complete with game booths, silent auction, foods, petting zoo, pony rides, and prizes galore. The kids just loved it all....we have no pictures but trust me it was a good time for all. I think the highlight for Macy was the pony ride, Dale sank a teacher at the dunk tank on the first throw, and Reid riding to and from the carnival in Daddy's Jeep.

Macy and Reid having fun

Dale also had a football game immediately after the carnival and although they did not win...they played HARD...I had to miss the game and help at the festival but Duke said Dale is so entertaining to watch....dodging the other players and spinning and cutting... Dale had a great time and said afterwards "it is just a game....and we had fun," Duke said the other team was all bigger kids....as big as our biggest players if not larger....score was 18-6....at least we scored right.

My little man with his team

There he goes!

We then attended a Halloween Party at our neighbors house Saturday night.....much fun was had by all...good times and even better pictures were taken but will refrain from posting as to not tarnish any future political careers....hehehe you know who you are

Spidey, Princess, and Optimus Prime ...Reid wanted to save The flash for Halloween Night

Sunday we did the neighborhood pumpkin carving and we made a little monster, a goofy face an old school pumpkin.... the best tool had to be my battery operated pumpkin saw I got at Michaels for 8 bucks.....so fast and easy it made carving 3 pumpkins pretty easy.

Monday we went to the Dr. and got flu shots for the little crew....Dale and Macy took them like champs and Reid was last and cried..."Why did she hurt me?" The notion that it keeps you from getting sick is lost on the young child. And I really think that the shot is compromised when you have to go to the pediatrician to get it....where all the sick kids are....so my three healthy kids go play with the toys some kid just coughed all over with his undiagnosed strep.....hhhmmmm do I sound jaded maybe b/c Macy came down with a very speedy case of diarrhea tonight....the uncontainable, total surprise kind....she came to me with her brand new elmo undies and said...."I got Elmo yucky mommy." I put her on the potty and bathed the boys and told her I would clean her alone since she had diarrhea...for the rest of the night it was her in song no less..."I have diarrhea.....nope not time for diarrhea now....b/c I have diarrhea....oohh too late I have diarrhea....nothing more heartwarming than a convo about poo.

Now to add more insult to injury when changing them for baths Macy has a huge red lump from the flu shot. I gave her Benedryl all night hoping for the best and woke up the same today....it looks like someone slapped her little leg but it is HOT and hard. I call the pediatrician and she says could be a reaction, or infection from the shot itself or even the needle....we would like to see her. So 30 mins later we see the Dr and yes it is in fact an infection looks like from the shot or needle....need meds. Clendymician....which is a YUCKY tasting concoction even with flavoring from the pharmacist, and it will most likely give her diarrhea.....yea more songs to come soon I am sure. And to top it off.....my parents will have the kids this weekend so Duke and I can go visit Troy and Carolyn so I feel bad that I will have to burden Grandma and Bepaw with Nasty medicine 3 times a day and funky poo.....now that sounds like fun in a bottle!!!
