Halloween started off a little scarier than we had planned. After a week with two kids having H1N1, trick or treating was to be our first outing since the previous Saturday.
At 8:35 while I was on break at Target, Emma called and told me that there was blood everywhere and Daddy is laying on the floor. I asked her if she called 911 and she hadn't so I told her to do that and I left work immediately. Once getting home with the ambulance only two minutes behind me I arrived to find Evan on the bathroom floor with a nose bleed. Doug who is very nervous around blood was white as a sheet but feeling better. Evan had a nose bleed for almost a half an hour and had lost quite a bit of blood. He and Daddy were very scared. The parimedics decided to take Evan to the ER to be sure that his palate hadn't ripped and also to help stop the nose bleed. Doug and Emma would come later to pick us up. The parimedics did offer to have an ambulance come for Doug since he was so very white and shaky but he declined. Evan and I were only at the hospital for an hour. Hopefully he will not have this happen again. Our house looked like a crime scene and can never be luminoled or we will be in big trouble. :) What a big girl Emma is. I am so very proud of her.
Trick or treating was much more laid back. We did a few practice runs with Evan since he still doesn't really grasp what this is all about. I think after the first six houses he finally got it and enjoyed it. Shaking the bucket was also a big hit. Emma and her friends Nick and Daniel had a great time. Bedtime came early (7:00 pm with the time change).
