What I wished I'd written and Halloween pictures

Lately there's been no time to write. Not even in my mind.

I hate that. 

Earlier in the week I wanted to tell you about Naveen's favourite word - cup. It sounds more like cap when he says it. He's obsessed with them. Especially the ones we're drinking from. Shaune finally learned to ask for an extra one at Tim Horton's. It sure does let you enjoy your coffee more. He just walks around holding that cup and chanting capcapcapcap.

And the other day when Deaglan accused me of calling him names because I said "Quit dilly dallying," I immediately thought of you. I knew you'd all get a kick out of that one. Also it's November and I signed up for NaNoWriMo again this year. But you know what I did last night when I finally could sit down with an hour to myself? I sipped on a glass of red wine and read my book - House Rules. 

Have you noticed my header? 

I haven't even gotten around to taking any Novemberish pictures to put up there. Maybe this weekend. Here are some pictures from Halloween.

 Gramma and Grampa came over on Sunday to carve pumpkins.


 We snapped some shots before it got dark and drizzly.


We made it all the way around the block. Deaglan asked to go home after the third house. We persevered. And most importantly? Enough kids came to our door that there are no Reese Peanut Butter cups left.

I have no self-control when it comes to chocolate and peanut butter.

    Oh, Kim, I just LOVE their costumes!! They are so adorable!
    I'm reading a Jodi book too, Mercy.
    I wish I was as brave as you to sign up for NaNoWriMo. But I'm scared of writing fiction and I'm not sure I could write non-fiction that anyone would want to read. Maybe someday.

    Great pictures, and I love your changing header :)

    I have missed you. I am so glad you posted photos of those sweet boys in their costumes. They are too cute. And I LOVE that Deaglan thought you were calling him a name when you told him no dilly dallying. That's funny.

    Take care and try to get more time for you, if that is possible.

    You gotta hand out candy you don't like so you won't have that problem! ;)

    They looked super duper cute!

    Kim, I'm glad you are doing NaNoWriMo too! Email me anytime for support:)

    I love it when you post your wonderful photos-it's so fun to get little glimpses into your life. Your boys look so cute!

    We had Reese's left. There is one next to me right now. Peanut butter cups and hot coffee-I'm helpless:)

    Beautiful, sweet-cheeked children!

    This Time Horton's, everyone chats about it on Twitter and I'm so out of the loop.
