Right now Atticus is sorting through his candy bucket, exclaiming over and over, "Look at this, Mom!! Look at this! Taste this one, Momma, it's so yummy!" What joy.

Samuel came down with a pretty bad cold last night, so Dave stayed home with him while Atticus and I went to a "Trunk or Treat" at the church, with carnival to follow. Atticus, dressed as a knight in shining armour, or "prince," was in awe of the whole experience. I guess he doesn't remember much from last year, because he seemed surprised that people kept throwing candy into his bucket as he walked from car to car. He won a few prizes at the bean bag toss, and ducky grab, and even had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles painted on his face. His favorite part of the evening was attacking the young men with his pretend sword, though. They were good sports to play along.

My keys have been lost for almost a week now. A certain little resident of this apartment, about four feet tall, is the main suspect for the crime. Been searching all morning. I've found three old pacifiers that I thought were history, but no keys.
