Peapod- this kid makes me happy cry every day.
I thought the happy crying would wear off with the pregnancy hormones but it hasn't.

Such darling pictures! I'm glad the kids had fun even if you don't like Halloween! Party pooper! ;)
but at least marketing somewhere has added purple and green to the halloween colors. that's nice.
What? you don't like Hallo-mean?? lol
It's a fun holiday. Why don't you like it?
The girls looked adorable. I was surprised to read that you still had candy left when you returned home. That's a shocker!!!!
Do you like Christmas? we wont be friends anymore if you say no. lol jk :P
Looks like everyone had a good time, in spite of the color scheme!
Wish we could have been there to celebrate with you!!
You happy cry still? Oh, I am SO SORRY about your burn. It looks terrible. The dessert looks wonderful. Is it "Death By Chocolate"? I need to try the chicken recipe. It looks awesome! I'll try not to get burned, though.
