"God doesn't give children with special needs to strong people; He gives children with special needs to ordinary, weak people and then gives them strength. Raising a child with special needs doesn't take a special family, it makes a special family."--Author Unknown

Halloween Party

Yesterday was our ward's Halloween party. Seeing as we have lived here for over five years and have yet to go to a ward party we thought we should go to this one. The kids were really excited to get dressed in their Halloween costumes. Matthew is a pirate, Josh a skeleton, Daniel a bat, and Sarah is a bee. The party was packed so we didn't last too long, but hey we made it at least. While we were there we played hot potato with a pumpkin, we did a bean bag toss, and we sampled the chili from the chili contest. The kids had fun.

Daniel is still taking swimming lessons, but Thursday he had a bad experience. To pass his class he has to hold his breath and stay under water for three seconds. His teacher pushed him under and kept him down for three seconds, but he wasn't ready before he got pushed under. He came up screaming and continued to scream the whole rest of the lesson. I hope he will be able to handle the lesson on Monday. Keep your fingers crossed!
