Just when you thought it was over....and Halloween

So....we thought that the sickness had been passed down to Blake and then it was done...that's what we got for thinking...never do that again! :) Alex ended up getting a fever over the weekend only to go to the dr's on Monday to discover that he had strep! Lovely! So after two days at home and starting his antibiotics he went back to school today, and we started prayers that Blake will NOT catch this too from his brother. I mean really, we need to draw the line at sharing somewhere don't we? So if you are the praying kind...and I pray you are, pray for healththy kids in our house as we celebrate Alex's 6th birthday this weekend and Alans 30 something bday tomorrow.

And we have now solved the problem of what to be for Halloween. We went to Party City on Sunday and got Blake a Clone Trooper that he really wanted to be so that he could have a light saber. Let me explain that Party City on Sunday was crowded, but not insane...So then yesterday we headed out to find Alex's costume...and Party City on Tuesday, well it was insane... We were on the hunt for a scooby doo costume that wasn't $50.00...yes has anyone priced kids costumes these days? INSANE! When we got to the store he decided that he infact did not want to be scooby doo, but instead wanted to be bumblee bee the transformer...we happily went along with that since that was only $20.00! Thinking we got a huge savings! Blake then changed his mind and since his brother was a transformer he should be one too, so back went the Clone Trooper from Star Wars(what is a Clone Trooper anyway?) and he decided on optimus prime transformer. SO this year we will have two extremely cute transformers running around our neighborhood. Stay tuned for pics from this year, but in the meantime check them out form previous years!
