This week’s topic for Monday Listicles: “Ten Things Halloween.” Even though I have fallen terribly short in the way of baby books, at least I have chronicled my kids’ lives in photos and blogging. Well, given the fact that I got my first digital camera over 10 years ago around Kieran’s birth, I happen to have 10+ years of Halloween photos. Here goes!
