We have been holed up in our house for a few days now, recovering from our first sick spell of the season. Poor Bennett had to miss the Halloween parade, party and goodies that he'd been looking forward to at school. Poor Eli had to miss the ward trunk-or-treat party. Poor Millie had to miss her "baby's first costume" debut for friends and family beyond our own backyard. Poor Stephen had to miss a day of his busiest work week of the year (which will make for an even busier next week). Poor me had to miss one of my favorite holidays
and put up with three sickies.
That said, the boys were stir crazy enough last night that we let them at least put on their costumes and trick-or-treat for all of five minutes. (Thanks, Liz and Amy!) Then we came back inside for a pretty scary and rather white trash dinner consisting of Fritos, bean dip, jalapeno cheese dip, orange soda (the Washingtonian in me still wants to call it "pop") and root beer, with a small side of veggies and lime chicken. At least we had Kathleen Boyd's amazingly delicious sugar cookies for dessert.
Here are a few shots from the kids' five minutes of Halloween:
