Yesterday was a fun and exhausting day for the kids. Accalia dressed up for her art class, wearing this witch costume there as well as when we went to a party put on by the local college


The kids and I went around the neighborhood for about an hour, covering just about four blocks. Accalia dressed as a frog, Cole as Spiderman (without the mask), and Ella as a bee:


After that, we went to the party at the local college where there was a haunted house that scared all three kids and a few games to play. We ran into some friends, too. Cory had a busy night delivering pizzas and even got some candy out of the deal. The kids came away with quite a bit of candy, and right away Accalia sorted through hers and set aside half or more for Cory and me since she didn't like it. Ella seems to enjoy unwrapping the candy more than anything, so you know that means I have to eat up whatever she unwraps and doesn't eat!

It's been a rather rough day around here so far. Ella is napping, and Cole and Accalia are finally playing together happily. I'm attempting to pack and catch up on things before we leave tomorrow. I also woke up with a scratchy throat and feeling a bit under the weather, which hopefully won't get worse just as we're getting ready to visit.

Yesterday was also a happy day because our friend Amy gave birth a a baby girl named Gianna Faith yesterday! I hope to be able to stop on our way out of town or on our way back home to visit, but that completely depends on them as well as if I'm feeling better.
