We have had a GREAT and Joyous Christmas Day with our family and friends...

2012 Halloween

Our Halloween was a little different this year.  It all started on Saturday October 27th, 2012 at the 9th Annual Halloween Party at the Fisher house.  We always have a great time at this party. 

This year I took the boys on my own because Chad recently got his tonsils out and he had sinus surgery so he has been recovering from a very painful surgery.  Today he is doing MUCH better, but the past 10+ days has been difficult.  We are glad he is feeling better because I have really needed him this week to help with the boys...

I love all the leaves and the fall scenery

Crew fell asleep on the way to the party

 Grayson LOVES to ride the Fisher girls ride on jeeps {even if they are pink...ha!}

 Musical Walking to win a prize...

Halloween Day 2012

Our Halloween Week didn't start off good, Grayson was sent home on Monday from school with a 102 temp...YIKES!  Chad took him straight to the doctor and he tested positive for the FLU so we have spent the week caring for Grayson and trying to keep Crew healthy if possible.

See why I needed Chad...

He has been caring for Grayson all week while I work, best daddy and hubby! 

Well Grayson was still not 100% for trick or treating as he was running a fever all day on Halloween so we decided it would be best for us to stay in and he could help answer the door when the kids came to trick or treat.  Well it was a good thing we stayed home at about 6PM Crew came down with the FLU and for about 45 mins he was puking...needless to say I changed my clothes several times and Crew had has pj's changed 4 or 5 times. 

Grayson is feeling better today, no fever and is itching to play with his friends.  He is done being at home.  Crew is still running a fever, but hasn't gotten sick anymore and is back to drinking breastmilk so I think he will be 100% in the next day or too.  Now just praying Chad and I can stay healthy...

So our Halloween was spent at home, but we made the best of it! 

Grayson got to see the kids trick or treating and next year I know that he will LOVE going trick or treating.  He was so excited when the kids came to the door. 

{we did not pass out the candy that Grayson touched...just in case you ask me or mention it to me in a comment}

{this picture was taken before Crew got sick}

{we did not pass out this candy to the trick or treaters...just in case you ask or mention it to me}

I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Halloween!  I loved seeing all the instagram pictures and facebook pictures of your kids in their costumes.
