Ahhhhh.... It's almost here. We are ready, at least I think we are, based on today's list. We have dd's costume and the candy. Decorations got up finally last week.

We have lots of children's picture books for fall and Halloween. I think I'll read some of my favorites with some pumpkin coffee this week. I miss those days...
