Happy Halloween

Having an excuse to dress up in costume is always a blast. The best excuse is dressing up because your toddler is trick-or-treating for the first time. What's really great is a munchkin trick-or-treater to take to the office, as part of your costume prop, making a guest appearance to seal the deal for the costume contest victory! And yes. My husband will use all the leverage he can get!

In the weeks prior, my husband and I discussed that our first real Halloween with Layla is going to be fun, yet also a bummer because we turned down some of the year's most talked about Halloween parties. But as we put on our family costume and couldn't keep from laughing, we realized that no party could be as much fun as starting a family tradition. I'd have to say our daughter truly views us as "Heroes in a half shell," at least that's what I'd like to think.

Parents and and families be safe tonight. Have fun. And Happy Halloween.
