Halloween Festivities

My goodness, who knew that Halloween would spawn so many different parties for a two year old? Here are all of the parties that Taylor has been to:
1) MOPS
2) Library
3) Preschool
4) Kindermusik
Isn't that INSANE? She is one partying fool. She hasn't even trick or treated yet and she already has a gift bag full of candy. She is loving the idea that she goes to someone's door and says the magic words "trick or treat" and they give her food. I guess that is a pretty neat concept. Pictures will come as soon as tomorrow is over with!

"That's Taylor's Mommy"

Yes, I have entered that phase of my life. I was entering Taylor's preschool when a little girl and her mother passed me on their way out. The little girl tugged on her mommy's pants, pointed at me, and said "that's Taylor's mommy". I lived the first parts of my life as "Pete's granddaughter", "Sam's neice", "Nora's daughter", "Jackie's sister", "Jay's wife", "Bill O'Brien's daughter-in-law", and I have now progressed to "Taylor's mommy". I kind of like the sound of that. Despite the fact that Taylor is 2 1/2 years old it still seems odd to me to be referred to as "Taylor's mommy". I remember my mom always being referred to as "Jessi's mom" and it sounded so official. It is truly an honor to be known and labelled as someone's mom.

GARTH BROOKS!!!

Garth Brooks recently announced that he would be doing a "one man, one show, one city" concert and he'd chosen Kansas City's Sprint Center for that show. Tickets went on sale today for the November 14th show and they sold out in the first 60 seconds. So he started adding dates. We finally got two tickets to the show on November 6th!!! He'll be doing a show just about every night from November 5th to November 14th. Isn't that wild that he sold out all of those shows in just minutes after opening them to buy tickets?
