Halloween finally

Our computer crashed last week and even though we got everything up and running again the next day, the one thing that didn't work was the internet. Computers are funny right? Anyway, we finally got everything up and running and I am back to play catch up.

The girls had lots of fun on Halloween. I didn’t want to revisit the sushi costume with Chloe so I tried to put her in a few different things lying around the house. She was very anti-costume and resisted strongly being put into anything so finally I threw her in Elise’s ballet leotard I had just bought and there was no crying so one girl was done. I asked Elise if she wanted to be a Japanese princess again or Snow White and she said Snow White so we threw her in last year’s costume and away we went.

I wasn’t sure how long the girls would last since they both had colds and we already had plenty of candy from the trunk or treat, but after going to a few of the neighbors’ houses they were loving it so we decided to go to another neighborhood more conducive to trick or treating (all the houses in our neighborhood are kind of spread out and have long driveways). By the time we finished in the other neighborhood, Chloe was spitting out an approximation of “trick or treat” at every house and a pretty good “thank you” too. She was super excited and wanted to walk everywhere all by herself.

Elise was cute and told everyone she was Snow White. I was worried some of the houses were a little too scary for her. There was a house with 2 boys with scary masks passing out candy but they took their masks off and she said, “Silly boys,” and laughed really hard to herself so I guess she was fine.


I’m glad the girls had fun, but now we are stuck with way too much candy.

Exhibit A:



Exhibit B:

Those plastic pumpkins hold way more candy than they should.



Comparing candy the next morning. This was before they really realized what it was they were holding.
