Too cool for school supplies?  Never!

How is it Halloween already?!  I don't even have anything clever to say, just this shock that the year's almost over.  Last Halloween, Char Bar had just learned to roll over, and this year I had to put the pumpkins on the mantel so she wouldn't run off with them. 

So yeah, like every other parent, I'm exhausted.  So much so that I sometimes wish I could trade all my shoes for a nap.  But I'm also -- happy.  Because that's one of the things about being busy.  The little things that used to bother you seem kind of ridiculous.  Mostly because they're replaced by big things, like trying to stop your toddler from racing across the street.  But also because being in charge of a life other than your own has a way of putting things in perspective.  

So happy Halloween.  I'm grateful that I get to spend even a little of mine with you.

And also that the husband snagged me some pumpkin M&Ms.

Oh, so sweet! Love those sweaters! Great Halloween costuming for you guys! It was cold and windy here. Only a few trick-or-treaters. All the best to a beautiful November! I hope your weather has been good!

Such a spectacular and inspiring post! Love these Halloween outfits! So glad you guys are having a beautiful fall 🍁🎃💕🍁🎃 Thank you so much for your comments! I enjoy them so much. Well...I have I guess started a second phase with the RP. Hopefully, it won't put off those few who have joined on Urstyle..but the trailer park washed away recently, and they had to relocate to an old apartment building. (Of course, it has been refurbished, and they only have to pay half the rent since they were displaced) so hopefully more opportunities await!

Eeeeeeeeee!! So much awesome-ness in this post! Where do I begin? First off, your outfits are epic! The first one reminds me of candy corn, which is perfect for the holiday! The second outfit is so cool with the jewel tones, and that spider purse! 😍 The third one is my favorite - so much kitschy Halloween nostalgia!! Your bow, bag, and tights are perfect! Your husband's handiwork is very impressive, as is the fun graveyard cake your mom made. Last but certainly not least - cutest Halloween group costume ever!! That was such a treat to see at the end of the post! ✏️💕🖤🎃

Great colors and outfits in this post. Your family Halloween photo is precious and those orange and black tights/socks really scream Halloween!! As soon as I saw it, I knew the cake had to be made by your mom!
