Robby had been feeling a little bit better all Halloween afternoon and had a hard time deciding if he wanted to go trick or treating or not.  Finally, about five minutes before the start of the ward trunk-or-treat he decided he felt good enough to go out.  So, I had 5 minutes to get them both ready.

The last couple of years, Robby has insisted on wearing something “Halloweeny” for his costume.  Last year he was a skeleton, this year he decided to be a ghost, and he is already talking about possibly Frankenstein for next Halloween.  I decided to just keep it simple and dress Zoe up as a ghost too.

Last weekend, when we went trick-or-treating downtown, Robby had his face painted white and his costume looked pretty cool.  We just didn’t have time to paint his face this time, not to mention that since he was sick, he did not have the patience to sit still and let me do it.  So, his costume didn’t look quite as cool, but I still think we had two pretty good looking ghosts.

Robby walked around the church parking lot, got a little candy, and then was ready to come home.  That totally did him in.  I think the fresh air did him good though and he has been feeling much better ever since.  We are all just glad he got to celebrate Halloween a little bit.

Robby has been sick for the last couple of days. Yesterday he stayed home from school. He missed a field trip. Today he missed his school Halloween party. We had all sorts of fun plans for today, but instead, we are just staying home in our pajamas and watching a movie. Poor thing. I feel so sorry for him; what a terrible time to be sick. He has stayed pretty positive through it all though and I do think he is starting to feel better.

Robby has never been a napper, but being sick his poor body definitely needs the sleep.  Even being sick, he still couldn’t manage to fall asleep on the couch.  I left the room for a while and when I came back, I found him here, asleep on the floor, sprawled over the pillow, with his head resting on the tile.  It couldn’t have been comfortable, but at least he got some sleep.

Luckily, last weekend, the city had trick or treating downtown, so Robby and Zoe got to wear their costumes and do a little Halloweening.  Of course, I didn’t take any pictures because I thought I would do them all today.  Oh well, they are both going to have to get in their costumes one day next week so I can at least get some cute pictures.

Here is a picture of Zoe on Halloween.

I didn’t put her costume on her since we aren’t going anywhere, but I at least had to put a spider in her hair to make her somewhat festive.
