Lions, and Croup, and Candy . . . Oh My!

Yeah, I'm cool. I've got candy.

Kaia and I were discussing that in your twenties you choose whether you want to stay up all night, but in your thirties it is the choices you've made that keep you up. That being said, Evie Lu has given us quite the eventful week.

Tuesday night we called ask a nurse about Evangeline's cough and labored breathing. We were certain she had croup, but the nurse's reaction sent us into panic mode. We were instructed to call 911 immediately. Evie Lu and Kaia were whisked off in an ambulance while I followed in the car. The emergency room doctor gave our little girl steroids and some other medication and sent us home. Whew.

After trick or treating thumb sucking and dad hugs are necessary.


Kaia and Evie Lu stayed home the next day and I think Kaia and Oscar the cat were the worse for wear. Evie Lu loves to try and steer Oscar by his tail, loves to hug him, and if he would sit still for it I'm sure Evie would try to dress him in doll clothes. We have a very patient cat and Kaia deserves the mother of the year award.

Story time with mom helps little lions settle down.


Oh Halloween Evie Lu and Kaia hit the mall to do trick or treating and our lion was a big hit. Of course we have a time delayed lion as Evangeline gets shy in front of people, but bold as soon as walks away. Kaia would ask Evie, "What does a lion say?" Evie Lu would stand silently staring at the people holding candy. Kaia tells the nice people, "I'm sorry she's shy." My ladies take five steps away and then Evie roars and says, "tick or tea." Maybe we should be off to see the wizard for our cowardly lion.

The End
