What is with Halloween at our house??? Last year we had 3 in the family sick. This year Mike started feeling bad after a fall carnival on Saturday and ended up in the hospital early Sunday morning with an appendicitis. I feel bad that he drove himself to the ER but he was certain he didn't want me to bring him and luckily we live less than 1.5 miles from the hospital. He had surgery yesterday afternoon to remove his appendix and is feeling so much better now. He will hopefully get to go home around noon today.
At first he thought it was the chili I made that he had for dinner but soon the pain was just too much. After much pain medicine he seemed a little more himself as he was cracking jokes with the doctors before surgery. My favorite was when the anesthesiologist was getting ready to take him back for surgery and said it was "time for hugs and kisses" and then Mike looked at him and said..."we just met, I don't know you that well".
The kids on the other hand were a bit worried about daddy but more excited about all of the visitors and fun they were able to have yesterday. They said some prayers for dad and made a couple of cards but the day for them started with some Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Ella made banana bread with Ms. Lisa, Pops stopped by and gave out some M&M's, Gammy stopped by before going to the hospital, cousin Kelli came and spent the afternoon playing, Michelle brought pumpkins and carving tools for the kids to carve, they met me, Nannie, Gammy, Uncle Chuck, and Aunt Caroline along for dinner at K&W, then they topped off the day going for a quick trick or treating expedition through the neighborhood. Hopefully they won't start praying for daddy to be sick since their day was so fun.
I hope your Halloween was much less eventful than ours but as fun as Landon, Ella and Eli's day. If you can't tell from the pictures (I will post later) Ella was a pixie fairy, Landon was Iron Man, and Eli was Peter Pan. Ella and Eli did make it to the church fall festival on Wednesday night and they all made it to another festival on Saturday night so candy is overflowing from our candy bowl.
