So it's been a little while. There are two things I need to catch you up on.
First, Halloween was a blast. The kids loved it! This was the first year they really understood what was going on and looked forward to trick-or-treating. Since I rarely let them eat candy, they adopted a unique trick-or-treating strategy of going to a few doors and then stopping on the side walk to go ahead and eat some of the candy. Ultimately it was a good strategy for parenting too since we didn't end up with as much candy when we got home.

The second this is on Halloween day we added a new member to our family, Piper, adopted from Take Me Home Pet Rescue. We've been told she's a Chihuahua/Terrier mix. She is small but feisty.

Since Piper is about 7 lbs it makes Leo's 20 lbs seem much bigger. The dogs are getting along really well and Piper helps Leo get much more active. Although, when it's time to nap he doesn't appreciate her taking his favorite sunny spot.
If you are interested in adopting a dog, you should like Take Me Home Pet Rescue on their Facebook page, which will keep you updated on pets available for adoption and upcoming events.
If you're not ready to adopt but would like to help, consider getting something from their Amazon wish list. I donated paper towels the other day when they said they really needed more.
