We're Recovering

No, I'm not planning on tuurning this into a once-a-month blog, but we have had a lot of drama over the past few weeks. The day after we got back from Disney World (which was a little crowded, but fun) I got a concussion while cleaning the house. For those of you who are thinking, "Wow, I knew Sarah was a bad housekeeper but . . .", let me assure you that it was Elanna's fault (just kidding). The kid dropped a can of play-doh on my head while I was picking up toys. Yes, I realize this is a ridiculous story.
Anyway, I recovered, but Elanna got sick three days later with H1N1. She spent the next three days throwing up and whining. After taking care of her, of course I got it, but I got so sick I had to go into the hospital for a few hours for dehydration. My last dose of Tamiflu will be taken tonight, but I think I'm through most of the bad part.
Elanna and I celebrated Halloween last night. Elanna was a dragon (I'll post pictures later), and I think we were visitied by every kid in all of Clovis. I appreciate that parents want a safe place for their kids to trick-or-treat, but I think it' time our town got together to put on a carnival or something. I went through over 120 full-size candy bars and 7 lbs of tootsie rolls. There were literally school buses full of kids pulling up to my house. I ran out of candy at 8:30, and after I turned off my lights there will still kids ringing my doorbell. I guess I'll have to buy more candy next year.
