This and That.

It's probably a little ridiculous how excited I got when I walked over to the kitchen table last week and saw Camden's latest artistic creation. I never thought I would be one of those moms-- you know, the kind that hoards every art project her child ever created. But I fear I'm going to become one, because I snatched up the piece of paper the moment I saw it, labeled and dated it, and stashed it away in Camden's Memory Box. But, really, his first smiley face (with hair!!) is worthy of this kind of excitement on my part, right? Just tell me yes.

I totally slacked on a Halloween post last week, and now it feels a little late in the game to do an entire recap of the night. The highlights were: Camden was an Angry Bird; Macey had an adorable pumpkin hat; Camden trick-or-treated with his cousins and some neighbors; Camden stayed out for over an hour, running from house to house, and never asking anyone to carry his overflowing pumpkin basket for him (last year, he pawned that basket off on me at like the 3rd house we hit up); Camden is more interested in the process of trick-or-treating than actually eating the candy (but no worries-- the candy hasn't gone to waste. It's a rarity these days to see Matt without a pumpkin basket dangling off his wrist.) Basically? Halloween was a big time hit this year.

No trick-or-treating for her this year, but she still got in the spirit of the night.
