Halloween 2012

Trick or treat was the coldest one yet...that I can remember as a mother of kids.  Brrr.  Wet and cold.  It drizzled the whole time we were out there.  I would like to say it didn't slow us down - but it did.  Our hands and ears were frozen.  The winds were so strong it was blowing my umbrella away.  Jack was slow to the neighbors' doorstep and we couldn't keep up with Olivia's brisk jog from house to house.  We stayed out there for about 20 minutes or so then we called it a night.  Although, the fun was just about to begin once we arrived back home.  Our family was there and we had quite a spread of food and there were more goodies for the kids to open.  Olivia and Jack had more fun answering our ringing doorbell and passing out the candy to fellow trick or treaters. 

We just love Halloween over here!  I love all the anticipation, and seeing all of our cute neighborhood friends dressed up.  I feel like a kid again re-living my excitement through them.  Another thing that's so fantastic about Halloween - in my opinion, it kicks off the Holiday season.  Lots to look forward to the next couple of months.  And truth be told - I enjoy the colder weather and enjoying time indoors.  We exhausted the great outdoors this summer/early fall and I'm ready to slow down and nest a bit...
