We're Tired of Being Sick!

The theme of this post is ... we've had it with being sick! From the stomach flu to the cold and flu, we're ready to be healthy again. Poor Caroline was out of daycare twice last week with a bad cold, then passed to both me and Ben. Here's hoping we've hit our quota for this cold and flu season!

Halloween weekend was great with a visit from Mimi. We had a blast playing and hanging out. Saturday, of course, was the big trick-or-treating trip to Centreville. C dressed as a little lioness (costume courtesy of Tim) and Timmy went as an adorable dinosaur. Both costumes were a hit with the toddlers, and although we had to bribe Caroline with a juice box to put her "mane" on, a good time was had by all.

Uncle John and Aunt Linda's old neighbors, Karoline and Gary, were gracious hosts and served up a spooky Halloween meal especially for the little ones! Mickey Mouse chicken nuggets and ABC tater tots (and helping after helping of "dip" aka ketchup) were enjoyed by all. The adults tasted three varieties of chili, and drank a lot of wine. Poor Gary's wine cellar will certainly need to be restocked ... he is probably wondering where did all the white wine go?

Sunday we went to watch the Bears battle out the Browns at Thirsty Bernie (luckily one game they actually DID win). We made a trip to Toys R Us before Mimi had to head to the airport and overall, had a really fun trip. Come back to visit soon!

Will upload some more photos soon. This weekend ... Ben and Caroline hang out while I hit up the Long Island wineries with the crazy NYC crew! Stay tuned and have a great week.
