1. always look for your costumes early if your child wants to be lightning mcqueen. because every other 2 T child in the world wants to be that, too.
2. make sure both of your children have good naps before the pumpkin patch. otherwise all you'll get is pictures that reflect a serious lack of sleep.
3. don't let your kids watch "regular" t.v. after 5 p.m. there are some seriously scary halloween commercials.
4. pumpkins can be fun. watching caleb smother his pumpkin with finger paints - shirt off, with reckless abandon - makes me want to get a huge one next year and even scoop out pumpkin guts.
5. fall means cozy feety pajamas and snuggling up with each other while the rain does its thing outside. i have a new appreciation.
6. babies don't like being dressed in costumes. it's tough to blame them, really.
7. halloween should always be on a saturday. it should be a rule. i refuse to participate again until it makes its way back to saturday.
8. my sisters come through for me always. one found the perfect lightning mcqueen hat for caleb when amazon failed us. and threw in an outfit for kenzie. and dropped it off on my porch. and the other loaned us the sweetest little girl bumble bee costume. i love that norah and kenzie were the same little bees for their first halloween.
9. we miss those we can't be with on special days. love you, caden and norah. love you awmie and papa. love you uncle david and auntie may may.
10. love being with the cutest little superheroes, the giraffe, the rocker, the pirate, the grandparents, the bouncy slide, the bouncy everything.
