The best/worst Halloween treat

    So, we have a fish! One of our new neighbors had the 'brilliant' idea to hand out live goldfish to all the neighborhood kids trick-or-treating and Charlie was only too happy to bring one home. My older kids will tell you I made them return goldfish in the past when they won them at the local carnival but, of course, the baby of the family gets a fish and, what does mom do, orders all the supplies in a hurry and has this fish swimming pretty in Charlie's room in just a couple short days. And if he dies, yes, I will replace him. (Insert maniacal laughter here.)

 

Welcome to the family, Finn!

    And another new gel nail compilation to enjoy!

 

    And Greg's birthday gift arrived a few days early. He's pretty 'fired-up' about turning 52 in just a few short days.

 

    And the cat is quite fascinated with our newest family member. 

I can't tell if she's standing guard or trying to catch a snack.

    So, as I mentioned, we're just days away from celebrating Greg's birthday. There's only 195 more sleeps before Charlie graduates from elementary school. And only 47 sleeps until Christmas! Oh, and the results of the election came back more positive then we hoped, now lets just hold tight to hope until January 20th when it all becomes reality.
