i have finally made a decision about what i will be for halloween this year. of course, i won't spoil it right now, but i am really looking forward to all the prep for it. evan and i went to a costume shop near our house last week and wandered aimlessly through the aisles, looking for anything interesting to be. i tried on about 12 wigs because i thought that was the direction of my costume... it wasn't. i won't even have hair in the costume i've chosen. i am grossed out with the thought of being sexy on halloween. it repulses me. halloween is supposed to be spooky and silly. and that is what it will be this year. i will start hunting for my costume tonight! YIPPEE!

i saw a beautiful, awe inspiring bird swarm. how do they know to move in unison the way they do?

benjamin daniel. 8lbs. of perfect.

some amazing kids who've blessed my life immensely.
and another little darling has joined the fam.

i am looking forward to tomorrow night's vice presidential debates. it will be laughable, one for the history books. i am also excited to see how tina fey will make fun of it on saturday...
