Malek got sick and so generously shared it with Zayne and I. So, being housebound and not feeling so well, we made the most of it. The boys are starting to notice Halloween items in stores and programs on TV. I figured it was a good way to get them distracted. I pulled the new Halloween pajamas out of the closet and surprised them. Yes...long pants and long sleeved isn't the most appealing when it's 98 degrees outside, but we were all stuck inside with the AC running so we may as well be cozy and happy. They went crazy with joy. Malek calls them his 'Haunted Mansion' pajamas. They had a few surprises throughout the day. Lunch was Halloween themed with Halloween shaped chicken nuggets, corn, and bug shaped fruit snacks. At bed time they discovered that the mummy and skeleton on their pajamas glow in the dark. It was hard getting them to sleep they were so excited about it! After a full day, Malek asked to be a gorilla for Halloween so he can scare all of the girls. He wanted to be the scariest thing he could think of...it's a toss up between a gorilla and a monster.
Today we got a package from my mom with a life size puzzle of a tiger. They boys put worked together to complete the puzzle. Then they laid down and measured if they were as big as a tiger. It was a great distraction from not feeling so well. In the box was a picture of me when I was about Zayne's age. Malek saw it and asked if he could put it on his wall. In his words, "It looks better than the picture of my class!" I love his thinking and excitement over the little things.
