Happy Halloween

Brynn and Coleson had a great Halloween! Coleson didn't have school so he and Brynn came to the hospital in the morning to visit Ammon. Ammon was having a pretty good day just chillin', not experiencing too many problems. They had a carnival going on the third floor, so Coleson and Brynn got to have some sweets and their first taste of trick or treating for the year. The night before, I was home, putting Coleson to bed and he said he didn't know if he could go to sleep because he was so excited, it was like Christmas Eve excitement. Next the kids got to go to Brian's work to trick or treat in his office, Coleson had to make sure every single desk and stash of candy was hit. It was really funny when Coleson loudly declared that he needed "to go to find Daddy's boss" because he always has the jumbo size candy bars, only to learn that while declaring this Brian's boss, Kim, was standing right behind Coleson. Not one to feel embarrassed or shy, Coleson, Brynn, and Kim quickly marched down to Kim's office where he did not disappoint in the treat department. It was alot of fun for everyone to be with Brian's friends and coworkers. Then they went to their cousins house for the night party and serious trick or treating. Brynn diligently kept up with the big boys for the first dozen homes, and then it was mainly Brian carrying her from there. They all had a blast! The boys all weighed their candy and Coleson came out on top with a proud 7.2 pounds. At the end of the night, Brynn fell asleep in Aunt Brooke's arms and we had to drag Coleson to the car. It was so nice I got to see them on my one hour mandatory "break" from the hospital (I feel like a working Mom).



Coleson didn't want to be something he had to explain, but he was creatively an alien who took over an astronaut to sneak down to invade earth.



Ammon was a pirate, with an eye patch to boot! His fish wanted to try out his costume too.






Brynn was Goldilocks and got to wear her favorite shoes that are shiny white that click like high heels when she walks. I think they might be a little small, but no way was she going to take them off. Brynn loved her Uncle Kevin's costume who was dressed up as Woody! All night trick or treating, she would yell for Woody and then they'd try to tickle each other.

Thank you again to everyone for making this a great Halloween for our kids. Your love and support are so much appreciated by the kids, and even moreso by us.
