US+2sDay Catchin’ UP

Well the blog master (TwinPop) has been delinquent with posting for 3 weeks now.  Weeks one and two can be written off to a bout of the flu and a chest cold.  Last week just got the best of him. We had planned on going to visit Cousin Carter, Aunt Heather and Uncle Mel (with the magic knuckles) on Halloween.  Unfortunately our Princess spiked a high fever at dinner on Friday the 30th so the plans were scuttled. A trip to the Dr. , some rest and medicine and she wanted to brave the neighborhood to get candy. We pulled our "fairy" and "scary Monster" through the neighborhood. What a bag of candy they got! A funny side note: Karen has been trying to explain Santa so that the kids will understand a little better this year.  Henry said that he wants a train. Well what do you know one of the neighbors was dressed as Santa and was passing out candy.   Through out the evening we had to remind the kids to say trick or treat and thank you. Well we come to Santa handing out candy and Karen says "what do you say?"  Hank replies: "I want a train".

Halloween

Unfortunately we lost a cherished member of the family. Karen's cat  (Ed's by marriage) of 17 years fell ill and had to be put down. She was a one woman cat, and that woman really loved her! She is missed.

The week following Halloween the kid's school hosted a fall festival, complete with pony rides, a maze and petting zoo. The next morning we went to the fair and saw all of the animals that we missed the night before. Our Princess just made the height needed to go on rides. Guess if they had fun.  As you can see from the artwork we are getting ready for Thanksgiving.

I wish Twin Pop to remain in good health.
Kids also get sick at times and that is fact
of life; their sickness is harder to cure by
Panadol Tablets. I use these tablets some
times. I find them fast and effective pain,
fever relief, and gentle on the stomach.

Talking about pets; we miss them when
gone from around us just like we miss
a dear human being gone.

Whenever I am around there, I will
make sure to visit Cousin Carter, Aunt
Heather and Uncle Mel. Seen many of
their pictures, but I do not remember
meeting them in person yet.

Funny is the kid’s rehearsal saying trick
or treat and thank you to the neighbor
Father Christmas. Better a train- Henry,
than candy; isn’t. Henry, buddy, stick to
your choice, you might be correct.

Happy Thanksgiving; November 26 is
closer. It is a time for shopping, family
reunion, feast and the big family dinner.
I wish I am there to have a bite from the
Turkey, kid’s grand father and mother
(father side) used to cook for us. Please
take time while celebrating thanksgiving
dinner to thank God for keeping all of us
near, dears, and always closer.

Thanks for the catch up TwinPop!! As a loyal “follower” I look forward to Us+2’s weekly posts. I can appreciate the time it takes just to make a post, now that I am a mommy 🙂

We will all miss Georie in our own ways, Karen most of all! I can certainly relate & I understand fully! It was nice to see Georgie included in this post.

I am having so much fun with the kids & I am looking forward to geting them ready for the holiday’s w/ many crafts!!

Finally, I am so happy that everyone is back to good health!
