Anything But Gray

Halloween was pretty fun. …nothing spectacular…the weather was good, a bit cold, but good and we kept the trick or treating to our neighborhood and the kids were totally cool with that…yay!All of us went..Niki, Rick, Gabby, Trevor, his new girlfriend, Danielle (oooh la la!!) and me and the kids.

The kids didn't even complain or anything that their Dad wasn't around…YAY! I was worried about that. This is probably one of the first "big" things he has missed in their lives.  A holiday.  And they handled like nothing was amiss. 

 I noticed his absense. I hated it. I felt like a single mom, among all the other single moms and I just didn't dig it. We waited too long, have fought too hard to be together, worked too hard on our marriage for someone to glance at me and the kids and go…"oh, there's another single mom."  I know…I really, really DO know that what some stranger thinks in a passing glance at me, shouldn't matter and it's not going to keep me up at night, for certain….but in that moment…I didn't like it. At all. And it made me miss him bad. Sorry he was missing seeing the kids all dressed up and sorry he missed going with all of us. It's was a bit of a bummer. But because the kids are what matters….of course I didn't act like anything was wrong and they had a blast! So it's all good….:-)

Here's some pics of them…..cute costumes, huh??

There's more over in the pictures under the "kids" album.  :-)  Enjoy!
