Scary Stuff

Halloween 2009 was a good one. Kids all had a blast trick or treating....and we attended a family Halloween party at the rec center here in town on Friday night. We had Tara, Dan & the kids and mom & dad out to our place for pumpkin carving, cookie decorating, trick or treating & bobbing for apples. All in all - a successful Halloween.


Interesting though that the scariest thing around right now has nothing to do with Halloween.......
Like alot of things in society.... it is happening far away - to people I dont know so I didnt pay to much attention at first. However, now it is hitting close to home and I am concerned. We were going to wait until this coming week, or maybe even the next to go get our H1N1 vacinne.... but after hearing of the number of people in our town that have it and then having kids/familes in Brooklyn's playschool getting it - we went on Thursday and got our shots. 3 hours start to finish - which isnt that bad considering that I know some people that stood in lines for 6+ hours....3 wasnt so bad. And now today there is another case of it with a child in Brooklyn's class so I will be keeping her home this week just to be safe as eventhough those children wont be there...... the germs are probably still lingering in the classroom. There has also been an announcement that ALL Alberta H1N1 clinics have been closed until further notification.... so I am very glad that I took the kids and that we have been vacinnated. There is alot of chatter on whether to get the shot or not..... my personal opinion is that EVERYONE should get it.

So now it's November..... several awesome things to look forward to this month.... seeing KISS on the 12th, New Moon release on the 19th and Dane Cook on the 21st!! Plus decorating for christmas in a few weeks..... fun fun fun!!
