trick or treat is over, thank goodness

TREAT...i still haven't blogged about our Halloween. here's a quick recap of the very eventful weekend. Friday night we went out with friends for my hubs birthday. we ate downtown and then went to Legends Fest in Sundance Square. he was excited to see Shenandoah and eddy raven was the headliner. you know you're at a "legends fest" when the headliner is done by 10:30 pm... LOL. eddy raven was great. so great that after the show, we were walking out and went down the sidewalk that was behind the stage. we asked him to take a picture with the birthday boy. what a fun night!

TREAT...we were able to trick or treat in our new hood with all our new neighborhoods. I'm so excited to live around these folks. they have a ton of fun. it was 3 flatbeds with hay pulling the kids the 2 mile loop around the neighborhood. Chris and i didn't get the memo that all the parents dress up as well...look out for next year. all 3 of our kiddos had a ball. we started at 6:30 and finished up about 9:30 then went to the after party at our new neighbor's house, Chris and Jen. Ha!
TRICK...it was a great night until Brady peed in his spiderman costume. poor guy was busy playing trains and the bathrooms were all taken up. he said "mom i told them to hurry up and i was waiting, but then i just went." when you gotta go, you gotta go!

TREAT...Sunday night was going to be the birthday boy dinner from Chris's parents. he wanted to have fish and shrimp this year. sherry made the kids a plate and i told her to give them some fish and shrimp since they have had it before.
TRICK...we sat down about 7 pm to enjoy the fried goodness and Anna said "ouch! my lip mommy." i thought it was a bone, but she seems OK. a few sec later, she said it again and i noticed it starting to swell. within a matter of seconds her lip had doubled in size. she started saying she was sick. i gave her benadryl right away due to the size of the fat upper lip. she was quickly getting worse and not better so we hopped in the car and headed to the weatherford ER. she continued to get worse on the car ride over...not fun for mommy or anna. turns our she is highly allergic to fish/shellfish. i'm not sure yet since she hasn't had a formal allergy test done yet. her throat was starting to swell, but the benadryl was able to slow it down. A had to have an IV with her meds to help speed up the healing process. the nurse started her once in her arm and lost the vein and had to do it again in her hand. it broke our hearts! she cried and screamed, but we held it together for her. so far she has been fine. we now have our epipen in case it happens again.
