Trick-or-Treat!

Spooky wishes to you all who celebrate! Once the last trick-or-treater leaves, it’s officially the busiest season of the year. Not only will I have a SIX-month-old in just three days, but my son is turning seven years old in just 19 days, and I am not okay. He’s the best big brother to his two little sisters. It will be a joy to celebrate him just before Turkey Day. Good luck to us all in the new month!
