Cleaned, but not carved...
cute school stuff...
I think they must have taken these pictures to use with the "You're the Apple of My Eye because...." project.
This one almost brought tears to my eyes! She did so good drawing her Halloween costume, didn't even forget the W!
It's so fun seeing her school work. She has to show me everything! I can't believe how much her reading has improved in just the short time she's been in school. Dave and I are looking foward to her first conferences in November!

Luke and his cold
Poor Luke has been fighting a cold for almost a week now! I think it was last Thursday he started coughing.
He had a miserable Monday and was running a fever in the 101s, but it went down on it's own.
He's been watching alot of Dora, Diego, and Max & Ruby. And of course, Toy Story and Monster House. And I make sure he has his thermos at all times with ice water or apple juice. He doesn't have much of an appetite though. I made baked ziti last night, one of his favorites, and he didn't eat much.
Tuesday he was still coughing alot, but....
I did get lots of smiles out of him! He seemed to be feeling better later in the day, he was asking to call lots of people so he dialed up Uncle Nathan and Papa to chat.
And after a quiet night with not too many coughs, he wakes up coughing again today! Bummer. But no fever, so that's at least hopeful. We'll see what the rest of the day brings. It's raining and extremely gloomy out, so a good day to be in. We had a painter scheduled to come today to paint the upstairs stairway where I can't reach, but he cancelled because he's sick too!

Haircut
The kids went in for trims last week. They love getting haircuts and actually ask for them! I can't imagine trying to hold down a screaming kid for a haircut. Now Luke can see again. He's been hanging on to a nasty cold since last Thursday/Friday. Just a snotty, coughing mess. No fevers *knock on wood*. Emily had something similar earlier in the week, but it didn't get too bad. I'm not sure if I should quit reading/watching the news or what, but this H1N1 is getting scary. A few weeks ago I was probably not going to get the kids vaccinated, but I think my mind has been changed. It doesn't look like our clinic is getting them until early to mid November, so when Emily goes in for her yearly check up, we'll have to see what's up. I hate this part of parenting. Can't I just hide the kids away forever and not let anything hurt them?
The Enchanted Forest
Yesterday, the kids and I went over to Lacrosse for the Hixon Enchanted Forest. They had fun! I did like it better last year since you walk through more actual woods at the old Hixon center and the characters weren't spaced apart so far. Emily's favorite was Cruella Deville from 101 Dalmations and the Wizard of Oz crew, Dorothy, the Good Witch and the Scarecrow.
Starting the walk....Luke really likes people in animal costumes. So when this Otter took off her head to chat with some fellow workers shortly after we were passed, Luke kept looking back shocked that she did that. Good timing Otter.
