Halloween Night

We'll upload pictures of Halloween later, probably by Thanksgiving. There is a picture 2 posts down that pretty much does the job.
We got our H1N1 shots today--well everyone buy Katy--it wasn't so terrible. We waited in line for a hour and a half in a line that moved pretty good. Then we went out to lunch as a thank you to Nyssa for being so cooperative.
When we got home Katy went to put Leila down for her nap and as I was doing my breathalizer Nyssa got out a blanket and laid down on the sofa and fell asleep. So that is where she took her nap. I took half of mine in the chair and half in bed. I have been feeling better the proof being that I spent half of last night and all of my nap laying down. So I wake up unable to hear in one ear, at least I'm not coughing.
When I got up it was time for Halloween proper. Katy and Nyssa cleaned and I started dinner. Then I hemmed up Nyssa's Abby-Kaddaby costume and started to carve our pumpkins. Not my best Pumpkin effort, I threw down 2 in 35 minutes. which is pretty good.
Our friends Alica and Matt and Ruby and Greta came over for dinner (Ruby is a Mudskipper with Nyssa and Greta is a Duck with Leila) and then we went out trick or treating. I do not get it, but I had a lot more nergy as a 6th grader than these 3 year olds did. We T&T'd for about an hour, hitting like 15 houses and then were pretty pooped.
When we got home...AND THIS IS THE REASON I AM WRITING...we dumped out the candy on the sofa and Nyssa picked up a box of DOTS and said, "These are what aunt Muermann had." And she was right. The last time Nyssa saw Aunt Muermann was the 4th of July, it is also the only time she's ever had DOTS.
