More.
Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 07:26PM We had more kids this year than we had last year for Halloween which is pretty amazing since we had between 50-75 kids last year. This year I would say that we had well over this - close to 100. It was awesome. Our whole neighborhood is out on their porches giving out candy, trick-or-treating, chatting, sharing "spirits".
The weather was stunningly perfect for Halloween - windy, clear with clouds blowing by almost full moon. My parents stopped by toward the end of the evening and we took Marley for a nice walk, checking out all of the spookiness on the streets nearby.
I should have taken more photos but everything went by quickly. I will post a photo of my bumblebee niece and her friend "This little Piggy" The two of them were beyond adorable!
Today was a nice day - shopping and lunch with mom. No major purchases just a new kitchen trash can and a teeny little outfit for my next niece. It was just too sweet to pass up. I can't believe that I will have another niece come March! The only downside to the day was my sudden burst of tears in the middle of the store as I was looking at the little outfits. All of a sudden out of the blue I was overwhelmed with "I will never be able to get these little clothes for a baby that is mine."
Most days I think I have accepted my infertility, other times -like today, it just hits me out of the blue and I am not quite sure to do with the emotions. I was able to take a deep breath and keep going today and I am tearing up a little as I write this.
Tomorrow it's Monday again and back to work - but for tonight it's time to just be cozy at home. Marley is so mixed up by turning the clocks back she went upstairs to her bed at 7:15!

We got ZERO trick-or treaters which really made me feel lousy, because I actually made up treat bags this year, so now I have to dis-assemble them all.
