Oh, hi November. You've been deep and meaningful so far, haven't you? Kind of sucked the inspiration out of me for a minute there.
It's a good thing my posts are all buried in feed readers Internet-wide as souls braver than my own attempt NaBloPoMo (that sounds like something you shouldn't do in front of your mother, doesn't it?). That said, I got my VERY FIRST BlogHer ads check today. It's tiny. But I'm still excited. :)
I tell you what. Since I don't have anything interesting to say, I'll give you PICTURES! I know, Halloween was two weeks ago. I'm a slacker.
Quentin INSISTED on being a ghost again this year. Strangely, he seems to be tired of my photography already.
Another recycled costume, this one from Quentin's 2-year-old Halloween. Jude? Doesn't care. He's got pizza, yo.
That said, I cannot even BEGIN to explain to you how adorable it was to watch these two knock on doors together. Jude even seemed to completely grasp the concept that OMG STRANGERS GIVING ME CANDY!
Sadly, candy did not stop the tantrums which resulted from trick-or-treating on 1/2 hour of nap-sleep. It also didn't help Mommy's camera auto-focus in the dark.
At the end of the night, we were all happy to go home. See that bucket the ghost is carrying. That's the candy bucket the kids shared (I know, I'm awful). And it was gone in a week.
Happy Fall!

Daily Gratitudes
- My son is almost 5. FIVE! It's bittersweet.
- My son is almost 2. TWO! It's mostly bitter. But also kind of sweet. Because, you know, he'll be civil soon, right? RIGHT?
- Grocery shopping alone. Even though it's kind of a pain in the ass, it's also kind of BLISS.
- Making plans for the future. No matter how everything turns out in the end, there's just this kind of hope that comes with making plans and having dreams. It's nice.
