Trick or Treat

This year we all went to the trunk or treat, where the kids got PLENTY of candy within only 15 min. I had bought over 250 little toys to pass out, and we still ran out! Next year I guess I need to plan on 400! Gorgeous was our adorable BYU cheerleader and I could get her to say "Go BYU" if she was around those she knew. Handsome was a cowboy. I tried to convince him to be a football player, but he liked the boots so much there was no changing his mind.

Again like last year, both came down with a cold the day before trunk or treat. In order to not repeat last years ER visit with Handsome, I did not let Handsome or Gorgeous play outside that day. We kept the house warm and layered the kids for trunk or treat. (they each had 4 layers on top and 2 on bottom, plus gloves, hats ready if needed, and coats ready if it rained, which I can't believe it didn't as it was raining all day long before hand). When we got home the kids went straight into a warm bath, warm PJ's, and then we let them pick out 5 pieces of candy to eat (Gorgeous couldn't count and thus picked one out)

Since Halloween was on Sunday we decided not to have the kids go trick or treating, teaching that we keep the Sabbath day holy. Neither cared and already had more candy then I cared for them to have. (Maybe we'll just stick to Trunk or Treat for the future as well) And success no ER visit this year! Actually no problems at all, just kept Handsome on his meds and all was well.

A couple days after letting them pick out 10 or so pieces of candy (and giving some away to friends), we decided to just let them at it and finish it off. Handsome had one piece left but looked so sick, I asked him how he was and he said "I think I'll throw up" I told him to lay down. He didn't want to, but took it easy for an hour. Then he perked up and said that he had a miracle happen. That Jesus helped him not throw up. :) I tried to suggest that some times we do throw up to learn a lesson. But he insisted it was his own miracle. Gorgeous was not fazed at all by all the candy and just ran circles around Handsome for a change.
