Croup

Alley had croup this week. We have never seen her that sick. She had a fever for 4 days, a cough, and some wheezing or stridor. She was home for most of those 4 days and we took her in on Friday to the clinic and they gave her a short course of steroids. She is much beter now, but has a cough still and is very tired. She has a little red nose in this picture.

Halloween Party

Trick or Treat

Alley went Trick or Treating for the first time this year. We went to just a few houses around the neighborhood. I don't know if she really got what we were doing. She seemed to like all the kids come to our door in their costumes though.

Alley happily traded all her candy for a few oreos - which she got all over her face.

Alley was a monkey this year for Halloween. She got a little hot though so took off her outfit as soon as we got home. Shannon at daycare had painted a red heart on her cheek earlier that day.

More pictures

Here are some more pictures from the weekend of Oct 20th. After the game we had a fire in the firepit and made smores - it was a beautiful night in the 70s.
