Yep, we dressed the dogs up for Halloween this year - it took some convincing of Richard, but eventually he warmed up to the idea - especially once we realized they mark all the costumes 75% off by Halloween. We dressed Oz up as a fireman and Stella up as an angel. We really wanted to find her a little devil costume, since that fits her personality so much better than an angel, but since we couldn't find one, we settled for an ironic costume instead. She liked hers much more than Oz liked his fireman outfit (he really didn't like his hat), but eventually we had to take it off of her - when she started attacking her wings! We carved our pumpkin the night before Halloween this year. Richard carved a scary face pumpkin and we had at least a few comments from our trick or treaters that it was indeed a very scary pumpkin. Since Richard has the artistic talent in the family, my job was the scooping out of the pumpkin guts. Luckily, this year's pumpkin had great color and a great face to carve and not many guts at all - a nice change from one of our pumpkins a couple years ago. We only had about 20 trick or treaters, leaving us with about half of our candy supply left over. Luckily, we'll both be able to take some to work to share - we definitely don't need it around here - way too much of a temptation for me! Now that Halloween's over, we're getting closer and closer to my favorite holiday - Christmas! But, the rule in our house is no decorating until Thanksgiving is over, so I will be anxiously awaiting the weekend after Thanksgiving.
On the baby front, we are about 12 weeks along now and everything has been going smoothly. My appetite is still good (sometimes too good!), but I do still have to be careful about what I eat, as some things don't sit as well as others. From everything I've heard and read, things only get better in the second trimester and I am definitely looking forward to some increased energy. We hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween!
