Halloween

Its been over a month since my last post -- we've (really just me) been busy -- Leighton's Birthday, Vacation to Wine Country in California, I had a week in Boston for work, week in Chicago for work -- and magically now it is November!  Two days away from my - (cough) - 35th birthday, I sit here wondering how did I get to be 35, so fast, it seems like yesterday I was turning 25. The time just flies by the older I seem to get.  This "birthday weekend" is not being spent on living it up but spending a Saturday trying to encourage two little boys it IS pretty cool to pee in the potty and not a diaper.  I figured in between "pee pee time outs", I would posted a few pictures.

Halloween was enjoyed by all this year!   A last minute decision by the bossy one in the house, the kids became Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the parents were not given a costume assignment. I think we were both a little bummed out that we weren't apart of Leighton's family costume idea.

We (Randy and I) carved pumpkins -- the boys were ok getting their hand dirty -- Leighton really wanted no part of it.  Next year we may just paint them.

The kids enjoyed Trick or Treating, we let them do a few house on the street and they seem pretty content with that set up.  Leighton was more interested in handing out candy once she got home and sat out there for until we ran out of candy.  We had over 150 kids -- crazy huh??

Patiently waiting for her next trick or treater

We got a lot of compliments on our scary pumpkins.
