my work here is done

This evening we walked into a fabric department store where they had already set up several aisles of Halloween decorations.

Gabe ran from the front door straight toward a display of ghosts, witches, and skeletons, before loudly exclaiming, "Mommy! Look at this! I LOVE HALLOWEEN!"

And folks, I honest to goodness almost cried right then and there. This may be one of my proudest moments of parenting thus far.
