Tomorrow is the most exciting non-holiday of them all for kids. Sure turkey is nice at Thanksgiving and Christmas and Labour day is fun in the sun but there is nothing like a massive sugar high while dressed up like Harry Potter to bring meaning to kids lives. This year Carly is going as a witch or a ladybug and Andrew is going as a pumpkin or a bear. Tomorrow when we go to the hospital for trick-or-treatment and a doctors appointment I will dress up like my radiation oncologist (think doctor with white hair and a penchant for nuking tumors). They will have candy and costumes and good times all around. I think we will make a morning of it and stay for lunch too (mmmmm hospital food). I'm feeling more tired as the days pass and am making more trips to the little boys room but hopefully those things won't affect our plans for tomorrow.
Also, today marked my half-way point for this 5 week round of chemo and radiation. Only 12 more radiation treatments to go. Ya-hoo!
Happy trick-or-treating!

I would argue that Christmas might beat out Halloween for the length of anticipation (already started). And the whole mystery of how Santa actually gets in the house. But undoubtedly it was an awesome night. Could hardly believe Emileigh went out without a coat on! Jamie managed to meet everyone along the way, find out what they had for dinner and whether or not they had pets. He also bailed down the stairs at one home and came back with a bloody nose from the face plant. After he was cleaned up and cauterized - he went back for more!
We missed you guys this year but will send photos of the event!
Love Gill,James, Em and Jamie
