Potato Dig
November 10, 2009
Dawson’s school went on a field trip today to dig sweet potatoes. He was ready to go but he was upset that he did not go to the school. We met everyone in front of Red Lobster on the main road where the bus picked up the kids. Dawson cried but once he was on the bus he stopped. They went to Mr. Nikkawa’s Farm to dig the potatoes. Then they went to a park to have a picnic lunch. When they arrived back Dawson was asleep. He would not let me get a picture of him so all look like he is crying or pouting. Here are his potatoes.

Back to Bluff Clinic
November 5, 2009
Dawson woke up on the Wednesday the 4th with a low fever so no school. I gave him medicine and it went down. Thursday he woke with a higher fever and of course no school. About lunch Abigail started running and fever and Dawson’s was getting higher. I made them an appointment with Bluff Clinic and called David. We took them and when we arrived we were treated like we had the plague. We were put in a room all by ourselves. Dawson tested positive for H1N1 Flu both kids received prescriptions and were sent home. Dawson missed three days of school. On Saturday both kids were feeling better and were wild. By Sunday we had a bad case of CABIN FEVER. I have never been so glad to see Monday come. Dawson was able to go back to school because 48hrs had passed since he last had a fever. David had to wear a make to work until Wednesday.

November
This month is not starting off well. I hope this is not a sign of how the whole month will go.
Halloween Night

We took the kids trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.

The kids showed up before we could get out of the house.
Some people really got into the decorating. Once again, kids waiting in line and only one piece of candy. 
All waiting at one house!!!!
Despite that Dawson and Abby filled up there buckets.
Motomachi

Claudia and I took the kids to Motomachi to trick-or-treat.

Dawson and Breno
We arrived at about 4pm and it was already getting crowded. The stores gave out candy. Most of the store employees were dressed up.
The streets were decorated beautifully.
The children in this country wait in line at each store to receive one to two pieces of candy. Most places only give one. 
However, Dawson and Breno did not always wait in line like they were supposed to. Claudia and I tended to look the other way like we did not notice. (that was probably the wrong thing to do but otherwise we might have been there all night) Dawson filled his bucket up even though he was eating the candy as fast as he received it.
Halloween-School Parade
October 30, 2009
Dawson’s school had a party today. He wore his costume to school and took snacks. At 1:30 the parents were invited to the school for a parade around the courtyard. All the kids were so cute. The families were encouraged to dress up as well so I put Abigail in her costume. The director of the school took some of the older kids to local homes to trick-or-treat. Dawson loved it and was ready for more.
