this week was good because...

...we celebrated Halloween in some small, but delightful ways.

...Wildcat Guy and I were able to find a reasonable balance of work and childcare while little dude was out with a (thankfully mild) case of Hand, Foot, & Mouth.

...kind (unidentified) strangers paid for our meal at brunch on Saturday. 

...I enjoyed a variety of conversations with my colleagues throughout the week. 

...my students' love and enthusiasm for spending time with the little dude is so lovely to see. 

...I had the opportunity to host a webinar highlighting some of my office's best practices for colleagues across the country. 

...our first meal at the new fast food chicken place in town was delicious (and definitely won't be our last). 

What made your week good?
