Halloween

Against my better judgement I'm posting this picture because I'm taking one for the team. It is the only one that Brooklyn smiled in and we will forget the fact that I look stoned.
Halloween was awful. I had envisioned, for a year, the wonderful "Wizard of Oz" family we would be. Sickness and costume issues and emotions got in the way. Brooklyn cried the whole night, I did not end up green, Macey's "Toto" costume ended up grayish/purplish when dyed, and 3 of the 4 were starting or ending a sickness. So Happy Halloween!

P.S. Brooklyn had ruby red slippers but wouldn't you know, they didn't make it into the picture!

Now I'm praying for the sickness to end because we are onto #4 getting sick and she is not a happy baby. Croup and an upper respiratory infection. I'm sure we've paid for our Dr. to buy at least a new car. ARGHHHH!
Here's hoping for a better post next time!
