Harvest Happenings

Here is what has been happening in our neck of the woods lately:

-Me. Dentist Appointment. Not a good combination. I needed 4 teeth filled (2 of them wisdom teeth). I had a hard time with the 4-6 shots the dentist gave me (I lost count), and I started tearing up, so the dental assistant sprayed a piece of Kleenex with lavendar spray and layed it over my face for a few minutes.  It immediately calmed me.  Who knew?!  (Oh yes, and now I have to go back because I seem to have an infection in one of those teeth - lovely.)

-Jaden.  Ear infection.  Double ear infection. Sinus infection.  Antibiotics.  6 nights with us in bed.  Need I say more?  Rough week.

-Micah. Ear check up.  Ears are clear of fluid and hearing is great!!!  Awesome news after having surgery 5 months ago.

-Due to Jaden's sickness, I had to cancel almost all of our "Harvest" plans all week.  But we did make it to a Harvest Party on Halloween, then a potluck, and then we trick-or-treated around our neighborhood. We have SO much candy left over, which has made for tantrums, cravings at odd times of day, and fighting.  Tomorrow it goes!!

We have a rather odd pumpkin patch near our house. Rather than try to explain, I think I'll just let the pictures speak louder than words:









Um, Ewwww, Gross:


But at least they had fun, right?



Trick or Treating

Batman and Thomas the Train had a great night!!
