Happy Halloween!

We had a nice Halloween yesterday. I love the dress up and imagination portion of the holiday (as well as the candy- who can turn down sweets?) Mirabel is still too young for candy, so she just dressed up and ran around. We sent her to a festival party with my parents and she loved looking at all the other costumes.

We went down to visit my sister, her husband and their new little baby, Korbin, who was born exactly 18 months after Mirabel. He's wearing the little pumpking tshirt and socks we got for him. He was a peapod for the evening (same costume that Mirabel wore last year.) What started as an odd family joke has now turned into a mini-streak. Let me explain. My brother's birthday is on May 22. He married someone whose birthday is on March 22, and they decided to get married on July 22, which was a Saturday the year they wed. They told me I should have my baby on the 22, which I actually did. (April). Now Korbin popped out on Oct 22. Kat (my sister-in-law) said she can't handle the pressure. They aren't expecting or anything, but it will be interesting to see if anyone else manages to get a 22nd birthday!

Anyway, Korbin is in the picture with us. Frankly, I can't imagine heading back into the newborn days right at the moment. My sisters are almost exactly 18 months apart and my mom had two other kids at home...but I'm just now feeling like I'm emerging from the baby fog tunnel and I would like to enjoy a little bit of time there before heading back in.
