I went to the Dr this morning..I have strep throat! First time getting that, and man does it SUCK! I dont really like going to the doctor for colds or little things like that so I was trying to wait it out. Next time i'm going in way sooner. About an hour after I took the meds the swelling went way down and by tonight it hardly even hurts! Ella was complaining of a sore throat tonight so I am taking her in first thing in the morning. I dont want it to get worse for her!! We had plans to go trick or treating with my friends, but since I just started antibiotics today I am still contagious and if Ella does have it, so is she. So we kept our germs at home. We walked around the neighborhood for 30 min and then the girls were done.

Monday and Tuesday were spent being sick..bleh! I hate being sick!! My throat is SO sore. Ella seems like she is getting sick now too. Lily is okay, for now. Jack has been cranky but not sure if he's sick. I hate being stuck home, but it came at a pretty good time. THe kids Halloween pictures are in a photo contest and one of the moms is cheating!! So hopefully I'm cheating faster then her now :) It ends halloween night so i've been spending every free second voting for Jack. I have a 2000+ page list of emails if anyone wants to help enter some :)

Today was so busy. I'm thinking we are staying home tomorrow, I need a do nothing day!
It was so cold this morning! Ellas cute "fancy" coat is getting way too small. I needed to go to crazy8 to have my 10% off applied to what I bought last time, so I decided to go look for new coats. They didn't have anything I liked. We walked around the mall and went in a few stores to look around. Finally after an hour we headed to Lowes for build and grow. We were running out of time so we just grabbed the projects and headed to the next store. I wanted to get Ella some boots. I checked a bunch of stores in the mall and we even stopped at goodwill on the way to build and grow. But I can't find any that I like, that I will pay for. I'm not spending $30+ on boots for her! I dont even spend that much on mine! So Walmart was our next stop. I wanted to get Parker a monster truck (jacks favorite toy) to go with his present. We found some cute clearance dresses for Ella, got the montster truck for Parker and even found a cool superman one for Jack. Then it was time to head for Parkers party! The party was a lot of fun, super busy and crazy, but fun :)  When Jack had finally had enough we headed home for a quick nap before our next stop for the day.  A store in town had free halloween mini portrait sesssions if you brought in some canned food donations. We got there just before it was over. Hopefully the pictures turned out ok, it was hard to tell. After that we headed to the ward trunk or treat. Jack must have been starving because he ate 2 huge bowls of chili! Lily had a little, and Ella just looked at it and said, yuck, lol..I felt the same as Ella :)  A lady in the ward sets up a little photo taking spot. We took a lot of pictures there. We also took some pictures with their friends who were dressed up like super heroes too. When we were leaving I was distracted and worried about backing up with the little kids still trick or treating so I started my car and then got out and told the car next to me to stop the kids. I got back in and my car would NOT go in reverse, it just kind of rolled forward, and the brake just kind of felt weird. I put it in park and got out and my friends husband was watching, he saw the car run into the curb, lol. he goes, what are you doing?! haha. I said it wont go backwards! and he goes, uh oh is your transmission going out? then i was getting worried! lol, he got in my car and he laughs at me and says, your car isnt even turned on! haha Oh man it was such a long day, I guess I was so distracted I didn't even start my car! He was parked right next to me and I heard his car on and I thought it was mine..anyway that was pretty embarrasing, then we came home and my kids were nuts for about an hour. Now they are all sleeping and i'm watching extremem couponing..holy cow these people are CRAZY! I wish I could coupon, but I really don't know why any person would need 100 boxes of cereal or 90 bags of croutons..the few pictures that I took today aren't working right now, so i'll come back and add them if they start working, or when I get some from people that took some today..because I didn't take too many:)

Jack broke my fan yesterday :(  Its really hard to sleep when its SO quiet. I wake up to every little noise. I downloaded a white noise app,  I set the timer to turn it off in 45 min. It worked to help me fall asleep, but then everytime someone made a noise I woke up. Jack was up once, and so was Lily. I was SO tired today. I think tonight i'll try and just let it run all night so I dont wake up :)

 
haha had to get a picture of Jack in his tights :) 
I put them on under his costume to keep his legs warm
 Super girls
 Jacks hair goes into a natural mohawk..and its a curly one!
 Jacks cool monster truck
We did so much today and those are the only pictures I took!

These are from someones facebook..

 
And these are the pictures we had taken at the store. She uploaded all the pictures in a video and I just screen captured these. I hope she has the full pictures on at some point because the one of Jack turned out really cute! So did the girls, but its harder to get a good one of Jack :)



 Whoa I look tired :)
 Thats better, I look less tired green ha
 Cute superheroes! They told me today they don't want to be superheroes anymore.
 I think Lily is going to be a dragon and Ella wants to be a princess.
If they choose those costumes, i'll dress jack up like a knight..if not he'll be a dalmation cuz the costume is warmer :)
 Superhero squad!
Super buddies!
 
And some pictures from Parkers party

Lily didn't have school today. I SO wanted to just stay in my pjs all day and do nothing since I didn't have to drive her to and from school. Sadly that is not usually an option! I had to have my samples for super saturday to the lady in charge by 10. With Lily home our schedule was a little messed up, but I got it there just before 10! It was close :)  She lives right next to the post office so that was our next stop.
We picked up a box to send a bday present. Jack was pretty cranky so we just went home after that. He took a nap and I don't remember what Lily and I did..something i'm sure, lol. When he woke up we headed over to Mcdonalds for lunch so she could play with her friends. She hasn't seen them in awhile since she is usually at school. We stayed for most of the afternoon. Came home and Jack napped until it was time to get Ella from school.
We got Ella and then started getting ready for the Boo Bash that our neighborhood puts on every year. We didn't stay too long.  Long enough to get some dinner and some candy. It was COLD!








 Cute little Carson at lunch
 Lily and her lunch date!
 Finally cold enough for boots!
