Our daily photos are usually a pretty good representation of what goes on in our life throughout the month, but for the things they don't show see below...

Loving
HALLOW-ween.

Hating
Fireworks. Please, please stop. I'm begging you, if you are reading this, please don't buy or partake in any fireworks this year or ever again. You are playing with explosives that litter the air and ground with pollution and rubbish, that cause animals (pets, wildlife, livestock etc) immense stress and affect them so detrimentally to the point of disorientation, fleeing their homes and even death. Then there are the people who suffer from anything from PTSD to Autism and everything in between who are made physically ill by fear. Please do not contribute to that. 

Thinking
I can't help but think about the fact that I have to endure the stress of fireworks for the next three months.

Feeling
Anxious.

to watch the full animated classics catalogue backwards leading up to our trip. 

Doing Less
Celebrating Halloween :( 
This year, for some unknown reason, has just not felt as Halloweeny. 
We've had so much going on that we haven't done all the usual things we like to do.
We haven't watched even one Halloween movie!

Stand Out Moments
