We had so much fun last night. B didn’t really understand what to do so a lot of times he’d wait with a group of kids but leave before he got candy. So I’d have to bring him back up to the door. J was the cutest lion ever. B was Spider-Man.
Now I’m in full on party mode. I have so much to do and only 3 days to do it.

We had so much fun last night! DS1 loved ToTing. I had to carry him up to the first couple of houses and then we had to stop at the park to play, but after that he really caught on and had a blast! My favorite was that after he rang the door bell if the people inside didn't answer in 2.5 seconds he would knock on the door while shouting "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!"
Last night was probably the most talkative I've ever heard him. He never talks to strangers so I wasn't sure how ToTing would go, but he said trick or treat, thank you and happy Halloween at every house. And then when we would walk back down the sidewalk he would say "Ok, next house". We ended being out there for an hour and he probably would have gone longer but it was getting cold and we needed to get DS2 some dinner.
Also, after we got home he would help MH hand out candy and every time he would open the door DS1 would shout trick or treat before the other kids could. It was so cute.

We had a good Halloween! O was a bit crabby bc he only took a 30 min nap all day. But once family showed up he was fine. He was showing off his walking! He’s able to take 5ish steps now. I need to take a video.

Morning everyone!
We had a good night. We only stopped at 3 houses but C was actually having fun. He was getting crabby before we put his costume on so I thought it would be shit show. Instead he was calm and taking it all in and gave a couple smiles. We met our new neighbors finally. They have twins a couple months younger than C and apparently the husband is a photographer so he took our picture. They were really nice. It's making me sad that we're moving next year. Why did all these kids have to move in NOW??

I'm at work but I'm looking at jobs for MH. He better apply for them.
I have a state of the schools address to go to at lunch and then a fundraiser for the district clerk.
Oh joy.

Normal Wednesday over here. The office is really quiet today, I think it's me and 2 other people. There's usually 20+ people that sit in this area. Part of me wants to listen to Christmas music on pandora the other part of me wants to slap my hand for saying that.

I love Christmas, but I need to get through Thanksgiving first. No Christmas music for me until Black Friday. |

OK someone help me out.. we need baby gates and BRU has a flash sale right now so I want to order them before it ends at 6. Anyone have any tips for good or bad gates? Is pressure mounted ok for the top of the stairs or should we get a more permanent kind?

I was just looking at this one but one thing I read is not to get one with a bottom rail for the top of the stairs due to a trip hazard. I like the door part though. |

goldenlove we have a pressure mounted one at the bottom of our stairs and the boys have been able to pull it down. I would not trust it at the top of the stairs. My little sister went headfirst down the stairs as a chils after leaning against a pressure mounted gate. Top of the stairs I use one that screws into the wall.

We had a pretty good day yesterday, made it to the pumpkin patch (nothing like the last minute) and we were the only ones there so we got some really cute pics of A. We never get many trick or treaters, two groups for about 8 total. I think most parents take their kids to the various events at the park and shopping centers, etc.

Thanks that is pretty much what I was thinking. The bottom is more of a block but the top is full on safety. |

We didn't take A out last night. Thought about it but our neighborhood is pretty quiet and she's too young for candy, so we skipped it. But we did take her to our friend's party last Saturday dressed as Alice, with my H as the Mad Hatter and me as the Queen of Hearts. Next year we'll add it trick-or-treating.

Glad you were able to make it to the pumpkin patch. Did it finally cool down there? |

November! This is bonkers.
We had a great Halloween. J was off running while ToT with some older kids and seemed SO grown up to me. The street was a mob scene though, which was terrifying but one house handed out glow sticks (genius), so that helped. N was in the carrier and loved shaking candy and passed out when we walked home around 8.
Also N may be getting tubes for her bday..well a few days before. I'm waiting for the scheduler to call but we have to wait for her lungs to be clear first.
