Halloween 2009...fail

So Halloween 2009 didn't go quite as planned in the Hall household. Nate and I were scheduled to attend a Halloween party on Friday night and then Pierson was going to get all cute in his lion costume and we were going to head to Prestonwood's fall festival - complete with petting zoo! I was so excited to show him the animals and watch all of his expressions.


Back track to Wednesday before Halloween - another fever. Seriously again - my child catches EVERYTHING! So we put him to bed with some motrin and see how he is the next morning . Thursday morning, not looking so good but I am trying to convince myself that he is just teething again because he goes 10 hours without fever! YEAH! Halloween with still happen! Friday morning he wakes up with horrible blisters all over his mouth and then I start to notice that are on the inside as well - great. We are headed to the doctor...again. Friday morning he is diagonsed with hand, foot, and mouth disease. I hate the word disease it makes it sound so horrible! It is a virus that causes fever, blisters on your hands, feeth, and mouth (imagine that!) and a rash. It is highly contagious of course and since it is a virus you have to just wait it out.

So no Halloween party for the parents and no festival or costume for the little man. And yes, I did throw myself a pitty party! :)

Here is one of the pictures we took on Halloween - I am very jealous of all the cute costume pics of all of my friends kids! We are still going to take pictures in the costume - just havent gotten around to it yet - not quite as fun! Looking forward to Halloween 2010!

Here is a better one...a better picture of his face - he is still pretty cute! :)
