There's been some glorious days for soccer in the last days of fall. R has just decided to take up the sport, which I'm really glad about. J1 is a pro. I have to really hustle if I want to have a hope at beating him.

We tried something a little different this year. It's a good thing we don't get a ton of trick-or-treaters, because it was fairly labour-intensive. But we had enough, and it was fun to develop the idea as we went (like the pumpkin/ribbon after the stapler didn't work properly).

Unfortunately, I was working on very little sleep, so I wasn't exactly the most pleasant mommy to work with.

Bye-bye October. Hello, November!
