Well we decided we couldn't go to the party today ........Laurence had a migraine last night and was vomiting....that isn't catching but it leaves him feeling washed out and grumpy....Abigail is still hacking away with her cough.....we ran out of day meds so she has had night time cough syrup and is likely to fall asleep after lunch........the rest of us are still feeling kind of flat and washed out...like we have a cold without the cold.......which is really weird.......
But the good news is I weighed in this morning (a day early) and I have lost 3 pounds!!!! 3!!!! 3!!!! I am stunned!!!!! :) maybe I should have given up dairy a LONG time ago!!! :)
So yes, we decided to stay home....and although we are sad to miss Daisy's party today, we decided to have our own little party here by ourselves :)
So we started with some Halloween crafts and project work......then we carved our pumpkins......and now we are about to have lunch - including the treats we had made/ bought for todays party.......and then after lunch we are doing apple bobbing and reading our Halloween book (Mary Engelbreit)
Then we plan to roast our pumpkin seeds for a snack tonight.....
Susannahs project was about bats, Laurences was about skeletons.....and Chris is working on comparing the CHristian view of All Hallows Eve and the Pagan celebration of Samhain (pronounced Sow (as in pig) ween) Abigail did some Halloween themed worksheets, mazes, colouring and a craft........
This morning I also booked Rosie in at the vets to be spayed, and Amber for her annual immunisations.....both in November......
Sam slept much of the morning which tells me he is not feeling great either.....but means we got the dangerous pumpkin carving out of the way while he napped and he can join in the apple bobbing fun today...............
Lloyd is out for lunch again today....third day in a row so I am starting to get a little jealous...yesterday he was at a steak house place...today he is out at an Indian restaurant which REALLY has me jealous lol! and Wednesday he met a friend for lunch out at the mall.....
We haven't been anywhere this week during the day........hopefully we are all back to good health next week and can get busy again...
So I think we may have a new family member coming to live with us this weekend...a baby pot bellied pig......we are driving over to pick him up on Sunday :)
Last night Lloyd and I drove into town to run a couple of errands...I finally dropped off the pumpkins to Cheryl (it was nice to see you Cheryl) and went to Tims and Sobeys.......
Well, off to have lunch!!!
