Happy Halloween!

Buzz and Woody.... little Buzz was a bit under the weather, Woody- feeling GREAT!

Posing with cousins before filling the jack-o-lanterns... ready... set... GO!

And David and I went to a Halloween Party too... can you tell who we are? David's costume was not complete yet in this photo, he's missing his orange ascot- and really, we had two more members to our gang- I wanted to ask them first before posting. Fun times!

Why we don't co-sleep...

Some nights Owen will pad in to our room and crawl into bed with us, which is a very new occurrence for us. When he was a wee one, like still infant days, I would sometimes give into the post baby exhaustion and put him in bed with me when that is all he wanted, but he smoothly transitioned away from that with no bumps (that I recall). We put the boys together as soon as Owen was out of his crib and they have been content since. That is until recently when he has been joining us. He must come in the middle of the night and we will wake to find him in bed with us. I asked him one morning upon waking to his foot in my neck, "why do you come in here at night, O?" To which he responded: "because my mom and dad are super cool!" Aw.... he's a master schmoozer already!

The picture above- both boys- O and daddy- were OUT! They didn't even wake when I took this picture. It looks like the lights are on, but it is just from my flash. I thought it was pretty cute. David didn't when he woke up with a stiff neck. I do admit... I do sometimes enjoy the snuggles- because they are fast outgrowing this phase. I have to get it when I can!

A, a horseshoe, and a microrapter

My grandma gave me this pendant long ago. She was Catholic... I was baptized and raised Catholic as was my entire Irish Catholic family. I really love this pendant, and when I came across it the other day, I found a chain for it and started wearing it. The back has the Serenity Prayer (so relevant no matter what religion, right?). Anyway, Aidan was looking at my necklace the other day and said, "Oh mommy, that is so pretty! Look, an A, a horseshoe, and a microrapter! Do you really love microrapters mommy?"
