I will admit...it's been hard to trying to get back into the swing of things. I've been in a funk lately. Honestly, this last half of the year has been quite a challenge. I've had days when I just didn't want to get out and see people (even more so than usual) that the hubby had to take over a lot of stuff. The not-so-good stuff seem just to keep on coming...sigh....

This is just a drive-by post to say thank you for all the well-wishes regarding my eldest son's surgery. I'm sorry I haven't been able to read your blog and comment.

I'll be in Twitter and Instagram once in awhile, though, so I'll update there when I can. See y'all soon.:)

It was another great Halloween this year, despite the cold and rain:) Here are some pics taken. Enjoy:D For those curious, my eldest's son costume is inspired by the anime TV series Attack On Titans . Candies!!!! My Sherlock Holmes interpretation:D Because I'm a nerd, I even did one buttonhole red like Benedict Cumberbatch's coat. Trick or treat! One of our neighbours always do an awesome job every year decorating. How was your Halloween?
