...Halloween at home...

I guess a new post is long overdue...but to be completely honest...I've been enjoying my 'space & privacy' and even actually considered not blogging about my private life anymore and just maintaining my photography website...I know, how rude of me!!
...then I came home...


and was bombarded with friends asking me about our holiday and a husband that is pestering me to get my photos up online so his work mates can see them that I started to remember why I first started blogging...so I've given in...for the moment!! ha
I haven't finished processing all the photos (I'm still catching up on some clients photos that I took just before I left) so they may come over the next few weeks but I figured I'd start with Halloween and work backwards...
All I can say is that I LOVED being in the States for a bit of Halloween - just like I love Christmas there too. It was fun...but we arrived home on the 31st in time to take our own kids trick or treating as you can see from the picture above...Layne decided to become a Ninja witch and copy Jakes moves...hmmm


oh and we went shopping looking at all the Halloween stuff...We bought some halloween things for the kids, including a halloween carving set...and some Halloween lollies - they were pretty excited. I found these unreal cookie cutters at Crate & Barrel on Michigan Avenue...marked down for $2! For those who know me exceptionally well...I love collecting stuff like this...especially cookie cutters...and then decorating them....since I was completely jetlagged I made these the morning after Halloween at about 6am. I was sick of laying in bed wide awake!

We came home to 35 degree (c) temperatures and left chicago with 4 degree (c) temperatures that included flurries of snow.

Well I hope you don't stop blogging. It is fun that we can keep in touch from so far away. It looks like you had a real fun trip. I'm jealous that you have been to so many cool places. Other then a cruise to Mexico I have not left the USA, someday...
