No Big Chicken?!

Well, a double ear infection for Ms. Bug and bad colds for the rest of us brought our busy week to a screeching hault.  And at around 3am this morning, I began to think that we were overdoing it a bit with all the Halloween talk because Buggy woke everyone up when she began screaming "Mommy!!" at the top of her little lungs.  Doug and I shot out of bed faster than a speeding bullet and came to her rescue.  She told me she was scared, and before we knew it, she was snuggled up between us, snoring.  It wasn't until this afternoon when I tried to put her down for a nap that I realized, she must have had a nightmare.  About a big chicken.  She kept saying, "No big chicken!"  And she did the same thing tonight before bed.  Now she has a nightlight, and knows that Mommy and Daddy are watching her in the video monitor, and she's been told endlessly that there are no big chickens in her room.  Bless her sweet heart.  And darn you Big Chicken!

Besides Little Scientists camp on Tuesday, a trip to the doctor on Wednesday and preschool on Friday, we had a pretty low key week.  We're all feeling better and we're coming out of our sick daze and I'm looking forward to getting back into our routine next week.  Minus ballet and few playdates just so we can keep our sanity!

Lulu turned 4 months on the 11th and she is becoming more and more fun with each day!  She loves to sing and giggle and has been reaching, grabbing and hitting her toys.  She really wants to roll over from her back to her tummy, but is still trying to figure out what to do with her arms.  I've started to stop "dreamfeeding" her before I go to bed, and she's still been sleeping from 7pm-7:30am! 

Some pictures of Bug at Little Scientists camp.  She loves this class and the teachers are great with her!  This week they had a Halloween theme and below is a picture of the kids pretending to be bats hanging upside down!  (Bug is in the back right corner)

Here are a few pictures of Hailey at "pweskool". 

Should Doug be concered that she's always playing with boys?

Daddy and Bug in her favorite Dora shirt, waiting for the "Big Truck" aka recycling truck. 

Daddy and his Little Pumpkins.

Hailey has been enjoying opening all of her Halloween cards.  Especially the one from Grandma Eileen because it had money in it!

"What's this?"

"It smells."

"Here Mommy!"  Atta girl!

Excited about going to Little Scientists camp.  She seems pretty chipper even though she had a double ear infection!  I didn't know she was so sick until I picked her up from class and she pointed to her ear and said, "hurt!" 

Feeling much better after 48 hours of antibiotic and ready to visit Teacher Ann and Teacher Mary Beth at pweskool. 

Waiting for Daddy to come home so we could carve her pumpkin!

"Daddy!  Where are you?!"

Very proud of her pumpkin!

"Happy Halloween! And NO BIG CHICKENS please!"
