post halloween.

it's all over. halloween is done for another year... or is it?
halloween is everyday... at least in my world. however, with halloween over that means, all those seasonal halloween stores will be on clearance, just in time for me to gather new stuff for my new condo i plan to be closing on in just over two weeks!
last night i just hung out with family and barrowed the baby, lily, my cousin's daughter. i took here trick'r treating for her first time, at age 13 months. what a cute little black cat she made.the above is a photo of my little brother trying to stabalise lily so we coudl try to get a photo of her in costume for her mom. we made it to 4 whole houses, she just stared with wide eyes, silent as the night for those four houses, a candy clutched in each hand. she tried to double up on the candy she was holding and held a wrapped kit-kat to her mouth. when we got home, prying the candies from her hands we found she managed to chew a hole in the wrapper and was eating the sugary innards. close to sleep? not by a long shot, she just wanted to play, and play and then play. finally she was entertained with an empty box for quit some time and then grabbed her bottle and made motion to pick her up. i laid her to my left side, on my arm and she drank her bottle a few minutes before putting it on her chest with her arms wrapped around it and went to sleep. so cute. while i hope to have a kid someday, it's fun just to barrow one for a little and then give it back.
happy halloween.
