Halloween 2009

This year our ward had it`s annual Trunk or Treat. It was out at my family`s farm. This year there was a bonfire and the kids roasted marshmallows, and there was music and the kids danced around. After they collected their candy, we went on a hayride. Aidan was a really cute monkey. He had a lot of fun playing with the other kids and seeing them all dressed up. He especially enjoyed going to visit his great-grandparents and being fed a lot of candy to keep him happy on the hayride. There aren`t as many pictures this year, because we were too busy trying to keep Aidan out of the bonfire.

Double Ear Infections, Round One

The past few days, Aidan has had a yucky runny nose, a cough, and a sore throat. I told Bryan on Saturday that if he was not better by Monday, that I was going to take him to the doctor. Sunday morning he was the same, so I opted to keep him home from church so he wouldn`t make all the nursery kids sick, and called my mom, who is in Utah for a week with her two sisters and my grandmother. She asked did he have a fever and he didn`t, so then she says to check his throat. That`s a really fun job with a toddler and no tongue depressor(note to self, must keep those around) so I managed to get a really short look and then called her back to tell her that I saw white spots. She said to go ahead and take him to the doctor because it could be strep, so we waited until the Urgent Care in Swansea opened at twelve, and off we went. Thankfully, there was no strep, but he has a bad cold and both ears are infected. The good news is that the ears were already starting to heal on their own.
