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.

Oh! That sounds terrible! Poor Meggie and Dillan can't go Trick or Treating! I'm sure you will find something fun for them to do. I hope Katie and Brendan have already had it. That would be REALLY hard to have all 4 of them out! I hope everyone is feeling better soon!
Oh Laurie!! I hope the gang is feeling better. Okay, this is my first "BLOG"!! I've decided to try and get caught up on technology! :>)
