Ok so on Thursday I went to work and had some high school students come in and tutor the kids with their homework. After that we had the kids in the gym. Well........... they were playing soccer. One of the boys was running and looking down and dribbling the ball between his feet. He didn't see the metal box on the wall surrounding the fire alarm lever.... he ran his head into it HARD. Horror movie blood running down the front of his face, he was in pain and shock. He got the very crown of his head real good. I had to  give first aide and call 911. After they got him into the ambulance and all the blinking lights in town left and he got to the hospital his mother called me and said the paramedics told her that I did everything just perfectly.

Turns out he got 3 stitches and then yesterday he was back at school with bragging rights!    I am so glad he was ok. I was so worried all night. I am glad I called 911. Had I not, he would have gone to the ER later and I would be in trouble for not calling...... I guess I work well in traumatic situations. Everything slows down and I am thinking clear on what to do next.

So yesterday... we didn't go to the gym and we had a nice time doing Halloween type things and watching the Wizard of Oz until all the kids were picked up. It was a pretty good day.

Today I picked up my new glasses and we are waiting for hubby to get home. Later we are going to get Rhiannon dressed up for trick or treating.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN PEOPLE!!!!!

You had no kids at all? Aw man... that's just sad... I'm glad Rhiannon got a nice haul, though; her candy should last her awhile, I'm sure.

I love what you've done with the place, Amanda. It looks very autumny in here. I'd have replied sooner, but we just got home from spending the evening with Karis, Julio, and the kids. Have a great week ahead!

Hmm.... How about this: Make a huge sign using glow-in-the-dark paint, and make an arrow that points the way to your house. Or, just buy some kind of sign that does that, I guess. Really kewl signage, coupled with some super-scary dummies and stuff, might help entice the kids to your house. Other than that, I don't know what else to suggest. Sorry, hon.
