Trick or...barf?

Kaitlyn was so excited for Halloween this year. Jared and I got her primed for the occasion by taking her to the pumpkin patch, a Halloween event at the zoo and her daycare even had a big Halloween party as well. I dressed her up as little red riding hood and she looked so adorable. She even practiced saying "trick or treat" all week. We took her to the ward trunk or treat since it seemed a little safer than taking her door to door. Jared and I brought her around to several cars together and while she was holding hands with one of her friends I was turned around doing something else and I suddenly heard several people gasp. I turned around and saw that some kid had thrown up all over the ground in front of someone's trunk or treat set up. In my head I'm thinking "ew gross, someone's kid threw up" not realizing that "someone's kid" was my kid! To make a long story short we cleaned her up, got her in the car, started driving home and she threw up 3 more times in the car (thank goodness for leather interior)! She was sick for about 2 hours and completely fine the next day. Needless to say I went out and bought a new car seat as soon as possible. Moral of the story: never spend more than $10 on a Halloween costume and always attend school parties so you can monitor what your child eats. Happy Halloween!

Three more times in the car? Yikes! How did you handle that with being pregnant? You must have a strong tummy. Glad to hear that Kaitlyn wasn't sick the next day. It seems like you had a good Halloween anyway!

Poor Katie. It's a miracle that my kids didn't do the same. They ate pure junk all day! Her costume looked really cute, though! And I am still laughing that you bought a new car seat!
