Yes, I put my daughter in a pumpkin, but only cause Kayli did (I guess I give into peer pressure). It was so funny, cause Elena kept lifting her legs so I couldn't set her down inside it. Hee. Hee. This past week is another of those weeks I've been having lately. This is how it went, Elena puking over everything, (mostly me--once completely drenching me at 5 AM), and doing loads of puked on laundry, scrubbing out vomit of the carpet, giving Elena baths because she had vomited all over herself and then turning around and running a fresh bath because she had gone diarrhea in the tub, force feeding Elena tylenol for her fever, and doing loads more of diarrhea covered laundry and... well you get the idea. It wasn't that fun. That is one good thing about my years as a nurse. It doesn't really bother me that much. On top of all that I was trying to get all this adoption nonsense taken care of. Leo and I had to have physicals done along with TB shots and fingerprinting for FBI clearances and Elena had her year checkup and recieved her shots which made her all the happier. We also had to list all our siblings, living and deceased, all our places of residence in the last five years (which is a lot), all this information on Ana's biological mother, etc. etc. Stacks of paperwork were killing me in between Elena's screams for attention. Anyway, it all ended on a good note. We went to Indiana. Well, Leo went to work. Ana, Elena and I went to Indiana. But not Gary, Indiana. I just like the song. Although I only remember the Gary, Indiana refrain. We went to Layfayette to visit my sister Kayli and her family. It was lots of fun, despite our kids (hers too) still being sickly and me catching a cold as well. We went to a pumpkin patch with a petting barn, and then carved pumpkins. Brett wins the creative prize, he carved a skeleton riding a dirt bike with flames coming out the back. You'll have to watch Mi Hermana's blog for pictures of that. Good times.
Kayli somehow thought 500 W was "close enough" to 600 E so we ended up in the boon docks in Indiana. She yelled at me that I better not post this picture of us in the middle nowhere on my blog. Hee. Hee.
Ana, Elena, Ethne, Jethro and Hazel
Ana feeding the calf, Elena screamed when the calf got close to her.
Riding on the train.
Feeding the llama.
Elena did smile once during the whole trip..it was actually when she was being pulled around in the wagon
This is Kayli saying "You'd better not post that!"
Ana did hers all by herself--she has the slimey hands to prove it!
Ana's jack-o-lantern!!! Awesome!!

i wish we lived closer to come and play too. ps. thanks for commenting on my blog and yes we did pick a pretty cool name!!! Jason kept saying but I have a cousin named Kami we can't name our baby the same name and I kept saying- that is the cool part that she is named after someone so neat!!!obviously I won!!!
Kami, it looks like you had tons of fun---sorry about all the sick kids. If nursing makes you immune, maybe thats what I should become. I can't handle it---people who throw up make me want to throw up, and bad smells make me want to throw up, and pain makes me want to pass out. yeah. I think I'll stick with dental hygiene. Only one girl in six months has thrown up, and usually wisdom teeth aren't that bloody. People do gag when I try to take x-rays of their teeth...but that doesn't make me gag. Anyway, side note also about dentistry--have you taken Ana to see a dentist? cause in some of the pictures it looks like she has a set of teeth not completely out, but the second tooth has come in, and if so, you probably want to have them pulled, or a space maintainer put in. I realize this isn't the top of your priorities, but I thought I'd let you know. You are the coolest ever! Sweet jack-o-lanterns!
The pumpkin picture is priceless, what a cutie.
