Happy Halloween!

My little pirates have seized every opportunity to get into costume.  And even though they have already collected more than enough candy for any little kid over the past few days, they are eagerly awaiting tomorrow night...and I am sure they are dreaming about x-large pixie sticks and twix bars...

We had a great weekend - Boo at the Zoo, the Jazz 1/2 Marathon, the French Quarter for beignets and the search for the perfect pumpkin, a quiet afternoon with an old friend and his precious family, and a gorgeous Sunday spent mostly outside, carving pumpkins and enjoying the gorgeous weather.  Oh, and my first week at my new job...so far so good...I promised I would give myself a few months before I made a decision about whether it is right for me, but it feels right after just one week.
