Boo!

The wheels on the bus came off early this week. Dom was down for the count with the stomach flu. It has been a long time since she's been out of comission like that, needless to say we had a mini-crisis around here. Remember the article I was talking about last week about mom's not getting paid enough, well, I'm now writing my congressman, I've had enough of these unreasonable wages.

The kids and I managed to hold things together. Monday was the big day, Halloween without mom leading the pack. Thank goodness it wasn't raining. We went to the mall for a little bit to play games, then on to the main drag for house-to-house combat, I mean trick-or-treating. Noah did a fabulous job holding Charlie's hand and helping her navigate through all the ghosts, Harry Potter's and walking trash cans (ingenious). Charlie only took one spill walking up some cement stairs to a house, but being the tough girl she is she held on to that sacred candy bucket without dropping one piece (that's my girl). We had a fun time and will be eating candy till Easter.
