Kids are sick :(

And I wish I could say from too much Halloween junk, but no, it's that nasty swine flu that's going around. It's flying through almost everyone I know right now. I have it too but not like my kids do. I was worried about my middle child because she had a good fever but Mikhail's spiked at 39.3 C, that's about 103 F. He's throwing up good too, all over our nice new couch. sigh, guess it could always be worse, right? As long as I can get him through this I'll be happy.


We had a good Halloween. Took the kids trick-or-treating with a friend. Had fun showing everyone the kids costumes. Chastity was an evil fairy, Emma was a vampire and Mikhail was a monster.

Here's our pumpkins, saw the pumpkin eating a little pumpkin in a book and thought we would put our own twist on it, adding brain matter to the small one. :p

and we set off fireworks again in our yard.

And finally, here's my layout for Lotus Paperie. The challenge this week is to use a coffee filter. I have to say...this wasn't the easiest challenge for me. Firstly, I had to go get coffee filters because we are not coffee drinkers here. Then I had to figure out what to do with it. I ended up turning it into a flower, sewing it to my page and using yellow paint on the edges.

That's life this week, thanks for peeking
