Draykey had a very high fever for a few days but that was really his only symptom. He is doing MUCH better now.
Hannah had some asthma problems, those cleared up. Then Draykey got the flu (Hannah has only had the first of two H1N1 vaccines...and just the week before) so we started Hannah on Tamiflu profilactically (sp?) and crossed our fingers. She seemed okay...then last night (after a big temp change, and an LJKASDLKJASL who thought trick or treating outside in the cold wind and going to a bonfire were a good idea for an asthmatic child) the asthma hit again, but with a fever and cough, so we're thinking now she has H1N1. Back to around the clock breathing treatments, and I need to figure out somewhere to call to see if we should get her back on what's left of the Tamiflu.
Thanks for asking ((hugs)). This whole winter will most likely be one asthma adventure after another. Michigan is not kind to our asthma diva. I'm sorry, y'all are most likely sick to death of my whining.
We did manage to do some trick or treating last night. Our local radio station put on a Trunk or Treat INSIDE a car dealership. Local businesses were the ones passing out candy. It was AWESOME, particularly that it was INSIDE. Then we went to my parents and grandpa's houses or the obligatory visits, and off to the High School where the kids can trick or treat from room to room, get a picture, get their faces painted, etc (again, all inside! yay!)
Here's my crew...not sure if I should post as I made NONE of it, we just didn't have the time.
My fabulous Flappers, Emilee (13) and Lizzie (10. When they found out their Great-Great Grandma was a REAL Flapper they had to be one! Of course, they had a bit of an "edited" idea of all a flapper was!

Pics are great! I'm so glad you found somewhere inside to enjoy the holiday; but more important, don't ever feel like you're "whining" when you're sharing about your family experiences. I don't get tired of hearing about your kiddos, I enjoy learning how everybody's doing. And it's ok to share how you feel about (the aforementioned anacronym I can't understand but still somehow get the gist of).

Now I'm just jealous. I have a great camera, but, sadly, a total lack of photographic talent. sigh... these are gorgeous! And they capture the girls so well! Although Emmy's is bittersweet, she looks like such a yound woman in the picture; all our kids are growing up way too fast!Oh! We also had two birthdays here this month!
Emmy turned 13 on October 9th:

Lizzie turned 10 on October 17 (and was so happy a new baby of a Dis'er was born on her "Birthday Eve"...she still smiles about it and feels special!)

First off, I'm stunned that nobody knew who it was; even if they don't read the books (and that's just sad) do they not shop at Target? There's a whole fancy nancy section LOL. As far as how you're feeling,All the costumes look great. I never did get a good pic of Lauren as Fancy Nancy. I was actually a bit bummed; when I dropped Lauren off at preschool on Friday (they could wear costumes on Friday), no one knew who she was. Not one of the little girls in her class knew who Fancy Nancy was - do these kids not get read too?!?!
For reference here is her costume:

And on a non-sewing note: I am so done with this pregnancy. I want little Megan Grace to get here and now. I am just whining and know that I am incredibly lucky to be pregnant at all (sought fertility treatments to get pregnant this time) but I hurt, I can't sleep and the heartburn is constant. Whining done for now. Thanks for listening.

I've missed you to; the board is too quiet without the Cricut Queen- have you seen the new Cargo yet?I read (or scan is probably a better word) this thread everyday T. So I'm here, just not HERE.... kwim? I'm just having a hard time right now, so I'm not too chatty, but don't you worry friend! I got your back end.... errrr.......ummmmmm......... BACK when you need me!![]()
