Halloween

Well, as you can tell things have been busy, but I did promise to write about Halloween so here it is. Being at a children's hospital for Halloween was a blast! Around 9 am they came around and told everyone that there would be face painting and stuff in the play room. So S3 and I went down to play. Well, they also had an assortment of costumes for the kids to dress up in for the day. They were all donated so they made us take them home. S3 was an ER doc so we wrapped gauze around my head and painted a bloody spot on it. Then at 10:30 am they had a Halloween party where the kids got to parade their outfits and eat sugar cookies iced like pumpkins and drink apple cider. After this it was back to our room because S3 was ready to nap.

We originally were told we might go home on Tuesday, which was Halloween, but since he hadn't been eating or drinking very well they decided to keep us one more day. Also, they removed the drain from S3's head Tuesday morning. Well, S3 woke up just in time to get dressed again and go trick or treating around the hospital around 2 pm. He came away with quite the haul of candy, toys and trinkets. He had a blast and everyone thought he was the cutest little ER doc. After Trick or Treating it was time for another nap.

He ate well at dinner and breakfast so first thing Wednesday morning they discharged us. He acquired two new stuffed animals and a blanket from the hospital plus we had all the Halloween stuff, my stuff and of course the killer balloon from Grandma F - tropical fish "swimming" inside a clear balloon.

If you want to see pictures, you can go to my new photo blog. It is where I will post photos of the kids and such. It is easy to remember because it is www.momstampsphotos.blogspot.com. I will also try to get a link up to it from this page. Also, not all my pictures are there because for some reason it says it is uploading certain pics but then they aren't there and I don't have the brain power to figure it out now!

Anyway, things have been going great and except for being bald and the scar, you never would have known that S3 had surgery - okay and his head shape but I am talking about in all other aspects than physical. We have enjoyed having Grandma W here to help out with the boys and helping around the house. She'll be here until Wednesday when she leaves for her sister's home in WA. S3 has his follow up appointment on Tuesday and we'll let you know how that goes.
