Halloween 2007

Happy Halloween Everybody! These are the pumpkins we carved this year, you will notice that there are only four, that's because I was so exhausted after we did everybody elses I was done! It's hard to tell in the picture but the 3rd one over is Campbell's and it has a binky in it's mouth... Trevor and Hallie's cute idea.
Hallie was a cowgirl this year. Yeehaw! She looked so cute with her freckles. Megan was Ariel from the Little Mermaid. She felt soooo pretty! I caught her looking at herself in the mirror several times and just smiling and playing with her long red hair.
This is a pic of the whole family at the trunk or treat last week (yes, I know the picture is crooked, I did not take the picture, just tilt your head slightly to the right ;)).
Trevor was a "babe magnet". This is the only picture we got of Campbell in his Halloween costume (see below). He was a policeman. Halloween night we had dinner with some friends in the neighborhood. It was fun to get together with them. To be honest, Halloween was a bit of a blur to me, I was stressing over Campbell the whole night. He has been sick and yesterday he started wheezing and just seemed miserable.
Campbell's first Halloween, poor kid. We didn't even attempt to dress him up or take him trick or treating. He sounded like he could barely breathe. After a terrible night of pacing the floor with him and almost going into the ER but then talking myself out of it (several times) I took him to the pediatrician today. His bloods oxygen level was lower than it should be so they gave him a breathing treatment and sent me to the hospital to get a chest x-ray. The final diagnosis is bronchitis and an ear infection. They sent us home with antibiotics and a machine to give him 3 breathing treatments a day. He does not like them but hopefully they will help, at least enough that we can get a few more hours of sleep... pretty please.

Poor little baby! I sure hope he gets better soon! It is so stressful to have a sick baby. But your family looked absolutely darling! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!

Oh, I hope he gets better soon. Having sick kids is hard.
You guys looked adorable at the trunk or treat... I loved the idea for the "babe magnet" costume... so clever!

Well your Dad is over there at his computer laughing at me. I was really sad to see Campbell feeling so poorly that I shed a few tears and your Dad thinks that is really funny. Anyway, I hope he is feeling better and that all of you are getting more sleep.

Hallie and Meg, you really look cute in your halloween costumes. We missed your visit but can see that you had a fun time which always makes us happy!

I'm sorry Campbell is sick. I think respiratory stuff is the worst!! Ok, so maybe having your kid puke all over you is the worst but respiratory takes a close 2nd. I love the picture of Campbell doing his treatment. We have a nebulizer and I'd recognize that Bubbles the Fish mask anywhere! We will keep Campbell in our prayers. Marshall and Nathan both have asthma so we're familiar with breathing treatments. Marshall just got over croup and Nathan just got over a sinus infection that triggered big asthma problems.

Hallie and Meg look great in their costumes!! I hope they had a good Halloween! I spaced it and totally forgot to take pictures.
