trick or treat...smell my feet



sometimes i wonder where the time went. wasn't it just yesterday that ryan and jen, chris and april and matt and i would hang out late into the evening. not a care in the world. well, maybe a small concern about what time we had to get up for work the next morning (but nothing a little coffee wouldn't fix).





tonight was hilarious ...ryan scouring the house looking for something to give the trick or treaters, he settled on pringles and nutra-grain bars (not as bad as the lady who handed out toothbrushes. NO JOKE!) ...speed pizza eating so we could get out trick or treating ....walking around the mclaughlin's neighborhood trying not to get run over by ninjas, fairies, spider-man and whatever that girl was that i am still trying to figure out ...settling in at ryan and jen's stealing maddie's candy ...watching aubrey eat nerds off the floor and watching logan climb up EVERYTHING.





we sat around for about an hour after the festivities just chatting, marveling at how big the kids were, how much they've grown and how fast it went.





i am happy that we are all still friends... our lives have changed quite a bit in the past few years and i am sure that they are going to change even more. but my hope is this is just the beginning of many fun times to come and i am glad that we get to share the joys of parenting together.

That is so true. It seems like we were all just planning our weddings and here we are parents! When did we grow up?

We had such a great time last night. It was so much fun torturing our poor children with costumes :) and watching them play together. It makes me very excited for the future and the friendships I hope our children develop with each other.

So glad we could enjoy the night together!

Love you guys,
Jen
