Halloween

So after a great morning at church, we are on our way home and the car that just got fixed after being broken for 5 months decides to die 2 blocks from home on a major 6 lane road!!! So, since I could see the house I decided to go for it and push the van home to the driveway. I get out and push, now Deric thinks I am strong woman for pushing the van with him AND Gavin both still in it. Don't think he understands that it was not them that was heavy ,but the car!!!
     We get home and i work on the costumes for the kids and try to get the one I made for Kate finished so she can wear it. I was not really looking forward to going out in the rain and cold but how can you say no to the kids. Meanwhile Deric is whining for the better part of the day and refuses to do any chore until I tell him he won't be able to go out for candy if it's not done, chores got done. just as we were getting ready to go a 6, Dave walks in the door soooo, I tell him HE can take the kids out trick or treating and i will stay and pass out candy, he he, so glad i did not have to go out!!!I told Deric before he left to put on socks and shoes cause it's cold and he comes out in crocs, with no socks. His dad tells him to change and he won't, so Dave takes him like that; he comes back screaming, crying, and shaking uncontrolably. his feet and hands and ears are bright red and he is about EVERYTHING!!! i get him in the shower to warm up and he gets out, eats a couple candies from his bag and falls asleep. So Does Gavin cause he walked around saying 'brains" instead of "trick or treat" and got worn out!! gotta go figure out how to pay bill now.
