Happy Halloween everyone. Friday evening the 3 younger kids and I went to the school carnival. They dressed up in their costumes and played some games, ate some pizza, and had faces painted. They had fun somewhat. Jessie is very slow and by the time we got to the games they were closing up and she did not get to very many games. Jake kept wondering off on his own and we had to keep searching for him and Kaelyn threw a fit over having to help find him. but the girls loved getting their hands painted with henna. and Jake loved all the games. they came home with a small baggie full of little prizes and candy.

Saturday was Halloween and we were crazy busy. Jake was suppose to have a soccer game but did not feel well when he got up. Sometime in the middle of the night he banged his head pretty good on his bed and when he woke up he had a headache. So they did not go to the game. I had work and then came home and picked up everyone (except Sean). the 3 younger kids all had Dr. apt. Kaelyn just had a recheck for her asthma (she was wheezing a little at her check up and needed to have it re-checked to make sure that the medicine was working). She also had to have couple of shots that some how she missed when she was younger. Her paediatrician did not give them to her and it was not caught until we switched Dr.'s so now we get to play catch up with her. She was I think 54" tall and weighed about 66 lbs.

Jake and Jessie had their Well child checks. Jake up grew 3 inches this past year but still can not get out of the 25th percentile. he was 44 or 45 ". can'[t remember and he was 47 lbs. And believe it or not he finally went up a size in pants. yeah he is now wearing size 6 slims. And of course he had to get his flu shot and that did not go over well. he also had to have blood drawn and well he put up quite a fit. It took 2 of us to hold him down after we had to catch him. As soon as he found out that he was getting a shot he took off out the door, down the hall way and hid in a corner. What fun. Jessie was 40 lbs and I thing was 42" She also had to get her polio booster and the flu shot and was OK at first. She kept saying that she wanted 2 but then as soon as it was her turn she put up a little fight but not too bad. Even Erik and I got our flu shots. And Sean already got his just before school started.

After the Dr. appointments we took Kaelyn and Jessie to gymnastics (Jessie had a make-up and Kaelyn was at High flyer's). We then went to the dollar store to get a few things we needed for Halloween and then got dinner and then home to get ready. We picked up their cousin Will and went trick or treating. The kids had fun. Jessie tuckered out after about 20 min and Kaelyn was whining a bit as well. but the boys where running and did not want to stop and so Kaelyn continued with them but Jessie stooped and went to Grandma and Grandpa's to rest and wait for the rest of us. Sean decided to spend his Saturday with friends. they took the bus down town and terrorized people at pioneer square and then back to our side of town and eventually home with couple of his friends to watch a movie. (he is getting too old)

Sunday was church-work. Kaelyn was presented with a new bible and was pretty excited that dad went and stayed most of the time. We then headed home for some lunch and then off to the movie at the joy cinema (school fundraiser, 10 movies, 1 per each week, for $9 adults accompanied children free). We watched Race to Witch Mountain which we did not think was not meant for young kids. Kaelyn did not like parts of it because it was too scary, and Jake thought it was a great movie because of the shooting and fighting the aliens but was scared at some parts. Jessie was bored and kept climbing from my lab to Erik's and then back to me. We then went to Erik's parents for birthday celebrations. Some weekend we will not have anything planned and stay home and rest or do nothing. Enjoy the pictures. There are some from the summer. I finally got the pictures off grandpa's camera. there are photos from our trip to eagle crest, kaelyn horse back riding, Erik and Jessie's trip to Kansas and Halloween.
