they go straight for the face? I washed it when I first found her. Didn't come off. I took this picture. Rod washed it when he got home. Didn't come off. We washed it in the bath. Didn't come off. We go to the doctor for flu shots tomorrow morning. Oh well, I guess the nurses and staff will get a chance to see how things sometimes go around here.

My Little Love Bugs
She came over to the visit the other evening and drove her new Bug. We took the crew out to see it. They all immediately wanted to climb in! They loved it and did not want to get out. The next day I was talking about our car to Will, but the kids heard "car" and started yelling for "Connie's car!" They already know this is a much cooler car than our big @$$ van.

Fall Festival
There was so much for the kids to do...
Then they went trick or treating

I Do Myseff!
And because I know you're really just here for the pictures...
Will built Stella a dog house out of a cardboard box
(he's wearing underwear- I just realized he looks naked in this picture)

Patched Up!
The last time Will had tube put in, he had "semi-permanent" tubes put in. This means the tube had a phalange which opened behind his ear drum to hold the tube in place. Apparently, Will's tubes had "migrated." They were trying to come out of his ears, but were held in by these phalanges. The tubes moving were damaging his ear drums, so his doctor scheduled surgery for today to remove the tubes and patch Will's ear drums.
Like I said, Will has had several surgeries for his ears, but it still scares me. I was able to tell myself that it is very minor surgery and he would be fine. I know this to be true, but last night I barely slept a wink. General anesthesia is always scary.
This morning we went to the surgical center. Will was a good boy and answered all of the nurse's questions and spoke to the doctor and anesthesiologist. He seemed fine until the nurse said it was time to go back to the operating room. Will simply said, "No." He was not going to budge. The nurse and I tried sweet talking (and a little bribing) but got nowhere. She asked the doctor if I could walk him to the OR instead of her. He was fine with that, so I carried him back. There, I held him while the anesthesiologist put a mask on Will. After a couple of breaths, I could see his eyes drooping. He went out and I left the room. That was kind of hard.
Luckily, the surgery didn't last long and once he was awake and had eaten something, we got to bring him home. He is doing great! He is enjoying getting to rest in Mom and Daddy's bed and watch videos. Hopefully, we have finally closed the book on Will's ear infections.

We Take on King's Island
Rod's parents came up for lunch, but it was too cold for them and they didn't want to stay. They wanted to take the kids on one ride before they left. What is the logical choice for the first ride for toddlers?
Okay, maybe not the obvious choice, but it is Will's favorite ride. Each car has guns and you can shoot the ghosts. Will was not afraid and I think the quads are too young to know that it was supposed to be scary, so it was fun. Besides, everyone was with Mom and Daddy or Grandma and Grandpa.
You can't see them, but this is Will, Uncle Shawn and Drew

Teamwork
They were all having a lot of fun and doing it together! I guess that's all that really matters.
