What a week

We started out our week with Halloween. It was not terribly eventful. I just walked around the neighborhood with our youngest 4 and our neighbor Lynda. The big kids all did their own thing. Some had friends over to our place for pizza and root beer floats.

Two days after Halloween, Andy suddenly got very sick and by the end of the day he was in the hospital. They even admitted him overnight. He has never really been sick that I can remember. This was a weird and scary and stressful fluke. The doctors were looking for things like Meningitis, but in the end, he got better rather quickly and there was no real solid answer what had happened.
Celeste had also had her wisdom teeth removed, which I do not have a photo of. She was pretty miserable for a few days herself!
 
The day after getting out of the hospital with Andy, we were invited to the school to honor Charity and Hana who both received big awards! Each month they award one student from each class to be knighted for being a great example of a character value. And both Hana and Charity both happen to be chosen for their tolerance. This was cool because it is a large school and their teachers had not known that they were both chosen.
 
How they do this award ceremony, is they actually call up the parents and tell them not to tell your child they are being awarded. When we got to the school, they put you immediately in a room off of the office so that the kids wont see you come in. In that room, they have all kinds of treats to serve you and a big screen of the assembly being live streamed for us to see. When it comes time to call up your child, they bring you backstage and you come out as your child does. And then they take photos for you. It is pretty cool and the girls were very excited!
       
After this, we took off for Dallas for a dance convention, which I will blog about next.
But first, this cute photo that Eden Snapchatted.
