The Chaos Continues!!!

Well, Saturday we had our Halloween party for the kids. It was wild and we all had a good time. On Sunday, I took the 3 older kids to CCD as usual and walked down to the PX with Dillan. We met some friends of ours on the way in who immediately said,"What happened to him? Does he have chicken pox?" I said huh? and looked at Dillan's face which was covered in red spots--kinda looked like bites, but certainly didn't look like that when we left the house. We continued on cuz we weren't sure and I saw another friend (yep small post) and asked what she thought and she agreed with me--maybe. So when it was time to pick up the big ones I took him into Meghan's CCD teacher (she's a doctor) and said "Is this chicken pox?" I got a "Yep, I think so!" Then as we were leaving--trying to rush everyone out so we don't expose the world any more than we already have--I looked at Meghan and her face is covered in red dots--so I grab the teacher/dr. again and asked "her too?" and she said "Yep, and she didn't look like that 5 minutes ago, cuz I just washed her face!"

So, we are now at home for the week!!! They both feel fine--Dillan has a slight fever today--they are a little itchy, not bad. And believe it or not the pox are confined to their faces for the most part--Dillan has quite a few on his wrists and hands, Meghan has a couple on her arms. None on their tummies or backs which I find strange, but whatever. I guess they just have light cases.

Anyway, on other subjects. The guy is coming to pick up my car tomorrow so we will be driving Shane's car until 21 Dec. ICK!!

The older two kids will be going Trick or Treating with some friends since I can't take them--gotta figure out something special for Meghan at home since she can't go :( So sad! I'll still dress them up of course and take pictures--pox and all:)

All we have left of soccer is the final games on Saturday--all three kids play at the same time!! That should be fun! I'll have to see if I can even take Dillan and Meghan out yet--have to wait and see how quickly they heal.

I guess that's enough rambling. Until later.

LOTS of Pictures!!!!

Meghan and Dillan are so silly!!

Yeah, I'm cute!!

Meghan's first day of PreKindergarten wearing her FAVORITE dress. At home with her backpack, in front of her cubbie, and her first activity--looking at shells with a magnifying glass. She is having so much fun at school this year--comes home daily singing new songs and learns a new letter each week. Very exciting!

I can't believe Katie is 7!!!! Here is her Volcano Cake--yes it really erupted!! She loved it!
Yay!!! New rollerblades!! Thanks Mom!
A new purse and ducks from Daddy--can't beat that!
We built a salt dough volcano--and of course it erupted too. Volcano birthdays are so fun!

Brendan anxious to play on his team Lightning.

Katie's soccer team. The Red Dragons.

Meghan all ready to play on the Green Dragons (so original huh?? I think 1/2 the teams are the dragons)

As for what else is going on around here--We have been really busy with soccer, Brownies, and Webelos. Brendan is also in the choir at school so they are having practices for their Christmas show. Only 2 weeks left of soccer. I love watching the kids play and they have so much fun, but we are all getting really tired of running around daily so it will be a nice break when it's over.

We are going to have a Halloween party next weekend so we are also working on all the prep for that--getting costumes made, snacks, games,decorations--all that stuff. It should be a lot of fun. Well, on that note, I better get off of here and go get some things done.

Quick post

It has been awhile since I've written. We have been incredibly busy. I only have a couple of minutes, but thought I would type a bit quick and let everyone know we are alive and kickin'. Meghan started the PreK here--she goes every day from 9-2 and she is LOVIN' IT!!! She has been very well behaved--there anyway--and she is learning quite a bit already. She was sharing at the dinner table last night that she "learned about 'T'--it says t-t-t-t-t and starts tomato!!!" She was really excited. Her best buddy Tyler will be joining her class on Monday and boy are the 2 of them happy! Now if we can get her to remember that school is for learning and not hugging the boys:)

All 3 big ones are playing soccer so we are on the field M-F. They are all doing really well and having a great time. We will also be doing our next 5K on Saturday--my kids really have fun with those.

And lastly for today--I sold my car. The guy who is buying it is in Naples so I'm not exactly sure when he will come to pick it up--he wanted to this weekend, but I don't have all the legal stuff worked out yet so it will have to wait a bit. I'm just happy to have sold it--one less thing to worry about. Can't wait for the truck to get here!!! (Yes, I'll be driving Shane's hooptie until then)

Well, I'm off to pick up Meghan from school so that's it for today.
