My parents attended a wedding reception that evening while we went to a new venue for costume fun. The Vintage was hosting a character meet and candy doled out. We took the kids but I was pretty wiped out. We showed up late and only had the chance to take pictures with a few of the characters around the shopping center. The ones we met couldn't have been sweeter. We capped off the evening with dessert from Coco's, a favorite creperie. David meanwhile kept looking worse and worse. His forehead was burning up by the time we got home and we soon discovered he had a high fever. Advil took it down and we all crashed in bed.
Sunday morning the kids sang in church. I came home and crashed. When I woke up my parents went to visit a friend. Dinner time and back to bed.
Monday morning we spent some time outside on the driveway showing off David's new bike skills to my parents. The weather was lovely.
My parents left at lunchtime. That evening we took advantage of "kids eat free in costume" at Gringo's again. After dinner, we spent about an hour trick or treating. I was amazed by how many homes were still not finished from flood repairs. Several people had just moved back home and downstairs. Wow! Long road for so many...makes our 2+ months seem like it flew by!
That busy weekend began a long week of the flu (sore muscles, high fever, chills, and 2 kids vomiting once). David recovered in about 24 hours. The girls got it midweek and they took a bit longer to recover. I prayed a lot and God was gracious to keep my healthy.
