Happy Halloween! What a fun day it has been! It was a busy day, but in the end, it turned out to be filled with fun and a WHOLE lot of candy!
I started off the day taking Joel to school for the first time in a week. It was so nice to get to talk with some of the other moms from school AND I got their cell phone numbers! I am finally no longer the egg in the pond but a bonafide tadpole! Such a happy moment to be told that if I needed help with Joel about school again, all I needed to do is call.
Then it was on to my first doctor's appointment of the day. I got an X-ray and it showed some more bone growth than was there last time! I was pretty giddy with excitement, but the doctor's reaction reminded me to continue to be cautiously optimistic. Still, a very happy moment to see more white bone than a dark gap on the screen!
My mother-in-law and I headed over to Nordstrom Cafe for lunch after the doctor. She liked it as much as I did! It is SUCH a girlie place and I so enjoyed eating my soup AND crouton without any children begging for my food OR making the soup cold lol. Connor was at playgroup and had SUCH a great time. It was a great day to get OUT of the house for a bit and not feel too tired when I returned home!
My NEXT doctor's appointment for the day was with the surgeon who took out my gall bladder. He said everything looked great and he removed all of the bandages. AND I don't have to go back and see him again unless there is a problem. SO happy about that because at the OTHER doctor's office, I am now on a first name basis with most of the nurses and additional staff. LOL the x-ray lady asked me how my dinner with my in-laws went last month. I didn't even remember talking about it, but really funny that she remembers me that well because she takes THAT many X-rays a month of my arm! Six whole months of going there every other week or so....I am seriously going to have to send my orthopedic group a Christmas card this year!
Then there was the celebration of Halloween. I got some great pictures of the children in their amazingly adorable costumes! Connor was the cutest lil football player around! Joel got more "that is my favorite costume of the night" comments! He was such a cute knight! David and my mother-in-law took the boys out trick or treating and I stayed back to pass out the candy. I must say, I really liked that job! It was peaceful and quiet in the house (not something to be said of my home that often lol) and I actually got to watch an entire news segment before the Halloween kids came by for candy! Then David, Cathy, and the boys came home and I took Joel out for a little while longer. We had a nice time seeing all of the amazing decorations outside people's homes and getting MORE and MORE candy. I think we are set on movie candy for the next couple of months! After a while, we came home and settled in for the night. Connor and Joel both got to eat a piece of candy tonight...I think both would have gladly eaten more if I had let them. They were so happy and on a trick or treating high. Oh those were the days! It is so wonderful to see the holidays through their eyes now. I hope to remember Connor's first Halloween where he could SORT OF say "trick or treat" for a long time. For now, I am off to bed to sleep and to heal! Have a good night all!
