Getting ready to Trick or Treat with Mom

We have had an eventful past few days. Considering we made it nearly 10 months without being sick, I feel like we were very fortunate. However, on Thursday night, Liam was very upset and started running a slight fever. We went to the pediatrician on Friday morning and discovered he had a double ear infection. After some antibiotic, he was feeling much better by that evening. The advice from the doctor was "to watch and wait" and start Luke on meds if he began having the same type symptoms as his brother. So, on Saturday night after Luke started acting quite different than his normal, we started him on medication. In addition to the ear infections, Luke is finally getting his first two teeth and Liam is getting his sixth tooth! We have had some cranky babies recently, but we are surviving and have thankfully had some very nice warmer weather in MN so we can still go out in the stroller since that is the boys favorite activity.
On another note, we had a great Halloween. We have an amazing neighborhood with tons of kids. We made a very quick loop around the neighborhood for some trick or treating on Friday night (despite our ear infections). Luke and Liam went dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2 courtesy of some costumes made by their mom and dad. On Sunday night, we had a Halloween Parade with the neighborhood. One of our neighbors who works for the fire department drove a firetruck around our circle and then we enjoyed a potluck afterwards. It was a lot of fun as you can see in the pictures!
We hope everyone had a nice weekend!
