Halloweeeeeeeeen (and some random other pics tagging along for the blog post ride)

Dom's first Halloween. Epic. Daycare called me on Halloween to pick him up early. The culprit: a rash. Poor guy can't get a break. He was still in good spirits, though, despite the skin irritations, and we continued on with our celebrations. He briefly donned a C3PO costume, but his bat costume really stole the …

Delicious Eyeballs!
