Halloween and Back to Illinois


Sydney had a great time trick or treating this year. We go over to our friends’ neighborhood since we live out in the country. We only went to half as many houses this year as we did last year (because I wasn’t going to pull 3 kids in a wagon again) but they still got the same amount of candy. I am not quite sure how that happened. Sydney went as a witch but only kept her hat on for about the first three houses. People would ask what she was and she would reply “Sydney.”

The Wise family left to go back to Illinois on Sunday. We really enjoyed their visit. Gene even scrubbed my range top and vacuumed all of the spiders out of my garage. Steve said that he completely cleaned the basement too. That is a handy man to have around! The girls spent one day shopping. I was told that Sydney picked the shoes that were on sale (that’s her Mama’s girl) and they all took Sydney to the pumpkin patch the day before Halloween. The day after Halloween Linda and Lori got to see Sydney at gymnastics but Sydney was still pretty tired from her trick and treating adventures the night before.

Steve bought us tickets to the Bears/Titans game in Chicago this weekend so it looks like we are heading to Illinois! My current plan is to drive up on Friday night, go to Dad’s birthday party on Saturday, football game on Sunday, and drive back home on Tuesday. Now I just need to see if one of the guys has a Bears coat that is large enough to fit over Lil Bit for the game.

That’s all for now.
