halloween preview

i'll have to post more on our halloween weekend later. we had a spooky weekend (read: lots of fun). marianne loved being a lion, carving pumpkins, wearing her costume, and trick-o-treating. i was so excited because she actually climbed up porch stairs, went up to the doors and roared for candy...and said 'thank you' (the roaring and thank yous took some prompting, mind you, but i was one proud momma). what fun!
