it was better this year, so very much better

 Everything about Halloween was like a walk in the park compared to last year. Yes, I still stressed out that we were getting out the door on time (Rodney is not fun when he is tired), and yes, I was scrambling to light the jack o' lanterns and put on the spooky music before leaving our house (and I don't know why because we never get ANY trick or treaters). But everything else was cream cheese.  Phoebe loved trick or treating. She took to it like a fish to water. And except for Rodney's crying bursts, he loved it too.

 Leavitt cousins!

One of my favorite things of where we live is our neighbors. We have wonderul, lovely, great neighbors all around us. By happenchance a few families trick or treated with us in the same direction and we had a great time.

 Autumn is the baby that always makes me want to have more babies. Beautiful.

Rodney knew he was a bunny and would grab his ears and yell "MUNNY!" "MUNNY!". He even got down on the ground in front of my mom and walked on all fours like a bunny. Hilarious.

Speaking of grandma curtis, after trick or treating we did our "rounds" which equals driving around to all of the grandparents and going inside to show off our costumes and treats.  We put kids in and out of car seats 13 times last night. THIRTEEN! That is true familial dedication. I was so tired by the end of the night that I slept through half of Monster House with Ty and went to bed after the sugar laden children closed their eyes.
