Happy Halloweeeeeen! (Yeah, I am aware that it was yesterday)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Quick post today...we had a wonderful time all day yesterday. We were introduced to the new Bio Channel series, Celebrity Ghost Stories. Lucky for us there was a marathon on, score. (If you are slightly inclined to believe in energy after death...this show is for you! Some stories were creepy, but the majority of them were more comforting then anything else.)
We also experienced our first Sherwood street Halloween house party! We had the pleasure of meeting a nice family on a few of our walks along this adorable street and they were kind enough to invite us to their Halloween party. Little did we know that the ENTIRE street shuts down and it turns into a Mardi Gras for children. Seriously, it was insane! I wish I had pictures. Soooooo many fantastic costumes and house decor. I can't even explain it. Plus - as we stepped up to our new friends, the Hewit's home we saw a familiar face! Both Pj and I recognized a pal from different phases in both of our lives. (Mine from high school and his from college!) Small world, I say. We were so happy to get re-acquainted with Ann Marie and to meet her new husband, Jeff. The get-together was filled with other couples manuevering the life of a first child, (all under the age of 1.) It was kind of surreal actually...meeting so many couples basically in the same life place as you. Unfortunately, we had to leave early and didn't get to partake in the latter adult festivities, (Jasper's bedtime was way past due) but we had a wonderful time meeting everyone. Thank you Ellen, Tad & Britton for opening your home to us!

(Ugh, still stewing over my lack of pics from the street party...)
