Halloween

Halloween had some added fun this year.  I've never spent money on a baby costume before and this year I did.  Wow, was it ever fun to dress Mira up in her little butterfly costume (which we found on sale of course).  She was so cute and squishy and cuddly.  Too fun!

 Brodie was a storm trooper (Star Wars again).  This is the first year that he got really excited about running to each house.  It was fun to see.

 We carved some pumpkins that we had left from Grandma and Grandpa.

Ashley and Hope didn't get to join in the fun this year.  We have been given a little extra "out-of-home" respite and they were gone for the weekend.  This made it easy to get out and see some friends.  Ashley and Hope had a good Halloween at their respite home.  Ashley had some excitement.  She lost her two front teeth while she's away.  So, she'll look different when I go pick her up.

Alex started a new job last week and today I drove him to the airport for a work trip to Canmore for the week.  On our way to the airport we were rear-ended, and now I have a head-ache!  It was just a minor little bump because we were stuck in traffic, but still rather annoying.  My neck stiffened up and I got a headache immediately, so I took myself and Mira to the chiropractor.  Mira was all strapped in her carseat, so hopefully she wasn't jolted too badly.  The other driver was probably on his cell-phone, because traffic was barely moving and all the sudden we felt/heard a big bang.  Sillyness!  Mira started crying immediately, and I let out a yell from the surprise of it.  Then the neck stiffens and the headache started.  Here we go again, I thought to myself.  Alex was rubbing his neck too, so I'll have to call him tonight and see how he feels.
