TRICK-OR-TREATING

Trick-or-treating for Thursday will probably be postponed until Monday due to the weather. It is supposed to rain most of the day Thursday.

I will update through the website and emails. We will also call the afternoon class tomorrow if it is postponed.

Please stay tuned for more info.

Update

Well....I got the nasal mist for the boys today at the Franklin County Health Department. I was notified by a friend that they had some in stock, and they were free! We headed to Ottawa, and until we actually pulled in the parking lot I still was not 100% sure we were doing it. Well, I talked to friends at Children's Mercy, our doctor's office again & the nurses at the health department, and decided it was in the best interest of my kids to get them the vaccine.

I talked to Miss Jenny tonight and she got the vaccine for her daughter today too at Price Chopper in Gardner.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

H1N1 vaccine

I am really struggling with the H1N1 vaccine for my three boys. I have read through tons of articles on both sides, called my doctor's office, and spoke to several friends. The arguments for and against are both convincing, putting me (and many others) in the situation of not knowing what to do. I am going to keep calling my doctor's office to see when they get the vaccines in and then make a decision. I am happy to discuss what I have found, so feel free to call me with questions.

Please feel free to do your own research and make a decision that is best for your family.

The Franklin County Health department is doing vaccine clinics for certain age groups, and you can get on their list if you choose. I know the clinics will be offering the nasal mist for free, but I don't know about the injection.

It's almost time for Halloween....

Next Thursday we will do our annual trick-or-treating to the local businesses. We will go to 21 or so businesses.

Kids will need to bring something to collect their goodies!!

Our schedule for next Thursday will be a little different. Both classes will go trick-or-treating from 10:30 - 11:30. The morning class will dismiss @ 11:45 and the afternoon class @ 2:00.

I will post pictures next week!
