Our last scheduled activity of October was trick-or-treat. I very nearly cancelled, as it began sprinkling on our way to the small town we are invited to every year. The sprinkling occurred, on and off, for most of the night. It got heavier as we completed our 2 block circuit, which is when we usually head back anyway.
The girls picked out their costumes last year, and we bought them at Target for 80% off after Halloween 2010.
J was a Snow Princess, complete with luminescent skin and white eye make up.
L was a Southern Belle, with a beauty spot for good measure.
We got cold and damp, so hurried home to warm up by the fire afterward. As the girls were digging into their candy, I told them to slow down, "Only two pieces each!", I said.
"What?" JP countered, "It's Halloween!"
"Oh all right, 3 pieces." I conceded, while I tossed the remainder of last year's Halloween candy.
I'm such a softy!

look at those dazzling beauties.
i especially like j's socks--are those vintage?
THREE pieces of candy? you're slipping, girl.
i can't imagine we'll ever get through our candy by next year, even after i sent the grossest to martin's work so the college kids can rot their teeth instead of our kids.
