When I picked Noah up from school today he was playing outside, climbing up the slide and jumping off the top of the platform until... he twisted or sprained his ankle (not sure which).  He said he was hurt and needed to go to the hospital; everyone got a kick out of that!  He was limping, so we put ice on it for a while and waited for Daddy and Sami to meet us to get into the car (I picked up Elle first, so I couldn't carry both of them).  When Jeff arrived Noah was excited and tried running to him, but quickly realized he couldn't; he was a big boy about the incident and didn't cry or fuss.  So... we took the stroller out trick or treating instead of walking.  We actually went into the lanes this year instead of staying on my mom's cul-de-sac... it was fun because we encountered more people, but the mosquitos were bad and poor Elle got bitten up on her face and hands since those were the only places exposed.

 Since Noah's teachers know we don't usually give him sweets or candy, they bought him some glow in the dark glasses instead of candy... he loved them.

Trick or Treat at Mount Carmel:

 I was so excited to be able to go for a little while since I couldn't go at all last year.
