A Switched Day

In all reality, when I made the calendar last year, I put bigger activities (such as hayrides and sugar-cookie making) onto the weekends.

I was a little too lazy to switch around the tags this year, so I simply swapped the Day 4 and Day 5's activities. (Day 4 being hayride and Day 5 being "sing Halloween songs").

It's a good thing, too.

Initially I switched the activities because, as a part of our religious beliefs, we try not to spend money/work/cause others to work on the Sabbath. And then last night, Jane started to get really, really sick.

This morning, Elliot and I woke up with the beginnings of Jane's illness.

Luckily, today's activity was a low-key "sing Halloween songs".

Since I know no songs, I simply visited Pandora and found they had a Halloween Children's station.

Magic!

No toddler is ever too sick to have a dance party (mine certainly weren't, although Jane was wheezing the entire time).

Of course, I discovered my video camera was dead once the dance party started, so I went with the old camera stand-by.

A few things about the children's clothes: A) Yes, Jane is wearing 2T pants when, in fact, she wears 4T; B) Elliot is wearing a t-shirt from last year when he was, in fact, 6 inches shorter and about 8 pounds lighter; C) and, yes, Elliot is wearing Jane's pants. But I think he pulls off the fitted-pants, bare-midriff look.

Give me a break. We're sick and tomorrow's laundry day.

Oh, and p.s., the kids dance like Frankenstein to "Monster Mash". I love it!
