Halloween is HERE..

Well the kids are excited and it's time to trick or treat!! It's chilly today so we are going to have to change up on the costumes.. Kennedi's Indian costume will be too cold so she's going to be a witch. Keeli is still stuck on the zombie bunny, but the bunny costume will not keep her warm enough. She will be a zombie soccer player. I went to sift through what was left over at the store just for a back up and NOTHING was really left. We just have to go with whats around the house. We've yet to carve a pumpkin!! Yikes. I think we will do that in a few. Maybe even roast our pumpkin seeds.

I remember this time last year I was in a panic over all the candy and how would Keeli even enjoy this day ever again. I've come to realize you just do what you did before. Before diabetes I'd of never let her eat her whole bag of candy so why fear she will want to now? We will go trick or treating have a blast, hope to stay warm... Come home check the candy and I'll let her pick out 30 carbs worth, stick a little insulin in her arm and all will be fine. One good thing is with treats like this, we can put them in out treat jar that we use for lows. We will be stocked for a long while. She told me one day she loved having lows because then she could eat candy with out a shot! :( That makes me sad BUT she was smiling so I pretended to agree. I'm sure tonight when I check her she will run a little high from sugar and excitement but at least she gets to be a kid. I'll worry about all the diabetes stuff so she won't have to. We will prep for our walk, I'll have her a tad higher then normal... so we won't have to worry about a low. If we are lucky we will come home to a good number. I feel like preparing for things helps. It's great when it works out. With diabetes though some days it doesn't matter what you do it tends to rebel. I'll post pictures of the beauties!! and that poor pumpkin that's been neglected. Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful Halloween!!
