Happy Halloween 2011!
We started off Halloween weekend with the arrival of Grandma from Ohio on Thursday afternoon. Everyone was so excited to see her! Unfortunately, I had a negative reaction to the Tdap vaccine, so I wasn't feeling great upon her arrival. But after an evening of rest, I felt much better and was able to enjoy the weekend.
On Friday, Trey and I went to work, so Grandma stayed home with the girls. I came home to an amazing surprise--Grandma had done all the laundry! That night we enjoyed pizza and Halloween cupcakes--two of Reagan's favorite things! Although I was feeling better, it was clear that Madilynn was not feeling good. We called the nurse on Friday afternoon, and she said her symptoms (low-grade fever, fussiness, wanting to be constantly held) sounded like teething. However, after a long night and little sleep, we decided to take her to the pediatrician Saturday morning. We were so happy we made that decision because my poor baby was suffering from her first ear infection. We immediately started her on antibiotics, but Saturday was another long night. It was horrible listening to her cry in pain and not being able to do anything about it.
My mom and I were able to cram in some quick shopping and some errands, so it was nice to have a few hours with her on Saturday afternoon.
Sunday morning we all went to church, then Trey worked for a few hours. We were able to relax around the house that afternoon. Trey also carved the amazing haunted house into the pumpkin to get ready for Halloween the next day!

Monday morning Trey and I were off to work, Reagan was off to school for some Halloween fun, and Madilynn stayed home with Grandma. That afternoon we all met at ACP for Reagan's Trick-or-Treat party at school. All of the children dress up in their costumes and trick-or-treat to each classroom. It was so much fun!

Halloween night we headed out trick-or-treating around 5:45. We left a little earlier than expected because rain was in the forecast. We had only gone to a few houses when it began sprinkling. So Grandma took Madilynn home, while Trey and I continued on with Reagan. Even though we got wet, Reagan had a blast. She yelled "Trick-or-Treat" at every house and remembered to say thank you. And as soon as we were leaving one house she would immediately ask, "Are we going to another house so I can get lots and lots of candy?!" After nearly an hour in the rain, we decided to call it a night and head home. Reagan enjoyed one treat before it was time for bed. It was a great Halloween!
