Chris has been busy working, yesterday and today, and I have been sick. I have been trying to stay busy with the kids so I don't have time to stop and think about being sick. Isn't it funny that moms really don't "get" to get sick. Life keeps plugging along and there are kids to take care of, so being sick, isn't on the schedule :)
Yesterday the kids and I ran to Target to pick up some things just to get out of the house for a while. While in Target, we met this wonderful mom and her daughter. We ended up talking for about 30 minutes and she invited us to come with her and her daughter to the Humane Society. They were having an event there for kids along with a haunted trail. So we decided to go. The kids had sooooo much fun!!! By the end of the day, they wanted to take home a puppy, but we didn't think that daddy would like that so much :) The kids had so much fun at the haunted trail and we actually ran into a lady from my work along with her kids so it was fun. The kids were pretty scared but by the end, Lily knew that it wasn't real and if she stayed on the trail, nobody would "get her". It was pretty scary though. I had never been to a haunted trail. I can't imagine how scared I would be if we went during the night time. I have posted some pictures. I wasn't able to get many of the kids in these pictures. I had one on my back and was holding the other one most of the time because they were "freaked out" as Lily says.
I love this time of year. So many activities going on to keep us busy. Next week is trick or treating at the zoo, and in a couple of weeks is Beakers and Broomsticks event at the children's museum.
