Dragging......

I feel like I am just dragging my body through the house today. Sarah has had a cold since last week and it has finally caught up to me. She has been home most of the week from school coughing and with a sore throat. Right now my head is the part that is hurting the most. I feel like someone has just hit me with a 2 by 4!!! We will survive. The kids are all getting flu shots next week and I will be following shortly after in hopes of having an almost sick free winter:)

So we had a fun Halloween this year!!! Brandon and Karen came over to spend the night with us and it was a blast!!! Jessica was a witch, Sarah was a princess, Jacob was a vampire and Georgia was a monkey by day and a cat by night!!! Jacob really got into the tricker treating this year and really would have gone forever. Georgia dragged her bag from door to door and seemed to enjoy watching all the treats going in. After going around our neighborhood we headed our to our friends Jessica & Luke's for a little Halloween gathering. It was a full house, with lots of treats kicking around. Jake and I also trick or treated on their street, probably did most of it. He had one good scare at a house as the guy was dressed in a scary costume. I was then the buffer to make sure no more houses had "monsters". It was priceless!!! What a kid!!!

It's hard to believe that November is here and that we are into Christmas mode. I like to be done well ahead of time to avoid the crowds and am hoping that I will manage again to be on the ball. I'm making my lists and checking them twice at this point!! We've had the usual things to do this week......sparks and piano.....and I have my ultrasound tomorrow. Anxious to see baby on the screen, hoping that I'll be able to figure out what baby is, but I haven't been that good with the others so I doubt I'll figure it out tomorrow. All is all just hoping everything is there that should be and baby is just doing well. It's hard to believe that I'm now 20 weeks and halfway through......hopefully the rest will pass just as fast and that I won't have to go the full 20 weeks:) I'm off to rest my achy bones in hopes this cold will pass fast. Hope that November is being good to everyone!!!

Kathy that sucks to hear that you are sick...not to mention having to look after a sick kid as well...and the whole pregnant thing I'm sure adds to the discomfort! Great pics from Halloween...the kids looked fantastic! I can't remember if its you or Karen that has the pic of Georgia going with her treat bag but THAT is the funniest picture I've ever seen. Hope the ultrasound went well...and although it would be exciting to know what gender the baby is I kind of want it to be a surprise! LOL! Don't tell me if you find out! Chat soon :)
