Halloween has come and gone. It's hard to believe the next holiday is Christmas! For Halloween, we participated in a number of activities. In the afternoon, we went to the mall in Moose Jaw. Each store was giving out candy. The girls loved it, and the sales people loved our costumes.
We have a tradition of dressing up as a family. Each year we have a different theme, and each of us dress as a member. This year was the Wizard of Oz. Rebekah, of course, was Dorothy, Chloe the cowardly lion, Glynn the tin man, and I was the scarecrow. We hope this will become a memory that our kids will cherish. After the mall, we picked up pizza, which is another yearly tradition. It's actually about the only time of year we order pizza.
After supper, we headed out to do some trick or treating. Rebekah seemed to be wearing down quickly, and after about a street and a half she had had enough. Rebekah had a fever.
Rebekah was sick all of last week with the flu. We're not sure if it was H1N1. Chloe received her immunization for it last week. Rebekah couldn't because she was sick. However, she'll be getting her immunization this week. Chloe was also sick lastweek, as was I. I missed work Tuesday and Wednesday, which is difficult when you teach chemistry. This week is midterm week, and next week report cards.
We're finally back on top of the housework. On the weekend Glynn made a beautiful window seat storage center for our family room. There are benefits to being married to a carpenter! So he could work, I took the girls to Regina for the day. They got to enjoy a day at grandma's house, and I spent the day Christmas shopping.
