The Germs Crawl In. The Germs Crawl Out.


Happy Halloween! One thing is for sure, we are happy around here that the germies seemed to have finally exited from the Baughman household. We had a rough week with ailing munchkins. There were little brains frying, lots of snot, hacking, sleepless nights, and workless days for mommy and daddy. By Saturday though, most of the ugly stuff was out of the way and they were healthy enough to get all gussied up to go door to door begging for sweet treats.

Gramma G had inspired Nate to be a pirate on an earlier trip this season to a haunted train ride. He was very concerned that he wouldn't be able to see where he was going with his eyepatch . No worries, though, he did just fine zooming from house to house. He also informed us that he was a "matey" and not the captain pirate. That is why he had to have a skinny mustache and wouldn't wear the parrot on his shoulder or the hook on his hand. Come on, you all knew that? Well, mommy didn't get that until she got the lecture from her "matey."

Tessa was a princess kitty complete with a tiara and pink sparkley "clicking" shoes, as she refers to any shoe that has a heel and makes any noise when walking on a hard surface. She growled (not meowed, full out raarrrhh !) at the first few doors but then morphed into the sweet little kitty that she appeared to be and would manage to say thank you, please, happy halloween and trick or treat before she would even get up to the porch. Given the choice of treat out of many large bowls, she collected a number of suckers.

Our tradition is to hit Brooke's house first and then walk around her neighborhood a bit. The night was windy and chilly and our little t-o-ters were barely 100%, so we made it about an hour. We finished the night out with some pizza at John, Naomi and Allie's (Piglet) house. The kids got to hand out some candy from their door too. It was a Happy Halloween.
