We're all excited about Halloween tomorrow! We had a Halloween party/playdate today, which was a lot of fun. We made paper bats on clothes pins to decorate L's playstands, which are currently a haunted house. We have a bunch of silks hanging down, bats hanging from them and a pumpkin in there. Oh, and a very scary dragon.

Last night we had hot mulled cider and carved our pumpkins, listening to creepy music.

F is growing at an amazing rate. Crawling, wanting to be into everything. This evening he even got himself up on his feet, hands on the ground. It didn't last long, but he did it. I've been able to aid his curiosity a bit with random kitchen bowls and the booster/high chair. He loves throwing stuff down.

At the moment he is wide awake and wants nothing to do with sleep. So much for getting to bed early...
