Woody Under the Weather

Every year since Clint and I have lived in our house, we have always gotten a pumpkin from St. Marks United Methodist Church.  This is one of our family traditions, even though we went to the Pumpkin Patch in Hayden, we still had to go make a trip to St. Marks and pick out a pumpkin and support missions.  The above is probably only the second time we have had our family picture made and it is hard getting everyone to look at the same time!  I think this is why this is only our second attempt, the first time was our first day home from the hospital.

Haines’ Halloween party at school was on October 26th and he was so pumped about it all week because he was dying to wear his costume.  Finally his party day arrived and I took him to school so I could take some pictures before their parade at 9am.  Haines dressed as Woody from Toy Story this year and he was lovin’ his bandana the most.  I took a few pics and then left before the parade and then was going to come back for the party at 3:00pm. 

   

Above is Nicholas (aka Buzz Light Year) who has the exact same birthday as Haines.  His mother had a c-section too and we were both at St. Vincents and did not even know each other.  It was so ironic when we discovered this when they were in the Baby Birds classroom together.  Below is Haines’ best buddy Sydney (aka Strawberry Shortcake).  Everyday when Haines comes home from school or when we pick him up and ask him what he did that day, he always says “Played with Sydney Walters”.  He loves to talk about Sydney!  It is so funny that he knows the first and last names of all the kids and calls them by both. 

  

I got a call from Haines’ teacher around 1:30pm and they told me that Haines had a fever of 100 degrees.  They said they just wanted me to be aware since the party was in a few hours.  Of course Haines would be getting sick because I had plans to go out of town with Sarah that afternoon after his party.  I knew he did not feel good when his teachers told me that he did not eat anything for lunch and did not want to go outside and play.  Those are his two favorite things so I know he was feeling crummy!  When I got to the party he did not want to eat any of the yummy treats and he was very clingy.  He started doing a little better after a little while.  I just hated that he felt so bad on the day of his party when he had been so looking forward to it all week.  It sure did not stop him though from wanting to eat candy though!
