Halloween Week!

What a busy, but fun week! Well, most of it. We did have to take Tyler to the doctor to find out he has a sinus infection. Poor little guy! He was miserable most of the week. We took him on Monday and he started the antibiotic right away, but he wasn't feeling any better until Friday. He actually kept getting worse! They have both had colds for about 8 weeks! Tyson was crying and seemed to be in pain when he got up on Friday, Halloween, so I made an appointment for him that afternoon. That was really going to put a kink in our festivities! But after a morning nap, he was fine! I cancelled the appointment and we were off to see the wizard! They are both doing much better now, just in time for another vacation! We leave tomorrow for Orlando! If we can roll enough coins, we'll be going to visit Mickey while we are there! Tyson will love it! His favorite show, and mine too, is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Well, here's a look into our week! Hope you all had a great Halloween! And I hope everyone remembered the time change and wasn't an hour early this morning!

Our festivities started last Saturday when we went to Hunsader's Farm in Bradenton. We saw lots of animals, went on a hayride, saw a motorcylce show, etc.




Tyson was putting the pumpkin on Tyler's head and saying Party Hat! I have no idea where he got that, but Tyler seemed to enjoy it!



On Tuesday evening, we carved pumpkins at Mimi and Pa's. They had bought a pumpkin for Tyson and one for Abby up in North Carolina. I don't know how you all carve pumpkins, but my dad has always used power tools to do ours. We've had some pretty amazing ones over the years!




On Wednesday, we were supposed to go to Awana's at church, but my little guys were too sick to go. So, just Dorothy went. Isn't she the most perfect Dorothy you have ever seen?! Toto's not too perfect. Was Toto red?



On Thursday, the boys and I met Abby and her class at a local pumpkin patch. We picked out a really cool pumpkin. It had bumps all over it! Tyson and I loved it. Derek, not so much. He said it had zits. I thought it was so neat because it had character. Then we went with Abby's class to the park to play and have lunch. Aunt Beth packed us a great lunch. We had a lot of fun!


On Friday, we carved our pumpkin with Derek. Tyler joined in the fun this time. He was too sick on Tuesday to help. I traced Tyson's hands for our Jack!



After we were done with that, we got ready and headed up to Venice to trick or treat at Aunt Kristyn's office. Her face was painted like a kitty cat.


Then we went to Derek's grandma and grandpa's house to trick or treat.




We headed back down to Port Charlotte after that. We picked Abby up and went home to take a quick nap before heading out again for the night. Dad came over and rode with us up to Sarasota to grandma and grandpa Sommers'. Aunt Kristyn met us there. Tyson couldn't wait to get one of grandma's cookies!



And our last stop of the night was grammy's house. My mom was waiting there for us with some delicious pizza! This has been our tradition for 3 years! We go see all the great grandparents!



I didn't get a good picture of my Wizard of Oz group. I'm going to get them into their outfits again next week. So, keep an eye out for Dorothy, the Lion, and the Tin Man!
