Trick or treat.




October 24, Fort Smith.

The kids did Trick or Treat today between shows, but Dylan and Nicolas skipped.
Nicolas we've been watching closely and think he has the flu, the new one or the old one it doesn't matter, he's had a high fever although he seemed better today, and Dylan was doing great, hadn't run a fever since that first night, and all of a sudden, right after the trick-or-treaters came by, he started running one again. We went out today, it was finally warmer, but he must have gotten a chill, and now I'm panicking, dreading a return to yet another urgent care clinic (what else is going to be open on a Sunday?) dreading the accumulating bills (two hundred dollars just to walk into the clinic the other day, and now I know the system, that doesn't include neither the doctor nor the extra exams, those will be surprises in the mail - trick or treat.)
They'll skip the Halloween party tonight under the big top too, no way they were going out in the cold at night even if they both had been doing better.
It's been a hard week.

Sorry you little ones were too sick to go...I hope they didn't get too jazzed up in the candy I gave them! lol :)

Thank you for that, that was so kind. Since they don't usually get any candy, they can only have the chocolate kind but that's greatly appreciated :-)
If I don't see you tonight have a safe trip home and I'll call you some time this week for the old photos.
It's been fun traveling with you guys, looking forward to much more next year!
And maybe even a veggie BBQ to remake the world... ;-)
