Happy Wednesday, friends! Did you all have a nice Halloween? We had a couple hundred trick-or-treaters come through. Remember several weeks ago when I was worried I overbought Halloween candy at Costco? Well, I was glad to have it all.

Aaron and I got back yesterday afternoon, and we were exhausted from all of the fun we had this weekend.
