We're the MckSickies

Brendan started getting the sniffles Saturday and then Sunday-Tuesday, he was a little sickie! Monday, he didn't even get out of bed and Sunday he actually ate soup! Yesterday he started feeling much better BUT then I started feeling bad! So now I'm a little sickie!

Seems like everyone is getting sick! Luckily, this is only a stuffed nose, sneezes, and a little congestion. This is a flu free zone and we want to keep it that way! Let's hope we all get these germs out of here!

Saturday, Brendan and I are going to a Halloween party at our friends, Justin and Janet's. They usually throw the annual Halloween Party. Saturday, we went and finished buying all of the necessities for our costume. We'll reveal what we are after the party. Brendan wants to secretive about it!

I'm not sure if we are going to be able to pass out candy this year. Halloween falls on the same night as the party. I like passing out candy. However, I don't like it when kids reach their little hands into the candy bowl. I think that's rude. This isn't a take what you want kind of deal. This is me being nice and giving out candy. How much candy? Well, that's up to me! If you're too old to go trick or treating...you probably won't get much from me. If you're not dressed up- not much candy is going into your pumpkin.

I'm not into the scary portion of Halloween. My nerves can't take it! I'm not able to watch scary movies either. I'm a scaredy cat and I'll be the first to admit it!

I am quite ready for the Holidays. Can you believe how fast Thanksgiving and Christmas are approaching? I'm ready to wake up and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and eat fried chicken! Last year, I was sick..or was that Christmas? I just remember not being able to eat like I wanted! It had to be after Christmas because that's when we went to Ohio for the 1st time.

I wonder how the holidays will go with us being married now! Before, it wasn't a big deal if we didn't spend the holidays together. But now we're MARRIED and this will be our first holiday as hubby and wife and we have to be together. Ohhh, I need an ornament for our first Christmas! Where can I get one of those? Anyone know?

We haven't carved a pumpkin yet. What's the rules for that? Is that just a Halloween thing or is it a fall thing? If it's just a Halloween thing then we're running out of time! I also want to go to a corn maze. I gave Brendan the option of Dracula, the ballet (which is awesome..I've seen it 3 times) or the maze. You can pretty much guess his answer- The Maze.

Hopefully, I will have great pictures for you with pumpkin carvings and Halloween costumes soon!
