Our Halloween didn't turn out the way we planned this year. My friends Margaret and Alisa invited our family to their annual Halloween party and trick-or-treating for the kids, but Brett got sick on Thursday and ran a fever until Saturday morning, so we decided he better stay home. So Jace and I were headed toward the Halloween festivities when we realized Jace had pink eye! Don't know how I missed that while spraying his hair black and putting a scar on his forhead, but I did...so, we decided we better not go, either.
But both boys did go trick-or-treat at Grandma's and our friends next door to them, the Boothe's. We got home, ate Chick-fil-a for dinner, put drops in Jace's eye (luckily I had some from last time he had pink eye), and then Matt took Jace to the neighborhood next to ours anyway because he was super sad about not going to the party and I put Brett to bed. Anyway, they both did get to dress up, but it wasn't how we planned it to be!!! Here they are in their costumes...
Jace as Harry Potter...good, huh?
Brett as Qui-Gon Jinn from Star Wars...same costume from last year, different name! I'm glad Jedi's generally dress the same!
My poor little guy...you can see it in his eyes that he just didn't feel great!
And when we left for church, it was kind of misty, rainy outside but definitely not pouring, and when we came out of church it was still rainy, a little harder than before, but nothing big. When we got home, the boys asked to go check the creek (we have a creek bed behind our house that is normally dry and they always want to check to see if water is in it every time it rains). Anyway, we found the water higher than we've seen it so we must have gotten plenty of rain while we were gone. The video isn't very good except that under my narration, you can hear the water, which is cool, but the main thing is that you can see the in-progress tree house!
