Halloween and putting up lights

Bronson was such a trooper on Halloween.  I thought for sure he would be so annoyed with his Mickey Mouse costume but he wasn't and even kept his ears on the entire night.  We went to a few houses up and down our street with some neighbors and the kids had so much fun.  Of course Bronson got ahold of a lollipop, chewed through the wrapper and was loving the orange sugar taste he discovered.  The fit he threw when I took it away was a lot of fun...

Mid November

My parents came out for a visit mid November mainly to see Margaret play in her last home game as a Saint Anselm Hawk Volleyball player.  It was so nice having them here for awhile and, lucky them, they got to experience their first long power outage due to Hurricane Sandy which required us to use our back up generator for a few days.

Marg's senior game brought back so many memories of my last game and it made me think back to all of the memories I have from college and playing volleyball.  The end of volleyball was such a bitter sweet thing.  Ready for it to be over but also never wanting it to end.

Marg, you're awesome!

I love how Bronson loves everyone especially my mom and sister.  He totally doesn't care if I'm around when they are with him, and I kind of love that...a lot :)

Everyone needs a little sugar cookie now and then right?
