Pumpkin Patch Opportunity

I just found out that we will be having our company halloween party at the biggest pumpkin patch in town. However, I can't go. I'm so disappointed.

The office will close at 3:30, we will have our meeting from 4-5:30 and then dinner and fun around a campfire at the pumpkin patch. Kids and spouses can attend beginning at 5:30 for half price entrance.

Bummer is that we have tickets for the same night to see the local semi-professional football team play (its the 2nd to last game of the season in their first season playing). We already bought the tickets ($140) and plan on taking the older boys and my mom is staying overnight to babysit the twins.

DH thinks the little boys are too small to enjoy this pumpkin patch for the price (full price entrance $12.75 adults, kids 2 and under free). This would have been a great opportunity to get him and the boys out to a pumpkin patch. Instead, I am going to try to convince him to take the boys to a smaller pumpkin farm on Sunday. We'll see how it goes.

Ear Infections

It's been 18 days since the boys got their colds. They seemed to be getting better, but the last few days it seems their coughs were getting worse.

I read recently that if their colds aren't better after about a week or so, they should see a Dr. I convinced my husband we needed to take them in and guess what? They have ear infections. This is their first ear infection ever. So we have antibitics and childrens claritin.

This could explain why Parker's eating has been off lately and why he is unusually clingy. Hope they are better soon.
