Halloween

So tomorrow I will be putting some pictures up of the boys and their costumes but tonight I thought I would write a little about it. We went to a house and the lady answered the door was was very sweet giving candy to the boys then the husband came round the corner with a mask on. Samuel jumped back to me and Andy started screaming but eventually stopped and stood there shaking. The lady made her husband take the mask but he still stood there scared and would not move up to get candy.

Anyway as we were leaving Andy told me "The dog was scary Daddia, the dog scared me." To find out the husband was holding their dog so it would not run out of the house. The scary mask did not bother it it was the dog he was carrying.

Also our neighbor hood is typically sprawling with people and a ton of houses with lights on. We went down one of the longest streets to only see 2 houses with lights and hardly any children anywhere. It really made me realize how many houses were vacant waiting to be remodeled. So I will blame the housing department for my, I mean the boys, lack of chocolate that they received this year for me, uh them, to snack on til Christmas. I think I will only make it til the 13th of November. :o( On a side note we only had a few kids drop by but that is normal since we are on the outskirts and up a hill from the main body of houses, too bad I did not buy any chocolate this year.

Mommy's Bday

Well Mommy got home the night before her Bday (today) at close to midnight from her training. The time before then has been filled with Doctor's apartments and sick boys so I have not had time to write a lot.

With that said, Samuel was sick on Sunday (threw up in the morning) so we did not make it to church. Well Wednesday our preacher called to see how we were doing (to find out why we skipped :o) and when I informed him of Samuel throwing up and I did not want to take care of 3 boys and one throwing up during services by my self he said he would announce it so they could pay for him Wednesday night. I said he was doing fine now but he insisted. Well I do not know what he asked them to pray for but I guess it was for payback for skipping Sunday because at 3 this morning we woke up to Samuel yelling with an exaggerated choking sound (which is what he makes when he throws up) It ended up that he was throwing up again and threw up 4 times before 10 AM, and had diarrhea til 1 pm.

I had given him a bucket to throw up in after the 2nd time if he could not make it to the toilet. Well he had come up to me a few hours later and said "Look Daddio, I am all better and am not throwing up anymore, I can now go to school." But before he could get the ool on school out he threw up.

Poor guy, he was so determined to going to school today that he was trying everything to get
better and fast. Poor Mommy because she was excited about bringing him to school for the first time today since he started 2 days after she left for her training.

Well today was Mommy's Bday so I made some non alergies cupcakes with dr pepper instead of eggs and milk. These cakes never rise so I filled the cupcake cups to the top but I guess cherry dr pepper rises a little so they had huge but lat tops. making them look like mushrooms. The cool thing about cooking them like this is the cake still tastes really good (used to taste like bananas, applesauce or not so good because we used rice milk). We have also gotten good responses from others about it who did not realize we made it like that because of the boys allergies. Anyway with a cupcake it is hard to fit candles on one for people over 5, but I managed to fit an unnamed amount of candles, but enough to cover her age onto one cupcake. You can see the result below.

Also for the fun of it I have included a picture of Asher stealing and eating Andy's jumbo hotdog.

On this day a year ago, Samuel informed me I do not need to wear my jacket because it was not snowing outside.
