This has been a crazy week. Parker decided to get sick about a week ago and has now passed it on to Luke who has lost his voice and sounds terrible. Good thing about all of it is everyone is still in good moods and have been getting along for the most part and understands what it means when I say "He doesn't want to play. He doesn't feel good, he is sick." That has made things a lot easier around here with two sick kids.
As for Lee and I we are both fighting off the urge to get sick. We leave in a week to go on our weekend getaway to Gatlinburg and do NOT want to be sick!
Halloween was so much fun this year and we are now looking forward to the rest of the holiday season! Parker had fun with his costume this year. He was Batman and very proud of the fact that he pick it out himself. We had to hide the costume from him because he was wanting to wear it all day everyday, but now that Halloween is over we have given him the freedom to wear it when ever he wants (and he does!) Luke on the other hand was supposed to be a puppy dog. I had picked out the cutest little costume and had planned on painting his nose black, the whole deal. But he refused to wear the costume and decided he wanted to be a firefighter. Luckily we had a costume from Parker last year. Next year Lee and I are going to dress up! I am thinking the Flintstones!
Saturday morning was FUN! We went as a family to Tate Farms! It was great to go as a family and see friends while we were there. Parker, Luke, and I all took a ride on the corn train and had a blast. The tractor driver was a little crazy which made for an interesting and fun ride. Lee and Luke had a blast sliding down a HUGE slide, in fact Luke was all over going over and over again. Parker loved the slide made out of an old combine tractor and it was hard to get him away from it. By the time we left both boys and Daddy were exhausted and took a nice long nap!
Unfortunately when everyone woke up that afternoon to get ready for Trunk or Treat at church Parker had a fever. So Luke and I went and had a blast! We missed the chili cook-off like they would normally have but really enjoyed the games and activities that they had set up instead. As for Trick or Treating we did go on Sunday night. The boys had a blast even though Parker was still sick. Lee and his brother-in-law took the boys trick or treating and said that after a few houses Luke laid on a driveway and had a breakdown and Parker informed them that he was done trick or treating. Even with the drama everyone still had a great time this Halloween.
