Busy, Busy, Busy

Yes, we are here still. Yes, I am posting some halloween pictures. Things seem to be hectic around the Hudrlik household but I guess that it is just the typical things that make life crazy. I have been busy at work as it always is in the fall with employee benefits. I have been out on the road doing benefit meetings and this past week I was at our nuclear plants. Very interesting experience. At one of the plants, we were in the secured areas. Security was tight to get into this area and we had to have escorts at all times. I even had to have someone sit outside the room that used for pumping. She couldn't just come back and get me, she had to wait outside the room for me. I saw men with machine guns a bit more than I am used to in a typical day. I am so glad that week is over. I am exhausted because I had to be up at 4:30 2x. Most of you know that is not a good thing for Hope.

Halloween was good. As usual, we had lots of kids and made many of them screem. Once again, we were the cool halloween house with parents driving their kids up into our cul de sac just to come here. Hailey went trick or treating to all the houses in the cul de sac. She was mostly concerned about other houses not being too scary. Once we got back to our house, I had to carry her because our house was too scary with the "smoke" (fog machine). Chad was the King as in Burger King. Parents and kids found it amusing, I continue to find the King disturbing.

Kids both started being sick on Friday evening. Jack has his first very stuffy nose. Hailey a runny nose and a low fever. Despite that, Hailey and I went to the Gopher hockey game on Friday evening. She had fun...got to give Goldy a high five, eat popcorn and watch the cheerleaders. The extra hour of sleep last night really didn't mean much as Hailey was up with her fever and Jack fussed all night with the stuffy nose. Why don't babies know how to breathe through their mouths? Oh - Jack cut a tooth about 10 days ago too so I sure that is adding to his fussiness. A bit early for teeth wouldn't you say - prior to 5 months.

Chad is out of town Monday through Thursday. Wish us luck. Thankfully Grandma Jan is coming to help out. Hopefully the kids will both be feeling better so they can enjoy playing with her.
