The sickness I had at the beginning of September (the nasty snot-wad cough and stomach pains during my race over the mountain) the rest of the family came down with last week. Luckily Everett got over it pretty quickly but it lingered longer for Jake and even longer for Breckie.
She doesn't have a pain tolerance at all, so it was really hard to gauge exactly how sick she was. But one night she puked for an entire hour and ended dry heaving the night away. Sadly she puked until things were coming out both ends.
Then we knew she was really sick.
She missed three days of school this week.
But luckily she was feeling much better by trunk-or-treat tonight.
She was an adorable witch, Everett was black panther, and Roxy was a mermaid.
The kids always look forward to fun stuff like this and had a good time. Then the candy sorting and trading and negotiating followed tonight :)
It's so fun to have kids their ages during the holidays!
