First case of Peru-belly...

and luckily it wasn't me - but poor Spencer was really hurting.   We got a small shrimp salad that we think was the culprit, and Spencer didn't eat for the next four days!  We got him hooked up with some antibiotics, and after a few days, he was on the mend.  The upside?  Rapid weight loss.  I'm still not convinced it's worth it.  Luckily, the day before the fateful shrimp day, we finally got Direct TV (after having waited for three months and given up hope that the local cable provider would ever show up to install our cable).  At least we had lots of entertainment. 



Things are back to normal and life is good again.  Halloween was a huge affair at the school and almost all of the kids dressed up.  I had a few zombies, Thing 3 (Thing 1, Thing 2, Thing 4 and Thing 5 were in other classes), a pirate, make-up artist, skeletons, spider boy, witches, an Egyptian princess and I was a hippie.   We had a party at lunchtime, and kids brought in cakes, cookies, cupcakes, candy, drinks amd chips.  Pretty much like our parties at Grayhawk!


Friday, I went to Women & Wine night, and Spencer stayed home, still making sure he was truly well after his Peru Belly.  We walked on Saturday, met friends for coffee, relaxed and met more friends for lunch.  Rough life!  We didn't have any trick-or-treaters, but on Monday, my kids told me they went trick-or treating around their neighborhoods.  Must learn more about that - is it just where I live?  

That's all for now!
