I am not very in love with desert living after last week!
Poor Little Miss Reagan got stung by a scorpion! It was under a pillow on the couch. I do not like AZ wildlife - bugs included! So a call to the pediatrician and poison control let us know to just wash with soap and water and put a cold wash cloth on it. You don't have to worry unless she starts drooling uncontrollably. And it takes 6 hours for the effects of the poison to peak. ARGH - information that I wish I did not need to know!
And that was after Jill (our occasional babysitter) got stung last Thursday while playing with Reagan on the floor in the family room. She was OK too, but enough is enough!
Rod has become the scorpion hunter! He has purchased a black light and searches through the house after it's dark! Last night was the first night he didn't find one! The exterminator explained that they come out during the day when it warms up from where they are hiding in the walls - makes me feel great!!!!
Taylor had a trip to the ER after heading 3 balls in her final soccer game Sunday. They only played 4 last weekend (yes, that was heavy sarcasm!) She was OK and took Monday off school to rest and recuperate! No child should have to do that! 2 back to back games each day left her exhausted and disgusted at 3 losses and one tie. We have had a welcome break from practice and have one more tournament this weekend for the season to end. I guess there won't be enough girls to play this next season since we have reached the high school age and most schools have teams that they will play with - we don't so Taylor is HAPPY to take a break. Now to figure out what to do next......
We had a great Halloween! Reagan and Matthew went trick-or-treating with Reagan's boyfriend Chance and his sister Vail. We made it about an hour and headed home. Taylor went with Amelia and her mom Jen to trick-or-treat. They had fun and Jen and I have decided that this year was it - they are too OLD to go without the front of Reagan :)))
Here is also a picture of our pumpkin!
And a quick little video of just good clean fun (excuse the corny pun!)

OMG that is so cute. But it was Reagan in the background that had me giggling. Sounds like my house.
