“Last night was AMAZING. It was by far the best Halloween we’ve had yet! The costumes were awesome, the kids totally got into character, even the little meatball cooperated! The best part though was being able to finally see all of our friends & family gathered together, walking down the street of our adorable neighborhood, laughing & sharing in a relaxed, enjoyable, & incredibly fun night.
I really love Halloween, moreso after having kids for sure. My mom always made my costumes growing up and to now make them for my children is just one of those warm fuzzy instances which warms your heart.
I know the girls enjoyed past Halloweens too & even though I had them I was still always a little jealous of the families who dressed up and went out together. The ones who had friends they could pre-party with and then head out to trick or treat with. That just wasn’t our situation, and while it felt very isolating I tried to make the best of it for them. That’s what you do as a mom, right? Do the best with the cards your dealt and cross your fingers it’s enough. I came to a point where I just accepted it & the funny thing is, that’s when life changed. I’m going to write more about this another time but it was extremely hard to accept that this new, wonderful man in my life could actually be what I always felt I was missing before. Someone who wanted to help with getting everyone in their costumes, wanted to make friends with other families and expand our circle & wanted to slowly walk for blocks enjoying watching the dressed up little munchkins excitedly scurry their way up & down each neighbor’s driveway. There’s a picture below where you can see Sam walking down a pretty golden treed street but if you look closely there’s also a man, a little girl in a black dress & a stroller ahead. I took the picture to remind myself of this yummy moment where life was exactly what I had hoped for.“
IG is all about sharing. Good for her that she finally seems to have a happy and complete family.
