Here are some pictures from our trip to Utah for Fall break and then Halloween. This was Tommy's first Halloween since the Diabetes diagnosis. I wasn't sure how things would go. He was excited to get a costume but he did tell Mike that he wasn't sure if he wanted to go trick-or-treating. What would be the point? Mike and I told him we would buy his candy. That got him really excited. Mike took both kids trick-or treating and they had a great time. Our neighbors on both sides were amazing. One family gave Katie and Tommy toys instead of candy. So thoughtful! The other family gave Tommy a bag of sugar free candy- all his favorites like jolly ranchers and ring pops. I thought it was so kind.
Some other neighbors down the street made a haunted house in their garage. It was so good! I hate scary stuff because I am a huge wimp. I change the channel if a preview for a scary movie comes on. So Mike made me go to the haunted house anyway. At first he shut the door and made me think I would have to go through it alone. Then, as I was leaving, a guy with a chainsaw was in the backyard. I was trying to get out and Mike held onto me so I couldn't run. My hero. I made it though and Mike said I was only slightly more hesitant and scared than the kids.
Our neighbor girl went trick-or treating with them and came over afterward to buy some of Tommy's candy. His prices were a bit outrageous but was willing to negotiate.
The Fall pictures are from our drive through Butterfield canyon in Utah. So beautiful!
I am so excited for Tommy to be a cub scout! He loves it too. Doesn't he look cute?
The snow pictures are from a storm last week. We are having another one today. I love snow days!
By the way, the eggs never hatched. I guess we'll just color them for Easter.
