The fun has been, well, fun and the candy has surely been sweet! The kids definitely got enough candy to last awhile! Happy Halloween! Now onto November! [Already, holy crap!] đjenn Oh, also, this happened today too!
These topics really get me heated. I understand that everyone has and is entitled to their own opinions; these ones are mine.

Especially if you take into account how many times we were told he would be there for at least a month. However, those 12 days were definitely long seeming. The worst... Continue Reading →
