Bobbing for Sicknesses

We were invited to an annual Halloween party at our neighbor's house last night and so we dressed up the kiddos in their costumes to go. Those pictures will be posted on Friday, so stay tuned. It was really cool seeing all of the kids get out of their cars with all kinds of costumes on. I was also looking back at two years ago when we attended for the first time we did not know anyone. Last night when we went, I knew everyone there and fit right in. That feels good when you actually fit in and you are not a new kid on the block anymore. Anyway, the good ol' game of bobbing for apples came out and the kids had a fit to play while the parents had a fit NOT to play. They did have fun but they all put their wide open mouths in the same water and into the same apples. Of course they got to keep the one they caught, but still! I do admit, it was a blast to watch and witness. Leslie saw all of the fun and wanted to join in. So she got her turn, but the water was so cold, she bobbed her face in a couple of times and then just picked up the apple. You will see her doing this on the blurry picture. Oh, you ask about Nolan? Well, he stood by watching and told me he was thinking how all of his friends were going to get sick. He had not part of that action. We left the party smiling and laughing because we had such a great time, but wondering if Leslie will be getting sick. This morning when she awoke and got ready for school, I heard sniffles. Yep, as of two minutes ago she is sneezing, coughing and sniffing! Yikes. She caught an apple and a head cold!
