Halloween

Molly and Paul planned our meal for tomorrow night. They looked through all my fun little halloween/fall recipe booklets I have.

They decided on Mummy hotdogs, Sloppy Joe pizzas, Mashed potatoe monsters,Witches Brew punch, and Pumpkin cake balls for dessert! Molly has a countdown going on and according to her she is going trick or treating tonight lol!! I like that she is looking forward to it though!!

This week

Well this has been an interesting week. Nick stayed home from school on Monday. He was very tired said he had a headache and stomach ache along with a stuffy nose and a slight cough. So I pretty much gave him Dayquil and Nyquil. Tuesday he said he felt better but his stomache hurt and head hurt still. I told him he could stay home again and I would make a doctors appointment for him. he chose to go to school. I still made the doctor appointment. So, i really expected a call to pick him up but he made it through the day. He is ALWAYS home from school before I leave to get Molly and wouldnt you know he wasnt home when i left? So of course my mom instincts kick in and i was convinced he was dead in the school. I called Paul to let him know Nick was missing. lol I then went to get Molly from school(narrowly missing being killed by a drunk driver on the way) and then drove to the high school I prayed the whole way that he would be outside the school not that I have to go in and do a complete search for him. he was there!!! Turns out he had to take a test and he called the house after I had already left. He did not remember my cell phone number to call that! So we get him home and got him to the doctors. Long story short he had a very high fever along with pneaumonia and tonsilitis. poor kid!!! But he now has a inhaler and antibiotics so he is perking up a bit! We will be laying low for the next few days though! He is home from school today and tomorrow and returns to the doctor on Friday.

a few fun days!

Thursday was fun because I had one of those "very rare for me" nights out! My friend jen and i went out for a nice dinner(except for a darn fly that would NOT leave us) and then we headed over to the Taste of Home cooking show. I guess it was the very first one they had in Michigan!! I would definitly go again! They picked 10 recipes to cook for us and out of those ten only 2 were ones that I wouldnt consider for my family! So that was pretty good!! They also had goodie bags for us that included two of the magazines, and since we ordered VIP tickets we got a Breakfast cookbook also we got to order a free subscription to either the monthly magazine or the Holiday editions! I chose the Holiday ones because I dont currently get them! I was really happy to have such a fun night out with a good friend!
Saturday Nick participated in his first Bible quiz meet. I think he had a lot of fun! It sure was a long day and it required lots of thinking and memorizing and recalling information! His Novice team took second place out of 6 teams!! Good for them!!
