Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween is a big deal in our house. Witches, pumpkins, ghosts, black cats, CANDY… the whole lot!  Little L was Little Bear for her Halloween party at school yesterday. It was the 1st of 3 costumes making the rounds. Today she’ll be “leaves changing colors on the tree” and and then a mermaid. She’s had it all planned out since early September.

And yes, I’m still around. No signs of baby just yet. Any day now!

Anyway, just checking in to wish you a safe and sugar-filled day! Here are a few fun Halloween link treats to celebrate:
