Halloween weekend

Well this weekend has felt like Halloween was never going to end.

It started on Friday. At the hospital there they had a guys named scientific Steve and he did a whole presentation with doing a bunch of different experiments and was really entertaining. Then the kids went to about 10 different centers and had games for them to do and then got candy and prizes. Parker sure got excited about the candy and was catching on pretty quick. He loves the sound of candy wrappers. They had face painting and clowns, and the kids had a great time. We went to RMH that night for supper and Parker missed the activities of the house that day and so they gave him a big bucket of candy/games/stickers. The people that were making the meal made us BBQ steak, chicken hot dogs, and mini burgers and salads and veggies and potatos. They brought toys and treats for all the kids. Parker alone got a teddy bear, 2 packs of hot wheels cars, and a trick or treat bucket filled with candy. They asked if I had any other kids and then they gave me 2 packs of sticker activities and 2 fancy coloring books for the boys that weren't even there. They were so giving, such nice people.


On Saturday I convinced the Doctors to let me take Parker back to Lethbridge for the day. So after his meds in the morning we packed up and drove home. It was so nice to be able to go home for a couple of hours. The reason I wanted to go home was so that we could go to the Halloween party at the Church. There, they had a bunch of games set up all around the church and you got a little prize at each one. We had taco in a bag for supper. I was going to have to leave and miss the kids doing to trunk and treat thing and so Jim offered to take Parker back to Calgary for me, so that I could take the kids. The kids got to listen to a scary story and then they did the trunk or treat. They got a good size bag of treats, and had so much fun.


Me and the boys came up to Calgary this morning and as we were walking into the RMH some people all dressed up were walking out. They had brought so much stuff for the kids. They brought 3 pinatas, and probably 4 huge bowls full of different candy and things for these kids. We all know whose going to be eating most of it...ME and I don't want it. People are so nice, how kind of them to think of these kids that may not be able to go trick or treating.

It was a great weekend but I'm dreading the next few weeks with the kids bugging me by asking to eat another treat.... I hope I don't go crazy. Oh ya they will be driving Jim crazy instead. Maybe we'll put it away for their birthdays. HA HA
