Catching Up Part 1 (Halloween)

Yes, I have become a blogging slacker, big time. I could make excuses like, well, I have a new baby in the house, or I'm busy with a 3-year old, etc. etc., but instead I'll just get to it. :)

This year, Halloween was a blast. I was aching to throw a party though, but that's ok...next year. ;) My mom threw an awesome party. We dressed up, decorated cakes, colored masks, not to mention all the yummy food we ate. It was a blast. My mom is the best hostess! Cody was able to wear two different costumes this year. My friend let us borrow a dinosaur costume that he was dying to wear, but then my mom bought him a spider-man costume which he absolutely loves. So he was torn on which one to wear. He ended up wearing the spider-man one for my mom's party and the dinosaur one for trick-or-treating. Speaking of which...trick-or-treating was a little different this year. It was pouring rain, so Steven and Cody weren't gone long. Samantha and I stayed behind and had a little girl time. She, by the way, wore the same pea pod costume Cody wore when he was brand new for my mom's party. I thought it would be cute if all my babies wore the pea pod costume on their first Halloween.

Anyway, it was a great Halloween! Can't wait for next year!!
