The Rocket Ship Halloween.

Maybe my theme for Sundays in NaBloPoMo will be ‘Things that happened three weeks ago.’ (Like my birthday road trip.) Gabe went ‘trick or treating’ last year – but it was really just a few floors inside our apartment building since he wasn’t even walking yet. This year? Ooooh, baby. He got so into it.

I voted last Thursday. Gabe and Mike and I stood outside in the freezing cold and waited in more long lines inside before casting our ballots (well, Gabe just played with Snoopy while we filled in the bubbles).

For my birthday weekend (three weeks ago…), we drove down to Dayton, Ohio to visit our dear friends Tim and Ellen and meet their 10-month-old daughter, Jane.
