Happy Halloween!

*I was never a child that enjoyed dressing up (and still could do without it as an adult).

*I was never a child that enjoyed knocking on stranger's (or friend's) doors any time of year, whether I was getting candy or not.

*I remember sitting in our house with the lights off so that we would not have to hand out candy (and can say that I have done the same thing as an adult - I mean honestly we have an insane number of kids that come to our door every year and never have enough candy - and darn it, it is expensive! I do enjoy see the costumes though).

*Halloween is nowhere close to my favorite day - but I tolerate it.

*I did not buy Ava a costume this year, but a t-shirt instead and a hat we got at a shower. (she still looks adorable if I do say so myself).

*We have always bought Obie something ridiculous to wear (this year was no exception).

*We are going to dinner with friends tonight (honestly hoping it will cut down on the number of times I have to answer my door).

All of this said.....

Hoping you all have a blessed Halloween (any way you choose to spend it!)
