Making for PERFECT piles.
The last 2 years, we went to my sister's neighborhood for Halloween. Since they moved, we got to see our neighborhood this year. The kids had a Halloween parade and Trunk or Treat event that afternoon at school. When I picked them up, they were already ahead of the game with 2 bags full of candy.
We ate pizza for dinner and they were so anxious to get their costumes back on.
It's always that fine line of waiting for people to finish dinner and getting out so we have enough time to get home for bedtime. We started out about 6:45 pm and within 5 minutes, it started sprinkling and then turned into a very light rain.
No stopping us! I grabbed an umbrella and off we went! It's just water, right? I had to leave my good camera at home so I only got a few photos with my phone.
We also received the kids' school pictures this week. Such a difference over the last few years. We've gone from dreading them because the kids would never smile to dreading them because we can't decide on which ones to buy!
The did 3 poses of each child individually and then 3 poses of them together.
LOVE the larger black and white photo and the one of them hugging each other. They look so grown up, don't they?
For the first time in FOREVER, we don't have plans for Thanksgiving. I'm so conflicted about it. Part of me is happy that we'll get to spend the day together as just our small little family. And then the other part of me is sad because it's supposed to be a day to spend with family, meaning everyone. Creating new memories, I guess.
And, before we know it, Christmas will be here! We received a catalog from Target last week that was all about toys. I caught the kids looking through it and their sheer innocence and excitement was so contagious. It brought back such great memories from my own childhood.
I can't wait for the fun to begin!

Seems like there is a period of time when Christmas lost its magic - for me it probably started in college - but boy, nothing like having kids to bring it back! Emma is convinced she needs a baby doll that pees...me, not so convinced!
