We had a great halloween weekend. We spent our time in San Diego and enjoyed

 much needed fun and relaxing quality time. We waited the entire weekend for Simone

to go into labor...she has yet to pop....but it made it kinda fun and exciting. 

The girls got an early start on their trick-or-treating. We were hoping to avoid the 

whole scary aspect of the night...or as chloe calls it "the evils". I think

we surprised a few neighbors with our early knocks on the door...but the girls were

just too cute to turn away. They didn't want the evening to end...especially barth.

yes, barth has to dress up every year too
