No "Best Friend" for Hayden

Well, we had an interesting experience this past weekend. We wanted to go to the Ute game but figured it would be too cold for the boys. So we asked Sarah and Great Grandma if the boys could come over and play with them during the game. Of course Sarah said yes 'cause she's so sweet and willing to help. Little did she know she was going to have an interesting night. The boys had a great time minus one problem. Hayden is apparently allergic to dogs. He has been around this pug dog before so I'm not sure why this time it affected him but it really did. Sarah gave us a call and luckily we were all ready on our way. This is what I found when I arrived.

I'm not kidding! His little left eye was pretty much a slit. And the face Will Smith is making is what I was feeling inside. I tried not to show Hayden because I didn't want to freak him out. Anyway, we left Grandma Lloyd's house and went straight to Albertson's and got him some Zyrtec. Here are some pics of him after the Zyrtec and the trip home. He already looked so much better. We put him in the bath to try and wash any of the dog off him because he said he was itchy all over. Anyway, I'm not sure what to do now. Do I need to have him tested to make sure that it was the dog and not something else I should know about? I don't know. I guess I'm going to call my pediatrician and see what she says. The good news is he is fine and is back to my handsome none puffy little boy. The next morning he asked me, Mom, are my eyes still puffy? I think he was a little worried. Poor kid.

Halloween

Here are some pics of the boys Halloween costumes. Hayden is Anakin Skywalk (in case you're not a Star Wars fan) and Xander was a spider. These pictures were actually from our ward chili cook-off/trunk or treat. (I won the firestarter award for the hottest chili, New Mexico chili baby.) On Halloween Xander was Yoda (he has lots of hand-me-down costumes) but I forgot my camera when we went to trick or treat with my Aunt so I will have to get some pictures from her because he was a pretty stinkin cute Yoda.
