Halloween- HO HUM!!!!

I have not blogged for awhile as you can see because it has been pretty chaotic around here. I'll go back to the next exciting thing in our lives and that was Halloween. I gave this title because Halloween was not very exciting this year. It was suppose to be fun as all Halloweens go, we had plans to take the kids trick-or-treating, Cole was going to be a girl, Jack a ninja (as usual) and Hanna a queen(oh so fitting). All did not go as planned though. Philip woke me up Halloween morning at 1:30 tellling me he needed to go to the hospital. He was holding his side and pacing around. In the 10 years we have been together I have never taken him to the hospital, he has usually taking me for something or another. So I got up extremely worried about my husband and called his mom to come stay with the kids while they slept and off we went. My thought when talking to him about what he was feeling was kidney stones and once he was examined by the Dr. I found out I was right. The poor guy was in so much pain, I felt so bad that their was nothing I could do but be there for him. We got back home around 5 that morning and put our tired bodies in bed. I had to get up soon and take care of all 3 kids plus 2 extras because Halloween this year fell on conference week and the kids were out of school. Friday was a long day and Philip was not getting better but worse. I decided along with his brother Eric and his mom that he needed to go back to the hospital. This was the tough part it was now around 4 in the afternoon and I wasn't sure we would be back in time for trick-or-treating so I made plans with the neighbors to take Jack and Hanna and Cole was going with his friend. All seemed to be planned for the night until I called home from the hospital and found out the Hanna was crying and not going out because she was worried her daddy wasn't coming home. Poor little girl we both felt so bad for her. We both promised her that dad was fine and coming home and Philip even talked to her on the phone to hopefully reassure her that he was fine. Ended up she wouldn't go so I promised her that I would take her out when we got home and I did for about an hour she ended up having a good time(and mad a beautiful Queen). I was just sad though because we were all apart for this fun night and my poor husband was feeling so horrible. So I give you Halloween, HO-HUM!
