First Snow and Gearing Up for Halloween

This past week brought us our first snow of the season! I love the snow. Any afternoon news cast that predicts snow later that night will have me constantly checking the windows for approaching clouds. I get sooo excited for the clouds to roll in and love the sounds of the snow tinking off the windows in our bedroom. I always get bummed that the snow may have moved out by morning. This week, this was not the case. The snow came in early while I was still at work, so I constantly found myself looking out of the window at work. It snowed through the night and didn't lift until late the next morning. Later in the week we got our second helping.

As we all know, Halloween is fast approaching and Marielle is getting anxious to give her mouse costume another try this year. Last year, for her first Halloween, my Mom made her the cutest mouse costume. Sadly, the fabric store didn't have patterns small enough for our little one, and my Mom had a hard time scaling it down. It was awesome, yet a little big. This year, we think we are in business. We will save the mouse pictures for the 31st, but to get you in the spirit, here's our little devil.
