I felt really bad on Halloween, I ached all over and had a terribly sore throat. So I dragged myself and Conner over to my parents house and he went with Grandma to choir practice while I took a much needed nap. Conner has been sick as well, but I am feeling much better thank goodness. How do you take care of an active one year old when all you want to do is curl up on the couch and sleep the day away? I am still trying to figure these things out. Aren't we supposed to have a special mommy immunity that allows us to weather all the sicknesses of our kids so we can take care of them?
Growing up it seemed as though my mom had that special power. Maybe she was just lucky. I know she kissed her babies as much as I kiss mine. We women cannot resist baby cheeks. They are just too soft and kissable.
Anyway, even though we didn't get out much Halloween weekend, we were able to pass out candy and Conner played in my parent's yard for a while in his costume.
This Halloween was memorable for all the wrong reasons but at least it was memorable. We did manage to get some cute pictures of Conner in costume. Next year will be our first year of trick-or-treating. Can't wait!
Here are those cute pictures...We love our bony boy!!!
You'll find that mommy immunity at some point. Most of the time it is just grinnin' and bearin' it, makes me really love my momma because she was much better at that than me (I'm pathetic at it). But, a lot of times, you really don't get as sick as everyone else. At those times, I sometimes wish I was as sick because I wanted an excuse to lay down after the busy-ness of taking care of a sick kid/family! :) Cute little bag 'o' bones you have there!
