Patrick tripped and hit his nose on the bed frame 4 days before Halloween. It was bad! Pictures just don't do it justice. I think I know where people get their ideas for Star Wars, Lord of the Ring, and Star Trek from. Both eyes and his nose were swollen and black. The first thing he said the next day was, "Is my nose still bleeding? Can I show my friends at school?" He didn't have school that day :( But he got to show off at the halloween party, church and trick or treating. He was sick of mom and dad showing it off after one day.

Then at midnight on Halloween night, Chad went to check on a crying David and opened the door to a glowing bedroom. He has busted open his glow stick from trick-or-treating. We called poison control only to find out that 500 other parents had called about the same thing that night. Traffic safety gone wrong. After a bath and drink he was back in bed doing fine.

We warned Auretta that our night time patience was pretty thin and she hasn't (knock on wood) gotten to any trouble.
