Halloween!!

We had tons of fun all week long!
On Tuesday evening, the boys finally got their tae kwon do uniforms. They've really been enjoying the extra time together. They look super cute too!




Katie wanted to get in on the fun too!

Wednesday, I had an OB appt. Katie came along and actually behaved herself quite well. Baby is looking great! Next appt is in a month, 16wks to go! That night, Mimi came over for dinner. I made a super easy, yummy casserole, but unfortunately, not Buggy safe. We had to have something special for Bugs, so I made some gluten free dairy free peanut butter cookies. All they took was 1 cup (natural) peanut butter, 1 (free range) egg, and 1 cup (organic) sugar. Of course, they were a hit! I made a second batch for Katie to share at daycare the next day.




Thursday was not quite as much fun for me. Because my asthma is always a bit of a pain while I'm pregnant, my lungs are still trying to recover from having the flu. I thought I was feeling much better and headed out for a walk (in the cold and drizzly rain) on Wed evening. I ended up jogging home because it started pouring on me. That night I started having more trouble breathing again and some concerning chest pain. It intensified while I was at work Thur morning, so I went to the ER and was startled to see both mine and baby's heart rate was really high. Some O2 brought them both down and I got some IV steriods and a breathing treatment. I have a steriod to take for a few more days and am to do breathing treatments as needed. Guess I'll be sticking to the Wii Fit for exercise because the cold night air tightens up my chest immediately and I really want to avoid any more time hanging out in the ER.

Although I would have much rather stayed home and rested, on Friday evening, Kelton and I headed out to Build A Bear. I had promised him we could go and make a bear for his little brother (because I had a coupon). He had so much fun making Katie's bunny for her bday and had been asking to go again ever since.




Kelton was so excited to wake up on Saturday morning because it was finally Halloween! I'd been waiting all week to hit up the big sale at Dillons. I didn't save my reciept, so I don't remember down to the penny, but we got all this stuff for right about $22. I totally made Eric high five me on the way out!


It was such a beautiful day!
We couldn't have asked for better weather!

My last year to wear my pumpkin belly.

Mimi, Aunt Sarah and Layla came over to trick or treat with us again this year. Of course, Mimi brought Halloween presents.





Since Katie is so limited on what treats she can have, Aunt Sarah brought her some cotton candy!


As always, matching jams! Baby boy already has a pair of skeleys to wear for next halloween!

We were so pleasantly surprised that Katie wore her costume (after wrestling her to get it on and bribing her with candy) the entire evening. She looked so cute!


We also had a Kyle Busch and a kitty cat!



Kelton is always such a good big brother. He was so happy to take Katie trick or treating with him and made sure that she got candy in her bag at each house.


At one point, she decided she wanted all the candy in Kelton's bag too and it was almost impossible to pry her away from it.


Layla turned the big 4 on Monday. Still loaded up on a sugar high from yesterday, we went over to celebrate with cake and ice cream. Her favorite thing right now is My Little Pony, so she had a Pony Party. She gots lots of new ponys and a creepy Fur Real Cat. She had lots of fun and shared all of her new presents very nicely!


Since regular cake and ice cream are not something Katie can have, Mimi bought her some special ice cream. She's always great about remembering to find something "Katie safe".



While we're still working on a middle name, we decided on a first name for baby boy awhile back. Kelton was doing an awesome job keeping it a secret until wicked Aunt Sarah told him that his mommy said it was okay to tell her. So I guess the cat's outta the bag, but they're sworn to secrecy and everyone else has to wait until we can decided on a middle name.
