We had a really fun time during Halloween season. We went to 4 different events and Luke got lots of candy.
The weekend before Halloween, we went to a small fall festival way out east in Apache Junction. It was put on by a family where one of the women is in Shelley's Mothers of Multiples group. Luke had a good time.
On the Wednesday before Halloween, we went to a festival put on by the Southern Estates ward, which was our previous ward. We invited Robert's sister Stephanie last year, and her family liked it so much that they decided to go again this year. We didn't take any pictures at that party.
On the night before Halloween (Saturday). We went to 2 Trunk-or-Treat parties. We went to our own ward's and Shelley's parents' ward's. We dressed Luke up as Luke Skywalker. Robert dressed up as Darth-Vader since he is Luke's father. For those who don't understand the correlation, ask your closest living geek. These parties were where Luke loaded up on candy. He didn't mind at all sharing his candy with Mommy and Daddy.
As you can see in this picture, Shelley is starting to get pretty large. (That's Shelley's word, not Robert's. Robert would never use that word to describe Shelley.) She has been getting along pretty well. She has met others that have delivered triplets and are amazed how well she's doing this late into the pregnancy. On Monday, she will have gone 30 weeks and we'll have 5 weeks to go, if everything keeps going so well. She is now seeing the doctors once a week. They want to keep a watch on the fluid that 2 of the babies have been collecting. The word the doctors have used to describe her pregnancy so far is "unremarkable", which is a good thing.
Now if everyone thought our lives were crazy enough already. Fate decided to jam another wrench into our already spinning out of control cogs. On Monday, October 25, Robert was in a car accident. Fortunately, neither he, nor the occupants of the other car got hurt, but his Prius sure did. The accident totaled it. The Prius was Robert's compadre for over 5 years, so he had a hard time letting go of it. However, after 2 weeks with a rental, he was able to find another car, not quite like the Prius, but another Toyota. This time he got a Camry.
So, the next time we see any of you that we haven't seen for a while and you ask Robert, "What happened to your Prius?" Don't be surprised if he asks, "Don't you read our blog?"
I have had my Camry for 7 years now, and it has almost 200K miles on it. They are fantastic cars, and they fit 3 car seats in the back if needs ever be... ;)
