jazzed that it was

(d.i. treasures are the best)

step aside, beckham

about kicking this
ball around...

for the 'cool kid' beanie...

hands clenched

showing me how big
and strong he is.

chicken wing

happy to be a chicken for halloween.

happy to hug his costume...every
single morning until halloween.

happy to have his picture taken...
at first...until he realized i
had plans to take zillions...
then came the meltdown.

happy halloween, folks.

park time (before we get snowed in for the winter)

went down slides

went on swings

played with trucks

taught b the importance
of writing "bennett
was here" in random places



ate chalk



it was a good day

the witches gathering

did you know that every year,
one chilly night in october,
when the moon is full,
witches gather to feast and
celebrate all hallows eve?

well, we do.
and this year noelle, the
witchiest witch of us all,
hosted it.

i went as abigail williams
(winona ryder) from "the crucible"

we played all kinds of witchy games.
cory was killed by a pumpkin
my drink was poisoned...we both
had to die dramatically in front
of all the other witches.

riley was the one that ended up
being the secret murderer of the night.

and i'm pretty sure emmy
won best costume...

i met all kinds of new witches also.

then we played mafia...best. game. ever.

oh, and don't let me forget all
of the delicious witch food noelle slaved over.
she's sort of a wonder woman hostess.

until next year, fellow witches!
(cackle cackle)

ps...for all those interested,
this witch got a new phone...yay!
